Instant Roulette

Instant Roulette from Evolution Gaming is an extremely fast live roulette variant, or not - you can simultaneously take your time with each bet, but as soon as you're ready, the round is on! So, you don't have to wait for a croupier to start the game, but you also don't have to stress because you haven't decided on your numbers yet as the game is about to start.

It sounds almost too good to be true, and technically, it's kind of brilliant. Twelve roulette sets have been placed in Evolution's studio and they are synchronized in real time so that a new round starts as another finishes. When you are ready with your bet and click the "Play" button, you are automatically taken to the wheel that starts next.

The ball and the game rounds are controlled by magnets so there is no croupier in the room, and it almost looks like magic when the ball is sucked up to the edge of the wheel after a game round has ended... Which of course makes most people wonder if it is rigged. Technically, it is probably not a problem to design such a system, but Evolution's studios are of course checked regularly, as is required by their gaming licenses.

The wheels used are the same ones that Evolution uses in their "Automatic Roulette" variant. These play somewhere around 60-80 rounds per hour, and with twelve of them synchronized to maximize the number of rounds, we're talking about 720-960 rounds per hour. You won't be able to participate in all of them, but it raises the bar for what was previously possible in live roulette.

A computer keeps track of our bets as well as all the wheels and ensures that game rounds start at optimal intervals so that there is always an opportunity to dive in.

Just like on Evolution's other live variants, all the game's classic betting options are available.

Instant Roulette is played with European rules

The interface is intuitive and dynamic, and since you decide when you want to start the game round, there is room to experiment if you feel a bit unsure.

Instant Roulette is a great option for those who want to take the step from computer-generated roulette to the live version, or for the experienced roulette player who wants a shorter time between rounds.

This is a very exciting version of online roulette, but you lose some of the charm of the game when it's this fast. The interaction at the table is in our opinion what makes live casino so fun, and here it becomes rather impersonal. It can really be seen as computer-generated (RNG) roulette but with extremely good graphics.

With the fast pace, it is also easy to lose control of your budget and it is extra important to take it easy. At regular live tables, you naturally have a little more time for reflection, but here time flies.

However, the Instant Roulette environment is worth a visit just because the technology is fascinating in itself, but as I said, it's a bit too impersonal for our taste
