Dream Catcher: RTP, odds and how it works

Dream Catcher is Evolution's first money-wheel game show: a 54-segment wheel with numbers 1 to 40 and two multiplier segments that respin with bets left in place.

If a 2x or 7x lands, every bet stays and the wheel spins again with the multiplier; consecutive multipliers combine. Multiplied wins reach 20,000x. It premiered at ICE on 7 February 2017.

Our verdict: For players who want a plain wheel with no bonus games. Bet 10 for the best return; avoid 40.
