Inside Pragmatic Play’s New Live Game Show Money Time: Q&A with Anastasios Ioannidis

Pragmatic Play has gone from strength to strength in 2025. The studio has rolled out this major new release like Money Time, while also enhancing fan favourites with new features such as the long-awaited Double Down After Split in blackjack.

We caught up with Anastasios Ioannidis, Affiliate Manager at ARRISE powering Pragmatic Play, primarily to discuss Money Time, a high-octane live game show packed with interactive bonus rounds, massive multipliers, and a jaw-dropping max win of 40,000x. Anastasios broke the game down for us, walked us through the game’s features, and gave us a sneak peek of what’s coming next from Pragmatic Play’s live casino lineup.

Q: Let’s start with Pragmatic Play’s big new live casino release, Money Time. What can players expect?

A: Money Time is a blockbuster game show from Pragmatic Play featuring four interactive bonus rounds, random bet spot boosters, and enormous 40,000x win potential! The base game takes place on a 54-segment wheel in a spectacular studio, where expert presenters guide and entertain players. Each spin can award multipliers of up to 10x or entry to one of the thrilling bonus rounds.

Q: In what ways are the bonus games in Money Time interactive?

A: Each of the four bonus rounds – Bank Heist, Cash Roll, Coin Rush, and Money Time – provides a unique experience for players. In Coin Rush, players select a coin from an 8×8 grid to reveal a prize of up to 25,000x. And in Money Time, players step inside a golden vault and choose one of three colours before a giant wheel is spun, awarding prizes or respins, with up to 29,000x to be won.

Q: How do the other two bonus games play out and which is your favourite?

A: Cash Roll features six golden briefcases, each holding a prize that can be randomly boosted up to 5,000x. All the bonus rounds in Money Time are exciting, but Bank Heist is the big one. 16 numbered balls represent 16 locked boxes loaded with multipliers or bonus boosters, and depending on which ball is drawn from the tumbler, players have a chance to unlock Money Time’s huge 40,000x max prize!

Q: You mentioned bet spot boosters – how do they work?

A: On every spin, a booster ranging from 2x to 50x is applied to one of the bet spots on the wheel, applying to either an instant cash prize or a bonus round win.

Q: It’s been a bumper year for Pragmatic Play’s live casino. Can players look forward to any more exciting developments in 2025?

A: Yes, absolutely! Pragmatic Play’s live casino offering keeps getting bigger and better. One of the many highlights so far in 2025 has been the launch of Double Down After Split, giving players more choice and increased win potential in their favourite blackjack titles. Pragmatic Play also introduced its debut live poker games, Casino Hold’em and Jacks or Better Draw Poker, along with three incredible game shows in Fortune Roulette, Dice City, and most recently Money Time. Next up is Mega Roulette 3000 – a supercharged version of the hit original. Launching at the end of October, Mega Roulette 3000 will offer the chance for even more Mega Lucky Numbers on every spin, boosting straight-up bets by as much as 3,000x.
