Playtech relaunches Live Football Roulette in new Let’s Play studio
Playtech, the world’s leading gambling technology company, has relaunched its successful Live Football Roulette game as part of its new sports-themed Let’s Play studio, with a brand-new Goal Side Bet feature.
Originally launched in 2018 as Football Weekend Roulette, the popularity of the table saw its coverage expanded to cover all major football activity, including the Champions League, throughout the week.
The dedicated Let’s Play studio, replacing the previous green screen backdrop, is designed as a permanent, dedicated sports-themed environment, which will play host to a wide range of sport-led content throughout the year. Alongside roulette play, dealers provide live commentary on all matches, streaming news on live major football events worldwide. A touch-controlled video wall will display key moments from games, plus Statscore match statistics, creating an even more immersive experience.
Live Football Roulette now features a new Goal Side Bet feature, giving players a roughly one-in-seven chance of winning each time they play the feature. When players make a goal bet five neighbouring numbers are selected at random and, if the ball lands on one of these numbers, the player wins, with a minimum multiplier of 3x – and potentially up to 100x. Animated football shirts indicate the neighbour numbers, adding to the visual appeal and sense of anticipation, while an in-game leaderboard tracks and displays the winners on a separate screen.
Commenting on the relaunch, Edo Haitin, CEO of Playtech Live, said: “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.
“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.”
