How to Play Live Dream Catcher Money Wheel

1. Learn How to Access Dream Catcher Game

As a trademark game, you will only find the Dream Catcher Lucky Wheel available at online casinos that employ the Evolution Gaming brand of software. That sounds like an easy task when you consider there are approximately 500 of them accepting Canadian players. Then again, do you really want to trust your personal and financial information with just any website? Absolutely not.

The smart player is one who takes the time to choose the right iGaming operator. You want one that is safe, secure, and reputably licensed in a jurisdiction where regulations are strict and compliance is rigorously upheld. Anything less is taking a risk far greater than gambling alone.

If you’re looking for a quick answer, I can recommend UK-licensed Leo Vegas Mobile (est. 2011), or Malta-licensed Royal Vegas Casino (est. 2000), both of which are among the industry’s finest Canadian-facing operators.

Once you’ve chosen an operator, signed up an account and made a deposit, look on the casino’s games menu for the Live Casino option. Within this menu, look for the Dream Catcher Lucky Wheel game. It’s a live studio game, so give it a moment to load on your screen.

On your first visit, I suggest sitting out a few rounds and watching things unfold. That, combined with the knowledge below, should give you all the confidence you need to place your first bet.

2. Understanding the Dream Catcher Wheel

The wheel is made up of 54 total positions. Each is marked with one of the following identities: 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 40, 2x, 7x

Numerical values indicate a winning number, and its respective payout (e.g. winning number 5 pays 5 to 1). Numbers with an “x” represent multiplier values.

It is these multiplier values that make Dream Catcher Live such a unique game. When the wheel lands on a multiplier position, all bets remain in play. There are no winners or losers. The multiplier is applied, and another spin takes place. The winning number’s regular payout is increased by the multiplier.

Example 1: The wheel lands on the 7x position, and then lands on 5. The 5 would normally pay 5 to 1, but the multiplier increases the payout to (5*7) 35 to 1.

Example 2: The wheel lands on 2x, then 7x, then 20. The normal payout would be 20 to 1. With both multipliers applied, it becomes (20*2*7) 280 to 1.

There is no limit to the number of multipliers that can be applied to a winning number. So long as they continue appearing consecutively, they will continue increasing the payout rate until the wheel stops on a standard number. However, there is a limit to the maximum prize per spin. Players cannot win more than $/€/£ 500,000 in a single play.

The following table depicts the numerical values on the wheel, how many instances there are of each, and the ratio between positions and appearances (e.g. 1 appears 23 out of 54 positions, or 1 in 2.35.

3. How to Calculate Dream Catcher House Edge

Normally, the house edge would be easily calculated using the position-to-ratio information on the table above. However, because the Dream Catcher wheel game has multipliers, we have to take their potential into account.

Fortunately, being a physical wheel, it is not biased. As such, we can conclude that the x7 multiplier will strike in 1-in-54 spins, as will the x2 multiplier. They can also appear consecutively. It’s not common, but it does happen [as proven in this actual video footage of the wheel landing on 7x three times in a row before landing on 1, resulting in a 343x payout on the most common number].

Thus, taking into account infinite possible multipliers, the average multiplier per bet would be 1.15555 (or 52/45). This increases your potential payout by 15.55%, which makes this particular wheel game more lucrative than any of the traditional Big Six wheels found in land-based casinos.

The table below shows the standard payout per winning number, and the average payout based on multipliers. All things considered, the impact on the house edge and RTP (theoretical return) per wager is as follows:

4. Dream Catcher Strategy & Expectations

In learning how to play Live Dream Catcher Money Wheel – if you were paying close attention – you’ve already drawn the conclusion that 10 is the best bet. Any proper gambling strategy calls for minimizing losses (lowest house edge) and maximizing wins (highest return to player, or RTP). The chart above shows that the lowest edge and highest RTP are found on the 10, making this the most value bale position on the wheel, and therefore the right strategy to follow.

This does not mean that betting on 10 every time will generate a profit. Your realistic expectations should be winning back 96.58% of all the money you wager on 10, over a long period of time. That’s equivalent to 3.42% losses (aka, the casino’s house edge). The edge is always there to ensure the casino will win in the long run. But that doesn’t mean you’re destined to lose, either.

The difference between winning and losing players is variance, the technical term for what most of us like to call luck. If the wheel spins one million times, those long term results will grant the casino a 3.42% profit from all bets on 10. Each player who made the wager will win, on average, 96.58% back (which, again, is really a loss of 3.42%).

However, some players will win more than 96.58% back, and some will win less than 96.58% back. This represents the variance, wherein the players who won more got lucky, and those who won less (lost more) didn’t.

If you participate in such a large number of spins (long term), you, too, can expect a median loss of 3.42%. In the meantime, you’ll experience the variance of upswings and downswings. If you are lucky enough to experience a nice upswing, and smart enough to walk away when you do, you can call yourself a winner.
