Three New Live Games from Playtech

Published: sat 27 jul 2019

The Developer Keeps on Delivering

Playtech is a developer which has been releasing new games on a regular basis ever since the company was first formed in 1999, but sometimes it surprises even the most expectant of gaming enthusiasts by announcing multiple new titles at the same time. This month is a case in point, because the company recently announced the release of three new live casino games on the very same day. Those games are American Roulette, Hi-Lo Club and Spread-Bet Roulette, and every one of the new titles is well worth spending time with. Let’s take a look at each one in turn…

American Roulette

The new American Roulette game from Playtech has been designed to capture the luxurious style and atmosphere of the Grand Royale room which will be familiar to those of you who have already played Playtech Live games. As the name of the game suggests, American Roulette features a wheel with two zeros (0 and 00), as opposed to the single zero wheel which is more common in Europe. Whilst that additional zero increases the house advantage, it can also make for a more exciting game, especially for those who enjoy betting on zero itself.

Playing this American Roulette title is every bit as entertaining as spending time in a traditional bricks-and-mortar casino, and you get to enjoy a full range of bets, so you can be as daring or as reserved as your attitude to risk allows. At the most daring end of the spectrum, you can place a straight-up bet on any single number (including 0 and 00) and be paid odds of 35:1 if your selection proves successful. At the opposite extreme, the more reserved players can bet on red, black, odd, even, high or low, and the odds paid for success here are 1:1. Between those two extremes, there are numerous other betting options, so you can bet on the dozens, columns, lines, corners, split your bet between two numbers, and more.

Whatever kind of bets you are interested in placing, the mechanics of doing so are elegantly intuitive, and require little more than your ability to choose the chip denomination that you want to use and then click on the area of the table layout that corresponds to your selection.

The experience of playing this American Roulette game is supremely satisfying, and the title gives players everywhere the chance to bring a generous helping of luxury into their lives. If the gaming session also helps you to emerge as a winner, so much the better!

Hi-Lo Club

Hi-Lo Club is not exactly a brand-new offering, but rather a fully redesigned and revamped version of the game previously known as Hi-Lo. For those of you who haven’t played any form of Hi-Lo, it is one of the most straightforward of live casino card games, making it one that appeals as much to complete beginners as it does to more experienced players. All you have to do in Hi-Lo Club is predict whether the next playing card in a sequence will be higher or lower than the previous one.

There are, of course, more betting options than simply higher or lower. You can also bet on the next card having the same value as the previous one, on the colour or suit of the next card, and so on. As with American Roulette, actually placing a bet is a simple matter of clicking on the relevant area of the table layout after having selected your stake.

Hi-Lo Club features a vibrant ‘80’s Miami’ theme which has influenced the design of every aspect of the game, from the revamped table layout to the décor, the uniforms of the dealers and even the new background music. In short, if you appreciate a straightforward live casino game and you also have a soft spot for the eighties, Hi-Lo Club can’t fail to impress.

Spread-Bet Roulette

This new title is ideal for roulette fans who like the idea of having the opportunity to win bigger sums than would normally be possible, and it offers that possibility thanks to a special spread-bet side bet feature. The game combines the usual live casino roulette wheel with a Spin a Win mechanic, the outcome of which is determined by a random number generator. This provides you with seven more betting opportunities than you would normally have and gives you the chance to win up to 400 times your stake in any given round, depending, of course, on the bets you place.

Immersive and Exciting

‘The demand for experience-focused gameplay amongst the modern generation of Live Casino players is stronger than ever,’ said Kevin Kilminster, who is Head of Innovation for Live Casino at Playtech. ‘Live Casino is part of the entertainment industry as well as the gambling industry – the presentation and atmosphere we can deliver is what makes players choose Live over standard RNG games. 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.’

Help Yourself to a Triple!

Each of these three new games from Playtech is well worth playing in its own right, but we would suggest that you consider spending some time with all of them so that you can decide which one you like best.
