Live roulette at Lucky Live, and other live casinos powered
by Vuetec's Distance Gaming platform, may be distinguished from competing live
roulette platforms based on a number of key attributes...some good and some not
so good.
Real Bricks and Mortar casino roulette game
The first point of difference is the fact that the vision is
streamed from a real terrestrial casino and not a purpose built live dealer
studio. Whether or not this adds to the offering is debatable, but it is
an undeniable point of difference that sets it aside from roulette games offered
at Playtech,
Evolution and other platform
providers. On the one hand, you have the novelty of seeing other players
playing at the table from within the casino, and the game is being conducted by
a Fitzwilliam Card Club croupier. On the other, the vision is cumbersome
and the table environment not tailored to provide ideal video streaming
conditions (view orientation, lighting, dealer attention to the camera, dealer
chat, etc).
Java platform
The game interface is served via Distance Gaming's Java
technology. The resulting look and feel is (like the vision) clunky by
comparison with other live roulette games available. While bet and
customization options are all clearly and intuitively presented, the movement
and graphics won't dazzle you and the video itself is of poor quality.
Free play
This is a great feature and one not offered at most live
casinos. You are actually able to load the game and place bets with 'play'
money, allowing you to get a good feel for the game before playing for real.
While other platforms enable you to watch their live games without betting, you
still need to register a 'real' account before being able to do so.

Live roulette from Fitzwilliam Card Club
- zoom on spin result
At the end of the spin the camera zooms right in on the wheel to show
you where the ball has landed. However you will probably find the
vision is of such poor quality that making out the white ball isn't an
easy task.
Not to worry...a bet marker is clearly placed on the graphic table to
indicate the result. |
