Fans of the Crazy Time game sometimes catch themselves thinking that it is the dealer’s hand that controls their fate. But is this really the case? Let’s try to take a look behind the scenes of this show and figure out whether a change of host can really change the course of your ship, or whether it is just a beautiful illusion that we are so happy to believe in. The Illusion of a “Lucky Hand” and the Search for Patterns The human brain is an amazing mechanism that is evolutionarily programmed to look for connections where there may not be any. In Bangladeshi culture, we often rely on omens: the right colour of clothing, the right day to start a business. In the same way, we transfer these superstitions to our smartphone screens. When you enter a game and see that a particular dealer has rolled Pachinko three times in a row, your brain instantly labels him as “lucky”. You start to believe that there is some kind of mystical connection between you and the dealer, and that while he is at the helm, you should bet big. However, if we put our emotions aside and look at the situation soberly, we will realise that the dealer is just an actor in the theatre of mathematics. His job is to entertain you, keep the conversation going and, most importantly, physically spin the wheel. But we often confuse cause and effect. We think that the bonus came up because this person spun the wheel. In fact, it is just a coincidence in time. If someone else had been standing in his place and applied the same force at the same second, the result would have been identical. But psychology works differently: we remember the winners and forget those who lost. This is called the “survivor bias,” and it is what makes us eagerly await the return of our “favourite” to the airwaves. The Physics of Wheel Rotation Let’s delve deeper into the mechanics, because many players seriously believe that experienced hosts have what is known as “muscle memory”. There is a theory that a dealer who has been working for years can learn to spin the wheel with such force that it stops in the desired sector. If this were true, casinos would have gone bankrupt long ago. The Crazy Time wheel is designed by engineers to eliminate the human factor as much as possible in the physical world. The main secret lies in the braking mechanism and the very arrow (flipper) that taps the pins. This tapping not only creates tension, it also creates friction. Even if two dealers start the wheel at exactly the same initial speed, microscopic changes in the resistance of the mechanism will make the final result unpredictable. The dealer only sets the initial momentum, but does not control the braking process. It’s like cricket: a bowler can throw the ball perfectly, but how it bounces off the unevenness of the field is beyond his control. Nevertheless, there really is a difference in the style of spinning, and attentive players can notice it. Some dealers prefer sharp, strong jerks, which cause the wheel to make many revolutions. Others spin gently and smoothly. This affects the duration of the round, but not the probability of a bonus. The sectors are evenly distributed, and a “strong” spin does not give an advantage over a “weak” one. If we try to classify presenters according to their manner of interacting with the wheel, we can identify several types that are perceived differently by the audience: Energisers. They spin the wheel with their whole body, often change hands and make a lot of noise, which makes the game seem faster and more dynamic. Melancholics. Their movements are smooth, almost lazy, and the wheel spins slowly, allowing players to stay in suspense longer, hypnotising the pointer. Robots. Dealers with perfectly honed, identical movements who seem not to look at the wheel at all, focusing entirely on the camera. Dealer Change and the Psychology of Rebooting There is a special moment in the Crazy Time game that occurs about every half hour and causes a storm of emotions in the chat – the change of host. For many players from Bangladesh, this is not just a technical reshuffle, but a real ritual of karma cleansing. If the game has not been going well for the previous 30 minutes and the balance has been melting away before their eyes, the arrival of a new person is perceived as a breath of fresh air. Players believe that the new person will bring with them a “new algorithm” or “fresh luck”. In reality, this effect is purely psychological. When the presenter changes, the pace of speech, the tone of voice and the overall energy in the studio change. This forces you, as a player, to shake yourself up too. You may stop making automatic bets and start watching the game closely again. This “reset” of attention can help you make a more informed decision, such as skipping a round or changing your strategy. In other words, the change of host affects the outcome not because the wheel starts spinning differently, but because you start behaving differently. Sometimes the opposite situation occurs: the host who brought in bonuses leaves, and the chat explodes with requests for them to stay. Players experience real fear of loss, thinking that along with the person, their streak of luck will also disappear. This creates a nervous atmosphere. The new dealer has not even had time to say hello, and he is already being blamed for the fact that the next spin brought a “one”. The emotional background in the studio is a powerful tool of influence, and the casino is well aware of this, regularly changing the faces on the screen to maintain the level of tension.
