Live European Roulette Review

Some businesses go to market and end up in the toilet soon after. Take the CueCat for example. This was a peripheral barcode reader that connected to your PC and was shaped like a cat 🐈. It was given away free back in the year 2000.

Some 830,000 were distributed by Forbes magazine, and Wired magazine mailed 📭 more than 500,000 of the devices to the subscribers.

This QR code precursor was embedded in those magazines as a way to get readers to interact with articles and have a multimedia experience by scanning the codes.

Great idea but an article in The Wall Street Journal published this scathing assessment: “In order to scan codes from magazines and newspapers, you have to be reading them in front of your PC. That’s unnatural and ridiculous.” 😭

Live European Roulette is Platipus Gaming’s first-ever live game on BitStarz. So how did they fare? Only one way to find out. 😱

Gameplay

The hot topic surrounding Live European Roulette was whether or not the babe in the promo material was one of the croupiers. Turns out she wasn’t (probably AI-generated), but you do get to ogle a bunch of other babes in classy black dresses, so all is not lost.

The setting for the game is stunning. In addition to the croupier and the roulette wheel, you’ll find an overlay of the table, a graphic for your balance and total bet, and a graphic of the recent numbers that hit.

As this is a live game, you’ll have a certain amount of time to place your bets – just like you would in a brick-and-mortar casino. There are also buttons to undo your last bet, and one to double your bets.

Stats-wise, this low-volatility game has an RTP of 97.30%, a max multiplier of 35x, and a potential payout of $8,850.

By the way, that max win amount is based on the maximum bet on a single, split, corner, row, etc. hitting at the same time. Just by way of comparison, NetEnt’s European Roulette offers a top prize of $5,000.

Features

Live European Roulette offers no features, so I’ll discuss the game’s various settings and features instead.

If you look at the top right-hand corner, you’ll see that you can toggle the sound on and off. Next to the sound icon is the settings one, where you can set your preferences for sound and video, and also edit your player name.

The next icon represents the history, and the question mark is where newbies can learn about how to play roulette, and how this game works, specifically.

At the bottom right of the screen, there is a heart icon representing your favorite bets. Next to this is a pie chart icon showing some in-depth stats. Lastly, there’s the icon for Autoplay.

Performance

Performance is the most essential aspect of Live European Roulette and I have to give Platipus two thumbs up. The image quality was superb, and there were no issues with loading or streaming. It worked a treat.

The game will kick you out though, if you’re a spectator for too long, but many games do that.

Maximum Win

Betting starts at $0.25 and goes up to $1,000. The largest multiplier is 35x (newbies; that’s because of the 35:1 odds on a straight-up bet landing), and the top payout is $8,850.

Conclusion

The truly impressive thing about Live European Roulette is how well the game translates perfectly to mobile play. You’ll see that the table graphic is vertical if your phone is in portrait mode, so everything adapts and works as it would on a larger device.

So, unlike CueCat, you won’t be forced to sit in front of your PC.

Lightning Roulette is a game you could try if you're looking for some interactivity. It’s also a live game and there’s a chat box at the top of the screen where you can interact with the other players.

Lightning Roulette also allows you to change the camera angle, which is a sweet option, and there’s also live support if you need it.

So, I reckon Live European Roulette can still take things up a notch but as their first foray into live roulette, this game is a solid entry.
