Online Casino RNG V Live game shootout: Roulette
December 15 2009, Staff writer
Introduction
The concepts simple. Take a handful of well known casinos offering a
comprehensive range of roulette games, including both live and RNG and assess
both categories of the roulette based on a handful of criteria that broadly
speaking measure the quality of online casino play.
We considered such things as interface look and feel, playability over a range
of connection speeds, the degree of human interaction, time taken to complete a
bet round and the game range in each category.
It's not an overly scientific assessment and while every effort has been made to
remain objective, a degree of subjectivity comes into play for a number of the
criteria. Anyway, below are the summary results and links to the full
assessment pages.

Well what do you know? It's the RNG games by a nose on
the back of a slightly better game range and betting round speed. Of
course our criteria aren't weighted, so if your key criteria is a real wheel
spin and croupier then it's still probably your better option.

Microgaming casinos: Platinum Play
| Royal Vegas
We love Microgaming's European live roulette game.
Video quality, super graphics, full range of announced bets easily accessed and
of course a real croupier. On the RNG side though, their roulette range is
a comprehensive one and gets the nod with a 6 ticks to 5 win.

Applying our simple un-weighted criteria, this one was a
flat out tie. If you like your roulette played fast go with the RNG
option. If you want a real ball drop...
