Regulators named for the provider

Format of the game
A presenter hosts each round from a studio. A virtual wheel with 53 segments decides the result: 46 cash segments and 7 bonus segments that open Lil' Blues, Big Oranges or Huge Reds. The bonus ceilings are announced at 100x, 200x and 500x, and the whole game is reported to be capped at 5,000x the stake.
How the game appears in a lobby
The show sits in the live casino or game shows section. A table page shows the studio stream, the betting panel, a history of recent results and an info button with the rules and the RTP per bet. A search for the title brings up the tile in most lobbies. A stake of C$1 is enough to watch how the betting panel behaves before choosing a larger one, and the provider name in the info window is the quickest way to match a tile with the facts above.

Provider facts and casino facts are separate
The lines above describe Evolution. A casino has its own owner, its own regulator and its own terms, and these appear in the footer of its website and in its cashier. A casino card names the regulator that the card data lists for that operator. For the game, the relevant facts are the same at every casino: the wheel is run by the provider, the result is shared by the table and the rules sit in the info window.
