By Phil - 27 November 2013
Inspired Gaming Group has launched 100/1 Roulette, a quirky addition to its popular multi-game Storm and Eclipse gaming machines across its 15,000 machine estate in the British betting sector that includes William Hill, Betfred, Paddy Power and over 20 independents.
Designed with Roulette lovers in mind, this unique game features 10p chips and an extended Roulette wheel with 105 wheel positions, as opposed to the usual 36 wheel positions on traditional single zero roulette games. The new 10p chips allow lower staking players the option to spread their bets more widely and the chance to win 100 x the bet. The innovative new wheel shape incorporates 1 – 100 red and black numbers, and there are also five green pockets. The bets are placed via a touch screen table display.
Gerhard Burda, acting Chief Product Officer at Inspired, commented: “Inspired’s innovative game development team works vigorously to create games of interest that are both different and fun to play for their customers. 100/1 Roulette is no exception and we are confident that the ability to stake low and win high will attract a new style of Roulette players.”
For those playing 100/1 Roulette on Inspired’s brand new Eclipse cabinets, there is the added benefit of being able to place innovative multiple bets on the touch screen player SmartDeck. These bets include Lucky 8. In one click this feature places chips on all 19 numbers that include the lucky number 8. Snake Bet sees a hissing sound effect with 10 chips are placed in a random snake pattern. Criss Cross sees 73 chips span the screen in a Union Jack style pattern, cost depends on the chosen stake. £5 Shotgun sees the player choose a number to cover; bets are ‘shot’ at random directly around it, this happens to a shotgun sound effect. These new bet features sit alongside the already established and popular Inspired Roulette bets; Lucky Dip, Double Up and Perfect Bet.
100/1 Roulette went live across Inspired’s UK estate on 26 November 2013 and will be available for other international markets soon.
