Start The Week With 4 New Live Dealer Casino Games
By Shane Addinall Oct 10, 2021 Game ReleaseEnjoy four fantastic new live dealer casino games from three of the industry’s leading developers. The titles we review include a live roulette game, live blackjack, a Chinese bead game and a bingo-inspired leader board game.With the sheer volume of new online slots being released each month, it is easy to be swept away in a torrent of Free Spins, bonus features and progressive jackpots. However, as one of the fastest growing online casino verticals, we felt it is necessary to raise awareness of some of the fantastic new live dealer games being brought to market.
A few weeks ago, we covered two new live dealer titles by TVBet and this week we have handpicked four new live games by Evolution Gaming, Playtech and Microgaming which are sure to grab your attention.
✓Real Spooky Roulette by Microgaming
In keeping with the Halloween spirit of October, Microgaming has launched its chilling new Real Spooky Roulette live dealer game. While the dealer is as professional and well put together as always it is the setting that piles on the creep factor.
The entire experience takes place in a decrepit gothic casino. The air is thick and musty, dust motes dance in the lighting and wherever you case your eye there are jack-o-lanterns, and even a chained coffin with a hand breaking through the rotting wood.
- Game Type: live roulette
- Volatility: Low
- Hit rate: 48.65%
- RTP: 97.30%
- Stakes: 0.25 – 125.00
- Max Win: 516x bet
Real Spooky Roulette does not sacrifice quality for camp. Rather the game plays brilliantly on desktop and mobile offering punters a single zero, the option to place racetrack and special bets while offering a slew of statistics to help you plan out your betting strategy.
Having whatever passes for good fortune over the Halloween season could see you raking in wins up for €64,500 per game when staking the maximum bet of €125. If that is too rich for your blood wagers begin as low as €0.25 per game allowing every table game fan to play a few spins of Real Spooky Roulette.
✓Fan Tan by Evolution Gaming
One of the best parts of the advancement of live casino gambling is getting to experience new types of games from around the world. Evolution Gaming’s most recent release, Fan Tan, is an excellent example of this.
Fan Tan is a Chinese bead game with a simple premise. The dealer will randomly select a few beads from a larger pile and then separate them into columns of four beads. Punters get to place bets on whether the last column will consist of 1, 2, 3 or 4 beads.
- Game Type: Chinese Bead Game
- Volatility: Low
- RTP: 98.75%
- Stakes: 0.20 – 1000.00
- Max Win: 2.85x bet
In Asia, this is a very community-driven game with a lot of excitement around applauding your friend and booing your table nemesis. To translate to the online space Evolution Gaming have created two betting interfaces.
The “simple” interface shows you three betting options. You can stake on a winning number, on Odds/Evens and Big/Small (this is a hedge bet where you bet on “1/2” or “3/4” coming up).
The “advanced” interface offers additional bets popular in Asia. These are Nim (bet on 2 numbers, the first wins and the second is a push), Kwok (bet on 2 numbers, both will win) and Ssh (bet on 3 numbers, where all three will win). It is worth noting that while Ssh offers the best chance of winning the payout is a tiny 0.32 to 1.
✓Cash of Crash by Evolution Gaming
Evolution Gaming invites you to join them on the Cash or Crash blimp and ascend the heavens as you play their bingo inspired game show in search of big wins. The game room window looks out over the same fantasy world as Crazy Time, only as you win and climb the prize board, so your blimp ascends until it is floating among the clouds.
Cash or Crash is very simple to play. Using a bingo-style ball selector a drum is filled with 19 green balls, 8 red balls and 1 gold ball. You decide on whether to stay in the game or cash out your wins before it all comes crashing down.
- Game Type: Bingo Mechanic with a Twist
- Volatility: Very high
- RTP: 96.08%
- Stakes: 0.20 – 10,000.00
- Max Win: 50,000x bet
Each game round will see a new ball being randomly selected. If the ball is green you move up one of the possible twenty game rungs, where each rung offers an increasingly larger win multiplier up to a maximum of 18,000 times in the base game.
When the green ball is pulled, and you step up one level you can stay in the game for another pull or cash out half of your win. If you pull a red ball the round ends and any unclaimed wins are lost.
Pulling a gold ball will shield you against the next red ball so the game plays automatically without any exit options until a red ball is drawn. Once a red ball “breaks the shield” of a gold ball all players who stay in the game will find the maximum payout for reaching level 20 has boosted from 18,000x to a massive 50,000x your stake.
✓Quantum Blackjack Plus by Playtech
Long before Playtech branched out into so many non-gambling verticals it was one of the online casino industries foremost producers of quality tables games. With the advent of the live dealer casino niche, Playtech has once again begun delivering excellent gaming in an area where they used to shine.
Quantum Blackjack Plus is a fine example of just how good Playtech is at delivering high-speed streaming content and entertaining gameplay supported by skilled croupiers.
- Game Type: 6 Deck Live Blackjack
- Volatility: Low
- RTP: 99.57%
- Stakes: 5.00 – 500.00
- Max Win: 100x bet
Quantum Blackjack Plus is a revamp of the company’s original blackjack game with multipliers. The updated version sees you playing with 6 decks instead of 8, players can get up to 5 multiplier cards per round with a maximum value of 10x for each card, and you can now also Double on a split.
The one rule that shifts the odds a little is the rule that says that any winning player hand, where the dealer busts on 3 cards, is considered a push, not a payout. The only caveat is if the player hand contains a multiplier card, in that case, the hand will payout regardless of the 3 card bust rule.
To help you plan your betting strategy Playtech have included a history report which shows your card dealt, dealer action and results of the last 100 hands.
