American Roulette from Switch Studios: Game Review - live the American dream!

Bring the American casino experience to the palm of your hand in this new release from Switch Studios in association with Microgaming! This game follows hot on the heels of Switch Studios’ other successful roulette game European Roulette which was released earlier this year and is a cutting-edge table game variant of the all-time classic casino game Roulette. Join us as we spin the roulette wheel in the hopes of landing a big cash prize and read on to find out if this game has what it takes to make Lady Liberty proud?

American Roulette is played on a standard roulette wheel and comes with a range of betting options including Racetrack Bets, Favourite Bets, and Special Bets.

Special Features

The idea behind roulette is quite simple as it is all about predicting the exact number where a ball will land when the roulette wheel is spun. American Roulette is a tad different to European Roulette as it features an extra zero which is referred to as the double green zero. Payouts are still the same for both games. For instance, the payout of a single number win is 35 to 1 in either roulette variant.

American Roulette comes with a nice range of features to really make it stand out from a crowd of roulette variants. For starters, this game allows players to view it in portrait or landscape mode. You can also avail of an Autoplay mode which lets you set a pre-determined number of spins using the same bet configuration.

In terms of game features, American Roulette comes with a unique range of betting options to appeal not only to advanced gamblers but also novice players as well. For example, Race track Bets can be accessed via the Racetrack button and gives you access to an alternative betting layout that is displayed in an easy to follow racetrack-style setting. It's a rather original way of placing lesser-known wagers not often used in Roulette games.

If you find particular joy with a certain bet configuration then you can add up to 6 pre-saved bets at the touch of a button by selecting the Favourites button. A neat feature here is that you can rename each favourite bet so you won’t forget any of them in a hurry. You can also access the Special Bets feature via the Favourites button and it’s here where you can choose from 6 very popular bet configurations including the following:

• Red Splits
• Black Splits
• Snake
• Random 7
• Orphelins Plein
• 007

The final feature to highlight is the Statistics Panel. This can be viewed by selecting the Statistics button and provides a comprehensive breakdown of the last 100 spin results including Hot and Cold Bets, Statistics Wheel, and Spin Results by percentage. If you are a stats fan then this feature will come in very handy for when you are making your next bet.

Theme, Graphics and Sound

American Roulette features contemporary and slick looking graphics with a very easy to use interface. The game as you might expect takes place on a casino table that has a wonderful green felt finish along with all of the numbers neatly displayed below the wheel. It’s fantastic that you can play the game in Portrait or Landscape mode on both mobile and desktop computers as this adds some much-needed variety to the gameplay. The animations are outstanding as the wheel bounces from segment to segment as you anxiously wait for it to drop on your number. Interestingly enough, the ball is actually modelled on real true-to-life ball behaviour which adds a nice touch of realism here.

The game features superior sound effects to further add to the excitement of this much-loved classic casino table game.

Win lines, Payouts and Jackpots

The game has 38 numbers to choose from in a variety of ways, a below-average RTP of 94.74%, and a low maximum payout worth 573X your wager.

Below is a summary taken from the PayOut Table from the game.

Bet Range: 0.25, 0.50, 1.00, 2.00, 5.00, 10.00, 20.00, 50.00, 80.00..125.00

Our Verdict on American Roulette

This game is made by UK developer Switch Studios in partnership with Microgaming and is a refreshing take on a classic casino table game. It features outstanding 3D graphics, stunning gameplay, and comes with a nice range of betting configurations to really make it stand out from the crowd. For example, the Racetrack Bet option offers a nice range of lesser-known wagers to pick and choose from and it’s also pleasing that you can save up to 6 pre-selected betting configurations via the Favourite button. The Stats button is also a very welcome addition here as well as you can avail of a tonne of information which should appeal to gamblers who like to know all the ins and outs of their previous bets before placing your next bet. The top prize for this game is a decent 573X your bet and I found this game to be of Low variance which means you will be landing plenty of small-sized wins here in no time at all.
