Microgaming Unveils New Live Multi Roulette Product
Microgaming has added another game to its Live Games product line. Players will now be able to enjoy Multi Player Roulette, along with the other games including Live Blackjack, Live Baccarat, Live Multi Player Baccarat and Live Roulette. The new multi player roulette version caters for up to seven players around a single table, allowing them to view how others are betting, to interact with top, professional dealers in real time, and to enjoy exciting casino roulette action from the comfort of their own homes.
“Multi-Player Roulette is a really exciting new product and a great addition to the Live Dealer portfolio,” said a spokesman for the software giant. “Microgaming has always been at the forefront of gaming innovation and we are constantly working with our operators to ensure that our games are inventive and entertaining.”
He also said: “We always listen to feedback from operators and have tried to recreate the buzz of a land based casino, where players can watch the moves by other players and share that winning feeling.” “This new game is a great addition to Microgaming's Live Dealer Package,” said David Brickman of the Jackpot Factory group. “Multi Player Baccarat has proved hugely popular with our players, who enjoy the real feel of the casino experience and we're confident Multi Player Roulette will prove equally popular.”
