Roulette Royale (Playtech)
Roulette games as we know them require you to place chips on the table for your bets and hope for a win with the outcome of the wheel spinning – but Playtech have created a roulette game that not only offers the thrills and anticipation of the roulette wheel spinning – but it also offers a progressive jackpot that can be won at any time.
Progressive jackpots grow and grow with no maximum limit to the amount of cash on offer, until some lucky devil manages to scoop the lot, so when you add this to an already exciting roulette game, you get a whole new and unique gaming experience like no other.
Roulette Royale is based on your standard European roulette game with the additional progressive jackpot cash sum on top.

Complicated play?
Roulette Pro is your standard European roulette game, so that means the wheel features 37 different pockets with a single zero. By studying the statistics on offer, you need to correctly guess where you think the ball will come to rest in the wheel – if you can do this, you will receive a cash amount in return, based on your stake. If you fancy a stab at that progressive jackpot sum, you will need to place an additional bet – a Jackpot side bet.
What makes it different?
Aside from the progressive jackpot – Roulette Royale remains the same as other traditional roulette games. You have a roulette wheel with 37 pockets with red and black numbers 1 through to and including 36 plus a single zero in the green pocket. The betting table offers your usual bets but with a red table cloth. You won’t be able to take your eyes away from the top of the screen because this is where that progressive jackpot keeps ticking over. To the right of this is the display panel which shows you the history of the wheel. The Jackpot side bet is sitting to the lower of the table and you will need to place your chips on this in order to have a shot at winning the eye-watering cash to the top of the screen. So how do you win that progressive jackpot? Well, to put it simply, you need to place a Jackpot side bet and if the wheel spins in 2, 3, or 4 of the same number on consecutive spins, you will win the amount stated for this. But, if the wheel hits 5 of the same number on 5 consecutive spins – that huge progressive jackpot is yours.
Bets and house edge
A 1.00 Jackpot side bet is required in order to try and win the big cash on offer. The house edge is standard 2.70% as you’d expect from European roulette.
Required roulette strategy
If you are playing to win the big cash jackpot on offer, you don’t have to bet big stakes to do this – 1.00 is all it takes to take part, but the probability of 5 consecutive spins producing the same number are very slim indeed. You will need a big bankroll that can withstand losses – because if you are trying to get 5 spins the same, you will be playing for hours on end.
