Dream Catcher live game review

Dream Catcher is a live money wheel game show made by Evolution. A host spins a large, upright wheel and players bet on the number it stops at. It is a game of chance with no decision beyond where to place a bet, and every spin is independent of the last, so no pattern in past results says anything about the next. Two of the wheel's segments are multipliers that raise the odds on the following spin. Our team checks each fact here against the studio's page and the casinos' own pages.

How Dream Catcher works

The game uses a super-sized money wheel, mounted upright. The host spins it, and players predict the segment where it will stop. The wheel has 54 equal segments separated by pins. Of these, 52 carry a number: 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 or 40, each number in its own colour. The other two segments are silver, marked as a 2x multiplier, and gold, marked as a 7x multiplier. A flapper at the top of the wheel points to the winning segment once the wheel stops.

Bets are placed on the numbers.

A stop on a multiplier segment does not end the round. All bets stay in place and the host spins again. The next result settles the bets as usual, but the odds are multiplied by 2x or 7x, whichever multiplier the wheel stopped on in the spin before. If the wheel lands on a multiplier again, the multiplier from the last spin is multiplied again. The host keeps spinning until a spin ends on a number.

Dream Catcher is one of the live casino game shows streamed from Evolution's studios.

RTP and payouts

A winning bet on a number pays that number to 1. Evolution's page gives two examples: a winning bet on 5 pays 5 to 1, and a winning bet on 10 pays 10 to 1, and so on for the other numbers. The page also headlines multiplied payouts of up to 20,000x.

Evolution's page for the game gives no RTP figure, so this page gives none. RTP is the share of stakes a game is designed to return over a very long run of play, and it says nothing about a single spin.

UK casinos that list Dream Catcher

Every casino on this site holds a Gambling Commission licence. Three of the casinos our team has researched name Dream Catcher on their own pages:

  • Grosvenor Casinos: its live casino page names "Live Dreamcatcher" among its game shows, alongside Live Deal or No Deal, Monopoly Live and Live Crazy Time. See the Grosvenor Casinos review.
  • Casumo: its live casino page puts Dream Catcher with Money Drop as game-show style favourites. See the Casumo review.
  • Unibet: its live casino page lists Dream Catcher with Monopoly Live, Mega Ball, Sweet Bonanza CandyLand, Lightning Dice and Monopoly Roulette. See the Unibet review.

The other five casinos we researched do not name Dream Catcher on their own pages. A casino that lists a studio as a provider, as LeoVegas and BetMGM do for Evolution, has not necessarily put every game from that studio in its lobby. Lobbies change, so check the game show list in the lobby itself.

Play within your limits

Set your limits before the first spin: a deposit limit, a loss limit and a time limit. Live rounds and game show spins come quickly, so set a session time before you start and stop when it ends. You must be 18 or over to play.

The casinos on this page state these tools on their own pages:

  • Grosvenor Casinos: net deposit limits, gross deposit limits, take a break, self-exclusion, reality checks and game session reminders.
  • Casumo: limits on wagering, loss and deposits, spending limits, time-outs, reality checks and self-exclusion.
  • Unibet: deposit limits, net deposit limits, product blocks, product restrictions, self-exclusion and a player profile test.

A bonus or a big multiplier on screen is never a reason to raise a limit or chase a loss. If a session goes badly, stop.

Gamstop blocks every online site licensed in Great Britain at once when you register. Nothing on this site offers a way around a self-exclusion.

Questions

Who makes Dream Catcher?

Evolution makes it. The game's page names Evolution Malta Holdings Limited as licensed and regulated in Great Britain by the Gambling Commission, and gives Evolution's Malta Gaming Authority licence as MGA/B2B/187/2010. The same page lists Crazy Time, Monopoly Live and Mega Ball among Evolution's related games.

What do the 2x and 7x segments do?

They are the two payout multipliers on the wheel. Evolution's page says a win can be multiplied many times over when the wheel stops on a multiplier segment on successive spins, and one of its gameplay clips is titled with a run of 2x, 7x, 7x, 7x.
