Live Roulette in South African Online Casinos

This is the world’s most significant provider of live games, and today they feature more than ten supreme-quality variations of this game. The studio caters to all kinds of players as they offer all the three roulette types. They also come in a variety of wagering options, catching high rollers’ attention with $5000+ bets. Some of their games bear prestigious trophies, like Immersive Roulette, which was awarded EGR’s Game of the Year 2014.

  Lightning Roulette

  Often referred to as a game show, Lightning Roulette features a single-zero formation with an exciting bonus that can shower a player with an x50 to x500 multiplier on each Straight Up bet. What’s more, there can be up to five special multipliers in each round. But this alluring addition comes at a cost: any winning Straight Up bet pays out 30:1 instead of a normal 35:1. The roulette was voted EGR’s Game of the Year 2018.

  Immersive Roulette

  Using multiple cameras, the roulette shows you the action from a few angles and applies a slow-motion effect as soon as the ball has landed. Crisp graphics, a choice of game views, and an elegant classic studio, let alone the 200 fps stream, made it one of the best live roulettes online. Immersive Roulette enables saving up to 15 favourite bets.

  Double Ball Roulette

  This unique game delivers two winning numbers in each round due to two balls shot onto the wheel simultaneously. The game offers more betting opportunities, one of which can bring a fantastic 1300:1 payout. All kinds of bets are deemed to win only if both balls fall within the targeted group of numbers, e.g. a typical 1:1 outside bet (red/black) has a 3:1 payout in Double Ball Roulette, and it counts only when both balls hit the option you have wagered on. This is a really innovative kind of live roulette!

  Gold Bar Roulette

  Using a concept similar to Lightning Roulette, the provider goes the extra mile by allowing players to choose their lucky numbers and multipliers by themselves. Moreover, a winning Straight Up number awards a gold bar that can be stacked up and wagered on any betting spot for a ground-breaking payout.   

The studio comes up with three roulette titles played on 10+ tables. Its official site also mentions Spanish Roulette, but this is a regular European version with a Spanish-speaking dealer. Vivo has eight studios in different countries, all used for streaming roulette. Some tables are staged from the floor of Portomaso and Oracle casinos. Live roulette applies a chroma-key backdrop to create a tailored experience, much like NetEnt used to do. Their dealers are a bit robotic, and the graphics could be better, so you should not expect the Evolution-like quality in Vivo roulette. The roulette tables are great for casual players, while whales will likely be disappointed with the max bet of about $500 to $1000 (casino-dependent). Anyway, Vivo products are suitable for fans of classic roulette solutions.

  European Roulette

  The game uses advanced 4D cameras and multiple views that switch automatically as a round progresses. The main rectangular betting grid and racetrack are docked to the bottom right corner, while a row of menu buttons is at the top right. Here a player can change video quality, view stats, switch to a full screen, and refer to the rulebook. The chips bar hides when the betting time ends, freeing up more space. This is a typical European table with classic bets, odds, and payouts.

  Auto Roulette

  Some roulette live casinos feature the Auto version in which there’s no dealer, and the ball is released by compressed air. The action is faster than in a croupier-led game, with about 30 seconds between rounds.

The studio is slow in rolling out new live game titles, featuring about 20 of them as of writing. Live roulette is available in five unique variations and a couple of language versions like Roulette Italy and Roulette Germany, in which the setting is meant to remind players of the local atmosphere while the dealers speak their language. Pragmatic also has a dealer-free Auto roulette. Quality-wise, all the games resemble Evolution titles in many respects: high-definition video, flexible settings, and a couple of selectable views. Games are broadcasted from two studios located in Romania and Bulgaria.

  Mega Roulette

  Released in February 2021, this single-zero creation looks similar to Evolution’s Lightning Roulette in that both feature bonus multipliers of x50 to x500 and a decreased payout for Straight Up bets. In Mega Roulette, a player may pick Mega bets in addition to the classic set, place chips on all 37 slots in one move, and choose bets directly from the Statistics and Last Results. The betting time is cut to only 20 seconds. Mega Roulette looks excellent in portrait mode as well.

  PowerUp Roulette

  One of the best live roulettes in South Africa, PowerUp Roulette combines an eye-catching retro pin-up style with an exciting twist on classic rules, while its $0.1—$5000 bet range makes it an ideal pick for all budgets, esp. low rollers. A massive screen behind the croupier wearing classic outfits shows three to five PowerUp numbers for each round. If the ball hits one of these numbers, a bonus round starts, during which the active multiplier can increase to x2000. All the regular bets are in place, including the racetrack for Called bets and a selector of Neighbour numbers.

  Speed Roulette

  Using a wheel with one zero slot, Speed Roulette has an 11-second betting time, so the game is great for seasoned players who know all ins and outs. The traditional racetrack features four Called bets (Zero, Voisins, etc.) and a few complex bets (Finale in Plein, etc.). Helping players fit in the fast pace, the live roulette has a Favourite tool, Hot & Cold numbers, and an autospin feature (min five rounds can be set to repeat bets automatically).

Though more known as an RNG game supplier, Playtech boasts a robust collection of classy live games. Studio settings are different, depending on the location the game is streamed from. Knotably, the back catalogue contains over ten live roulette games, but some are no longer supported.

  Single Zero Roulette

  If you are looking for a traditional layout with normal speed, this live European roulette is the best choice. Unlike roulette from other providers, a player has to confirm the bet by clicking on the command button at the centre for the bet to be accepted. A standard bet range is $0.5 to $500, while a high roller version enables betting up to $5000. The camera is stable with no additional views, but a portion of the screen zooms on the wheel track to show the winning number.

  Quantum Roulette

  Based on European roulette, the live game features multipliers of up to x500, which are assigned to certain Straight Up positions every round. The roulette was launched in September 2019, delivering a great combination of visual appeal and innovative solutions. Increasing the winning potential further, a so-called Quantum Boost randomly enhances the multipliers.

  Age of the Gods Bonus Roulette

  Playtech is famous for its extensive Age of the Gods jackpot shared across 15+ video slots. As a nod to roulette fans, the provider has attached the progressive jackpot to its live dealer roulette, making it riskier but potentially more profitable. The grand prize is hit randomly with a small chance every spin. When it activates, you will be transported to a bonus grid containing 20 coins, and your task is to flip the coins, trying to match three of them. Ultimate Power jackpot (the highest one) seeds at $100,000.

  Live French Roulette

  Found in the best live roulette casinos, this variation features a La Partage rule that cuts the house edge by half (to 1.35%). In other respects, French Roulette has all the same bet options as any other single-zero table, except that its wheel bets are written in French.
