6 Craziest Online Roulette Game Variations
Without doubt, the last few years have seen an explosion of some crazy online roulette games at NZ online casinos. Although RNG roulette games are still popular, market-leading developers like Evolution Gaming have taken live roulette games to a whole new level by introducing extreme odds and eye-catching game show formats.
Appreciating roulette players’ appetites for big payouts, game developers have focused on creating enhanced odds versions of the classic Vegas casino game. With these boosted odds ranging from 50x all the way up to 2,500x, there’s plenty to keep you on the edge of your seat.
Let’s have a closer look at some of the most exciting roulette games currently available online.
6. Xxxtreme Lightning Roulette (Evolution Gaming)
Following the success of the original Lightning Roulette and its 1,000x top payouts, Evolution Gaming took things one step further with this new online casino release offering a 2,000x top payout.
While the ball spins, the live dealer pulls a leaver to light up 1-5 numbers that will pay between 50x and 500x your stake on straight up bets. There’s also a Chain Lightning feature that can randomly trigger to turn up to nine more numbers into Lightning Multipliers.
If that wasn’t enough, there’s also the random Double Strike feature, which can increase those multipliers all the way up to 2,000x.
5. Roulette Mega Moolah (Switch Studios)
The Mega Moolah series of progressive jackpot pokies have been making overnight millionaires since 2006, with top titles including Atlantean Treasures, Fortinium Gold and Absolootly Mad.
Switch Studios have now given classic casino players a shot at that same huge prize pool with this exciting roulette game.
At the start of each spin, up to five numbers can be selected as Multiplier Numbers to offer odds of up to 200x your bet. Each of these will then have a chance to become a Mega Moolah Number.
If you’re lucky enough to win a straight up bet on one of these numbers, the Mega Moolah Jackpot Bonus is triggered and one of four progressive jackpots (Mini, Minor, Major or Mega) is guaranteed to be won.
The Mega Jackpot is seeded at £2,000,000 (or NZD equivalent) with it often paying out much higher than that.
4. Vinnie Jones Roulette (Real Dealer Studios)
Real Dealer Studios have created something truly unique with this cinematic-quality display bringing iconic football hardman Vinnie Jones to life as your roulette host.
Once you have placed your bets, Vinnie will call ‘no more bets’ before the winning number is selected by a Random Number Generator. A corresponding video clip is then played to show you where the ball lands.
This innovative release has spawned plenty of sequel games, including Vinnie Jones Stories Roulette and Vinnie Jones Blackjack - with the latter described as ‘the dog’s b*llocks’ by our famous host.
3. Red Door Roulette (Evolution Gaming)
Red Door Roulette is a fusion of two of Evolution Gaming’s most popular releases - Lightning Roulette and Crazy Time.
Instead of offering enhanced odds, up to 15 numbers are randomly selected to receive Golden Keys - sometimes with an additional multiplier of up to 20x.
If one of these numbers lands, you will be taken to a virtual environment that contains a Crazy Time wheel of fortune. This wheel contains 64 segments, all of which offer an increased multiplier that will be applied to your win.
Some of these segments offer to double all the odds on the wheels before it is re-spun, with multiple doubles possible all the way up to 4,000x.
2. Roulette x5 (Golden Rock)
Golden Rock is a small, relatively new game studio with big ideas - one of which was to offer a roulette game featuring a random x2 multiplier in 2020.
Fast forward a few years and we now have a new x5 version that offers a 10% boost, 50% boost or a 5x multiplier on your total win.
While that might not sound too impressive on the face of it, it’s a 5x multiplier on your total game win - which could already be up to 35x. This would mean an overall payout of 175x your original stake.
After each game round, six dice are rolled - if you match at least four of any kind you will receive a boost on your game win.
As with any of these hugely popular enhanced odds roulette games, we would expect to see bigger sequels coming in the near future.
1. Extreme Multifire Roulette (Switch Studios)
While Switch Studios have a reputation for producing classic RNG casino games, this release is far from traditional.
Extreme Multifire Roulette awards up to three randomly selected Multifire Numbers before each spin, which each of these awarding up to 500x.
These already generous odds can be further enhanced by the Extreme Tumbler, which can boost this by up to 5x - all the way up to a maximum of 2,500x your stake.
Conclusion
With enhanced odds and bonus rounds fast becoming must-have features for online roulette games, where can game developers go next in their quest to create the next big blockbuster?
It appears nothing is off the roadmap when it comes to these new releases, so expect some more crazy and innovative features to come in the not-too-distant future.
