This Playtech live roulette variant is becoming very popular thanks to its 500x multipliers . It’s a European Roulette game (one zero) , with multipliers hitting straight-up numbers at random from 50x all the way to 500x.

Live Quantum Roulette is a single-zero variant with an automated roulette wheel and virtual table interface. The presenter’s only task is to host the session and keep the players engaged, as opposed to the actual dealers who take active participation in the game, by setting the wheel in motion. As the wheel and ball start to slow, it will land in one of the thirty-seven available pockets. This includes a single green zero, and thirty-six standard numbers in red or black fields. Quantum Roulette uses the European roulette table as a basis for its design, so there is no second zero on the board.

Multipliers range from 50x to 500x offering a big prize potential.
The Quantum Boost feature increases the value of multipliers even further.

Quantum Roulette Odds

This is a visually entertaining game along the lines of Lightning Roulette from Evolution. In fact, aficionados of the wheel might notice quite a few similarities between the two games.

The 2 games work in many of the same ways, but you could say that the Playtech variant is the more visually appealing, with plenty of flashing lights when the multiplier awards drop in. All the action takes place on a Playtech auto slingshot roulette wheel, and then you have a compère with a mic who is talking you through the action. The experience often depends on the individual of course, but it can be pretty engaging.

Game Play

So the layout is pretty standard. You have a European betting table plus a racetrack betting area in view (for Voisins du Zero and so on). Up to 5 single numbers can be hit with a multiplier on each round from 50x to 500x in steps of 50.

Quantum Roulette Payouts

Random Boost
Where Quantum Live Roulette does differ from Lightning Roulete is on the Random Boost which can add up to 50x to the multipliers.

Random Leap
Another Random feature that can double or triple the multipliers. In both cases (Boost and Leap), the maximum multiple you can get to is 500x.

Example
So say you had a €10 on the number 8 and the 50x multiplier hit that number. You would win €490 plus you would get you original ten back, bringing you to 50. You can only win these kinds of bets on straight up bets. If you had covered 8 with a outside bet like a street bet, you won’t win the multiplier award.

Play Single Number Bets
If you normally like to cover substantial areas of the table, then you might be better off with a more classic roulette game, as this game is all about the multipliers really. Your other option is to cover the table in a similar way but by playing lower value single number bets. So instead of betting on red, for example, you could just cover 50% of the table with 18 single number bets. And then you would be eligible for the Quantum awards.

29:1 rather than 35:1
Someone pays for these big multipliers, and that is the straight up bettors. Here is the flip side of the coin. If you win a straight up bet that does not get the Multiplier Tinsel treatment, you will get a pay out of 29:1 rather than the 35:1. So, as in many casino game, the trick is to pull off a 500:1 win early on in your session!

RTP

The Return to Player on Quantum Live Roulette is 97.3%, ie a house edge of 2.7%. That’s pretty much what you would get for standard European Roulette, so it’s not as if the casino has gifted you any of it’s overall advantage, they have just rejigged the timing and quantity of the payouts, making this a more volatile game compared to a standard European variant.

• The 500x Multiplier. If that hits early, you are in a good place!
• Visually appealing. This is an entertaining game.
• The Random Boost and Leap features are a nice touch
• It´s pretty fast
• The payout on a single number is only 9:1. This essentially funds the big multipliers.
• The running stats only show you the last 12 spins.
• The flip side to the speed of the game is that it is hard to cover board with a high %. Use the Save Favourite Bets feature to speed things up.

Chatty

The croupiers on this game are pretty chatty. Now that can be entertaining (it depends on the individual of course), but just to warn you these guys and gals have the “gift of the gab” (they can talk in other words. You might want to have your volume control ready 😉

Quantum Roulette Strategy

Whatever you do on Quantum Roulette, do it with straight up bets otherwise you are throwing away the whole point of the game. Yes, the single number payout is lower than standard roulette, but only until the multipliers hit in which case you could be in line for a 500x payout.

My plan is always to cover the table at least up to 50% (the equivalent of an even money bet) and hope for a multiplier hit early on. You can always apply a Martingale Strategy for 2 or 3 rounds, although this is more difficult then it would be on a standard table.

So keep your bets low and try and spread your self around.

Summary

I do get the feeling that Quantum Live Roulette is basically a copy of Evolution’s Lightning Roulette except you don’t get the thunder and lightning. You do get those additional multiplier boosts though (Boost and Leap. I wouldn’t use this game to play a strategy, but it did entertain.
