Playtech's Asian dealer studio (Makati City, Manila, Philippines) has undergone a major overhaul recently. The old roulette game is reviewed here. While the game range and house rules are unchanged, the upgrade is a massive improvement as regards to look and feel.

Currently 2 live roulette variations are offered, as follows:

• European roulette - house rules
  Standard single zero roulette with simple interface and table layout. Standard bets and payouts offered:
  

  Chip Covers	Term	Pays
  1 number	Straight Up	35 to 1
  2 numbers	Split Bet	17 to 1
  3 numbers	Street Bet	11 to 1
  4 numbers	Corner Bet	8 to 1
  4 numbers	Four Bet	8 to 1
  6 numbers	Line Bet	5 to 1
  12 numbers	Dozen Bet or Column Bet	2 to 1
  18 numbers	Red/Black, Even/Odd or Low/High Bets	1 to 1

   

• French roulette - house rules
  French roulette (also single zero) table layout and easy access neighbour and Announced/Call bet panel.

Interface look & feel, playability

If the aim of live online games is to replicate a real (lavish) casino experience then this live roulette game is about a 9 out of 10 (the old version was about a 4!). Right up there with the best live roulette games available.

Video quality, whether playing large or small video mode, is impeccable. Audio is likewise crystal clear (unless you turn off the sound!)  The interface is feature rich, yet uncluttered and the dealers are very engaging indeed. Win or lose, lots of entertainment to be had here.
