Evolution Sets September Date for Disco Balls

Evolution will introduce Disco Balls on September 9, 2026, adding a new live game show built around numbered ball draws, changing multipliers and bonus rounds. The disco-themed title brings back Mr Funky from Funky Time and marks the first Evolution game to use evolving multipliers throughout its main round.

Players begin by selecting a number from 1 to 20 on the betting grid, predicting which number the ball machine will produce. The game also allows broader bets covering numbers 1-10, numbers 11-20, even numbers, or odd numbers.

The winning payout depends on whether the Result ball matches the player's selection and on the multipliers accumulated during the round.

Number Draws Control The Main Round

Once betting closes, Disco Cat enters the game and places random multipliers and Bonus symbols across the betting grid. A number can receive several multipliers, with those values added together when this happens.

The game then begins drawing balls from a machine containing Step balls and Result balls. Step balls move either the red odd-number multiplier ladder or the gold even-number ladder, with both ladders capable of reaching 500x.

A Result ball ends the main round and establishes the winning number. Players who have backed that number receive a payout calculated using the multipliers they collected. When a Result ball appears as the first draw, the game applies a 5x multiplier.

Evolution has also assigned different ranges to the game's multiplier types. Disco Cat can award multipliers between 3x and 20x, while Ball multipliers run from 3x to 10x. The Ball multipliers can be added again whenever Disco Cat returns during the round.

Bonus Symbols Open Separate Dance Floors

Disco Cat can mark one number between 1 and 20 with either a Disco or VIP Disco Bonus symbol. That number becomes a Bonus number for the round and can receive a Bonus game multiplier reaching 25x.

If the Result ball lands on a Bonus number, the game moves into its corresponding Bonus game. The multipliers gathered during the main round carry into this stage, extending their effect beyond the initial ball-drawing sequence.

The two Bonus games follow the same mechanics, although they use different dance floors. Disco takes place across a 37-square floor, while VIP Disco uses a 63-square floor.

During either Bonus game, a mini wheel determines Mr Funky's movement. His position changes with each spin until he falls from the edge of the dance floor. The combined multiplier from the game can reach a maximum of 10,000x.

Mr Funky Returns For The New Format

Disco Balls draws on the atmosphere established by Funky Time while giving the familiar character a role within a different game structure. The title combines lottery-style numbered ball draws with multipliers that can develop as the main round progresses.

The game also uses its Bonus stages to extend the multiplier system after a winning Bonus number appears. With the main ladders reaching 500x and the overall multiplier capped at 10,000x, the format gives multiplier progression a central place in the game's design.

Evolution is scheduled to launch Disco Balls on September 9, 2026.
