Evolution Lines Up Hasbro-Inspired Game Night For Q4 Launch

After a roadmap shift following its preview at ICE Barcelona back in January, Evolution’s highly anticipated Game Night is officially scheduled to land on November 25.

Teaming up once again with toy titan Hasbro, the live casino giant has crafted a sprawling, studio production that packs iconic board game characters, random base-game multipliers, and five standalone bonus rounds

Wheel Structure

Before we get to bonuses, let’s talk wheel first.

The game revolves around a 54-segment wheel split across 45 regular slots and 9 dedicated bonus segments. Random multipliers drop onto selected segments and bump the numbered payouts up to 5x. If a multiplier hits a bonus segment, that extra juice carries straight into the feature round.

Here’s what the wheel looks like, including payouts:

• Number 1: 22 segments (pays 1:1)
• Number 2: 15 segments (pays 2:1)
• Number 5: 8 segments (pays 5:1)
• Bonus Segments: 9 segments split across 5 classic games

If you’re here only for the bonus rounds and nothing else, Evolution has conveniently placed an All Bonuses button, so you never miss out should the ball land right.

Hasbro-Flavored Bonuses: Pick Your Player

Bonuses are where it’s at with Game Night. There are five of them, each coming straight from Hasbro’s iconic kitchen.

And unlike standard game shows where you are pretty much a spectator watching the action from the stands, all five bonus rounds put you in the thick of things and force you to pick a side before the action starts.

Connect 4

In the Connect 4 mini game, you choose Team Red or Team Yellow as discs drop into a grid loaded with multipliers. The first team that connects four in a row horizontally, vertically, or diagonally snags the main prize. The runner-up gets half the reward. Random 2x multiplier drops can hit the grid at any point.

Battleship

Set inside a naval warfare studio, you pick a coordinate on the grid to reveal a multiplier. Then, you fire on a burning warship to scoop up its combined values, covering anywhere from one to four segments. Even if your shot misses, you still walk away with the base segment multiplier, potentially boosted by random bomb multipliers.

Hungry Hungry Hippos

Pick one of four colorful hippos and watch them scramble to gobble up multiplier balls. Payouts depend on which color ball your hippo hoovers up the most. You might also want to look out for random bird boosts overhead; sometimes the bird returns post-race with a special feather that instantly doubles your total take.

Snakes and Ladders

Pick Team Pink, Purple, or Blue and race across a massive, 100-square board littered with all kinds of Hasbro critters. Snakes, ladders, extra rolls, and instant cash prizes are just some of them. Teams start with three dice rolls to reach square 100, with surprise additive multipliers applying right before the race kicks off.

Rock Paper Scissors

A quick-fire showdown against two live spinning reels, one for the host’s move, one for the prize pool. Pick your throw and match it up: beating the host pays out the prize reel multiplier, a draw awards a solid 7x consolation payout, and even a loss hands you a 3x safety net.

Behind the Wheel

Despite playful iconography, Game Night is still a gambling game, so numbers do matter.

The most important number is 10,000x, which is the max win potential of Game Night. The second most important is 97%, which is the optimal RTP if the only segment you bet on is Number 1. The lowest is for the Connect 4 bonus round (95.15%). Not sure about the minimum bet size, but it’ll probably be entry-level.

Evolution’s Proven Hasbro Playbook

This isn’t the first time Evolution has turned to Hasbro’s toy box to print live casino hits. The provider previously leveraged the partnership to build global blockbusters like MONOPOLY Live and MONOPOLY Big Baller.
