Love it or loathe it, football plays a major role in delivering entertainment across the globe; from grassroots football teams to top teams in the English Premier League. From kick-off to the final whistle, football is packed with edge of your seat entertainment and to celebrate the new season getting underway, Playtech have announced the re-launch of their Live Football Studio and it’s more immersive than ever before!
The previous green screen backdrop has been replaced by a more intuitive screen, which will deliver up to the minute sporting news as well as replaying key moments from globally streamed events. Up to the minute commentary will be featured throughout as well as detail on upcoming events and fixtures. Statscore match statistics will be on hand at all times as well as a screen for recent winners and a leader-board for big winners.
What is This New Game?
Live Football Roulette is styled on a European Roulette wheel with odds of up to 35:1, but unlike the popular casino variant, Playtech’s latest invention offers a Goal Side Bet feature where players are afforded a 1 in 7 chance of landing a win each time they utilise the feature. When players achieve a goal, five numbers are chosen at random and highlighted by a football shirt on the table. If the ball lands in one of these special pockets on the next spin, a minimum multiplier of 3x is applied to winnings, and could potentially be as much as 100x!
Edo Haitin, CEO of Playtech Live, comments: “Live Football Roulette has grown from being a promotional table to one of our most popular games throughout the year, so we know players will be very excited by this newly enhanced version. Football is, after all, known as ‘the beautiful game’, so here at Playtech Live we felt it deserved a studio to match! The gameplay has received an important boost too, with the new Goal Side Bet feature offering an engaging, innovative twist, with the enticing prospect of that potential 100x win.
Immersive visuals, game statistics, a chat feature and…
…customisable camera angles all come as standard, as well as the usual betting options of straight up bets with odds of 35:1, red or black, odds or even, highs or lows, dozen bets, columns, line, street, split and corner bets. This particular online casino vertical was launched back in 2018 as Football Weekend Roulette and as the popularity of the table game exploded, Playtech, renowned for DC Comic slot releases, decided to cover all major football activities, including the Champions League.
Haitin continued: “Of course, what’s still at the heart of Live Football Roulette is the newsfeed, stats and dealer commentary, all of which allow players to keep up with the action on the pitch alongside the excitement of the roulette game. Live Football Roulette has been one of our most successful Sports and Live Casino crossovers, offering compelling content for Sports bettors and a highly effective cross-sell tool for operators. The specially designed Let’s Play studio also creates a wide range of possibilities to deliver seasonal and bespoke content across a variety of Sports, based on operator and market demands.”
