Buy Multipliers and Win Up to 2,000x in Ezugi’s New Ultimate Roulette Live

Among the newly introduced Evolution Group live games are Ezugi’s Video Blackjack, launched last month, and Ultimate Roulette. Today we’ll take a closer look at the latter, which is coming to Ezugi casinos on the 29^th of March at the latest. The game falls into the broader multiplier roulette category and is essentially an update of Evolution’s Xxxtreme Lightning Roulette, being set in an elegant circus environment. The keywords are 11 random numbers that can receive multipliers, players can buy up to 3 extra Lucky numbers, and the luckiest will win a 2,000x bet on a Straight-Up bet.

Ultimate Roulette is the third live table game in the studio’s Ultimate series. It follows the launch of Ultimate Sic Bo with up to 1,000x multipliers, and Ultimate Andar Bahar, where multipliers can hit 500x. Based on a single zero roulette, the upcoming classic will too have a host, but the ball is spun automatically within the Auto Roulette wheel. When the betting time closes, 1-5 numbers will be chosen for random multipliers (50x, 100x, 150x, 250x, 500x, 750x and 1,000x) and highlighted in the user interface as well as in the game show environment. That’s 2x more on the upper end than in the Xxxtreme Lightning Roulette that came out last year. Similarly to the latter’s Chain Lightning and Double Strikes, in Ultimate Roulette, the multipliers can expand and spread to up to 3 neighbours on the betting grid, and double in value, making it possible to win the highest multiplier of 2,000x.

What’s new in Ezugi’s multiplier live roulette is that players can buy up to 3 extra multipliers per game, which costs 10% of the total bet. Bought Lucky numbers and Spread multipliers will be highlighted in yellow in the user interface and displayed in the studio. A Straight Up bet on a Lucky number is required to win a multiplied payout! That means some compromises to the inside bet payouts:

• Straight Up – 27-1999:1
• Split – 17:1
• Street – 11:1
• Corner – 8:1
• Line – 5:1.

For comparison, straight-up bets in European roulette pay 35:1, whereas in other multiplier roulette live games like Lightning Roulette, it’s 29:1, and in Pragmatic Play's PowerUP Roulette, it’s 24:1, which has higher multipliers. When playing with optimal strategy, the theoretical average return to player is similar to regular roulette at 97.30%. However, straight-up bets and the use of extra multipliers change that as follows:

• Straight Up bet: 96.84%
• One extra number: 94.66%
• Two extra numbers: 94.34%
• Three extra numbers: 97.17%.

All in all, the Ezugi-powered Ultimate Roulette promises to be an exciting and somewhat familiar addition to regular live casino players, who could use some variation of the top-rated Lightning series. Keep your eyes on online casinos with Ezugi games to try it for yourself at the end of this month, and see how you like the new Video Blackjack where players also share their video and audio streams.
