Playtech Premium Roulette Games
By: Michael Chan, Friday May 6th 2011
Playtech, one of the premier online casino software developers in the world, knows that having one version of a popular game sometimes isn't enough. These days, players may appreciate the "classic" version of a game, but they also don't mind venturing into something that may have a little more in the way of features and possibilities in order to enhance the general gaming experience.
For those people, Playtech has developed its "Premium Roulette" series.
The components of the Playtech Premium Roulette series that we are going to focus on are:
- Premium French Roulette
- Premium European Roulette
- Premium American Roulette
One of the things that Premium French Roulette offers is multi-player action, with the opportunity to put together a private group table where you can get many of your friends to play at the same table. It's this sense of community that separates this game from others of its kind.
The premium version offers an even higher level of graphic design, along with other features such as a professional dealer making the calls of the winning numbers, that makes this a flat-out winner and very much like the atmosphere you would normally encounter in a physical casino setting. You can also change speeds in this game, so you can play as fast as you want to.
Premium European Roulette, like the French premium version, has the flexibility to let you play in single-player mode, as well as multi-player and private group mode. Just go get the players and make sure they know the group name.
If you are with other players in multi-player games, you can access a "Chat" feature where you get a text box and can fire away. Once again, this is something not available in the "classic" version of the game. Some of the game commands have been improved; for example, you can click "Double" and all the bets you have out on the table will be doubled.
Another feature available in all three of these premium games, when you're doing the multi-player thing, is that you can exercise the option to skip your turn (with the "Skip Turn" button) so that the game will skip over you. After all, you never know when nature - or your mother - is going to call.
Premium American Roulette offers a bit of a different look from Playtech's "classic" version of the game. In the premium version you are going to see the roulette wheel much bigger, with the close-up, zoom view of the ball in a smaller window so as not to take up as much of the screen.
Sounds are different as well. You will hear professional dealers making the announcements of winning numbers, and in this way it is also an upgrade over the classic version. What they have in mind at all times is to make the online casino experience that much more life-like. There is an improved table coverage indicator which lets you know how much of the wheel your bets are covering.
Those players who like to engage in tracking the numbers that have been selected will enjoy the premium online roulette edition more as well, because it allows for more of a "history" display, which shows you the numbers that have been chosen in red, black and green (that's the zero and double zero). No need to pull out that pad and pencil. You'll also be able to look at a history of the bets you've made, with their results, through the use of a toolbar. If this is part of your plan of attack, this game is ready for you.
