Spread-Bet Roulette puts an RNG spin on live dealer roulette

With the 'Spin a Win' RNG prize wheel, you can win up to 400x your total staked bet.

Take a spin for big multiplier prizes in Playtech's latest live dealer attraction: Spread-Bet Roulette.

Featuring a unique RNG prize wheel, you can now bet on up to 7 side bets with 400x prizes up for grabs on every spin. Now available at your nearest Playtech Casino, this is live dealer spectacle as you have never seen it before.

Playtech also took a chance to update some of their existing games with the launch of this brand new room. Both American Roulette and Hi-Lo received a lick of HD paint and now look better than ever.

Spread your options with Spread-Bet Roulette

At a glance, this looks like your standard Playtech live roulette affair. And let's be honest - there's nothing wrong with that. But the addition of the prize wheel brings something new to the table. And if you love Lightning Roulette, then you are going to love this.

Speaking about their live dealer casino upgrade, Kevin Kilminster, Head of Innovation for Live Casino said:

“The demand for experience-focused gameplay amongst the modern generation of Live Casino players is stronger than ever."

"With the addition of American Roulette, Hi-Lo Club and Spread-Bet Roulette to our range, we can offer players an even more immersive and exciting entertainment experience”

Spread-Bet Roulette Review: A decent spread?

From the offset, it's clear that Playtech's latest room is a direct challenge to Evolution's Lightning Roulette. And in many ways, Spread-Bet Roulette is much better. Especially when it comes to player choice.

Set in a chic studio with modern decor, the game is played on a European wheel. And this gives you some of the most favourable odds out there. Behind the main roulette wheel is a much larger vertical wheel. And this is where it gets interesting.

The outer edges represent the spaces of the roulette wheel - and on the inside, we have a smaller golden wheel. When a game starts, these wheels will both spin and stop at the same time. The sum of the aligned numbers added together is what is used for the side bet. These are:

Side Bet	Payout
Green (0-1)	400:1
Blue (68-72)	80:1
Yellow (2-11)	15:1
Purple (12-18)	10:1
Pink (55-67)	7:1
Red (19-33)	2:1
Orange (35-54)	1:1

In addition to the above multipliers, there is a chance that pays can double up thanks to the Green Win rule.

Gameplay-wise, you can choose to either play straight up roulette bets - or place wagers on the various spread side bets. If you are feeling particularly adventurous, you can choose to play both at the same time. This instantly doubles up your betting opportunities.

Each round starts in the same way:

Betting: You place your bets on either the RNG wheel, the roulette wheel or a mixture of both.
Spinning: The expert Playtech dealer spins the ball and no more bets are accepted.
Results: You not only find out if your roulette bet wins but if RNG has been kind as well.

Spread-Bet Roulette Strategy

The ultimate Spread-Bet Roulette strategy focuses on the spreads with the highest likelihood of success. You could also adopt a more risky strategy that focuses on the high pays. Here's a couple for you to try:

The Safe Bet: Betting on the red, orange and pink area covers you for 48 potential spread results. Granted, these areas will payout at a slow rate - but you also have solid odds of hitting one of these areas.

The All or Nothing Bet: You place bets on the green (or blue) and nothing else. This could certainly work if you prefer to focus on the roulette action, with the side bet coming in as a nice bonus. The odds of the green winning are pretty low - so it's a good option to keep on the backburner.

Spread-Bet Roulette Vs Lightning Roulette

Playtech's Spread-Bet Roulette poses a legitimate challenge to the award-winning Lightning Roulette. On one hand, it's hard to ignore the 500x multipliers (or the presentation) of Evolution's modern roulette masterpiece. But these multipliers are random prizes - and you have to factor the way multipliers are applied.

In Playtech's case, you get to choose the prizes you play for - and also control your variance. Sure, they are still random - but you do feel like you have more control over the game. At the end of the day, this is a world where both types of roulette games can exist. And that means more choice for you.
