Quantum Roulette is becoming a very popular live variant of Playtech thanks to its 500x multipliers. This is a European Roulette (one zero) game where the multipliers randomly select straight numbers from 50x to 500x, offering great prize potential. The Quantum Boost feature further increases the value of the multipliers.
Quantum is a visually entertaining game similar to Evolution’s Lightning Roulette. In fact, roulette fans may notice quite a few similarities between the two developments. If you’ve been looking for a video roulette game, try Evolution’s First Person Roulette. You can switch to the live version at any time.
Both creations work in much the same way, but the Playtech variant can be said to be more visually appealing, with more flashing lights as the multiplier rewards drop. All the action takes place on a Playtech roulette wheel with an automatic slingshot, but there is also an entertainer with a microphone who talks about the situation. Of course, the experience often depends on the individual, but it can be quite exciting.
The layout is pretty standard. So there is a European betting table, as well as a betting field on the hippodrome (for Voisins du Zero, etc.). In each round, you can hit up to 5 single numbers with a multiplier from 50x to 500x in increments of 50.
Where Quantum Live Roulette differs from Lightning Roulete is the random boost that can boost multipliers up to 50x.
Another random feature that can double or triple multipliers. In both cases (Boost and Leap), the maximum number that can be obtained is 500x.
Let’s say you placed a bet of 10.00 on the number 8 and the 50x multiplier landed on it. The player will win 490.00 plus get back their original 10, resulting in 500.00. So you can win only on direct bets. If a player covers 8 with an outside bet such as a street bet, they will not be rewarded for the multiplier.
If you usually like to cover large areas of the table, then you might be better off playing a more classic game of roulette, as Quantum Roulette is really all about multipliers. Another option is to close the table in a similar way, but with lower stakes per number. So, instead of betting on red, for example, you can simply cover 50% of the table with 18 bets on the same number. And then the player will be eligible for the Quantum reward.
The Return to Player on Quantum Live Roulette is 97.3%, i.e. house edge 2.7%. This is pretty much what a player would get for a standard European roulette, so the casino does not give any overall advantage, but simply changed the payout time and number, making this game more volatile compared to the standard one.
Whatever the player does in Quantum Roulette, you need to do it with direct bets, otherwise the whole point of the game is lost. Yes, the single number payout is lower than standard roulette, but only until the multipliers hit, in which case the participant could be in line for a 500x payout.
