Live Rapid Roulette

The wombat says: Live Rapid Roulette is a live dealer roulette game from NetEnt – and the clue is in the name, as in this version, your betting rounds are fired off much quicker than in a standard roulette game. Each bet lasts around 25 seconds long, Wombat fans – which is half the time of other NetEnt live roulette tables!

Let’s give this lightning-fast game a go…

And if you are looking for a virtual game? Well, then we’d recommend Announced Bets European Roulette from Tom Horn Gaming.

Look and Feel

Despite the focus on faster gameplay, the player experience is still top-notch here, and as a NetEnt table game, it’s been designed to be an absolute breeze to play.

Your screen features include an automated wheel, favourite bet options, game statistics and player chat. Oh, and there’s your friendly croupier too, who is on hand to spin that all-important roulette wheel…

It’s a pleasure to play on. It makes some of our other games like Blazing 7s Roulette look a bit basic.

Game Play

Live Rapid Roulette is a common draw European roulette variation, and you can place your bets from 0.50 to 2000.00 per go in euros, pounds or dollars

The roulette wheel comes packed with 37 pockets numbered 0-36. And in case you didn’t know, the aim is to guess which slot the white ball will drop into after a spin of the wheel.

As this game is played at a super fast place, you’ll need to keep your eyes on the status bar; once it begins to flash, you will have the chance to place a final wager before that lucky wheel spins again. This game is quicker than a round on Instant Horses from Leap Gaming!

Pay outs
As the game is played on a European wheel, you can expect Euro Roulette pay outs. A straight-up number, for example, will pay a maximum of 35 to 1 – making it the most valuable (and rare) bet on the wheel.
