Common Draw Roulette, developed by Betsoft, redefines traditional roulette by merging classic gameplay with modern technology. This multiplayer variant accommodates an unlimited number of players, fostering a social atmosphere akin to land-based casinos.
Game Mechanics
Common Draw Roulette utilizes a standard European roulette wheel with 37 pockets: 36 numbered slots (1-36) in alternating red and black, plus a single green zero. The absence of a double zero pocket, typical in American roulette, lowers the house edge, making it a more player-friendly option. Designed for desktop play, the game showcases Betsoft's high-quality graphics, ensuring an engaging visual experience.
Players place bets on a clearly marked felt layout, which enhances navigation and decision-making. A countdown timer allows approximately 20 seconds for players to place their bets before the dealer spins the wheel. After the ball lands, the dealer announces the winning number and color, with payouts made according to the established payout structure.
Bet Types
Common Draw Roulette offers nine distinct betting options, divided into inside and outside bets, each with specific payout odds:
1. Inside Bets: These bets target specific numbers or small groups, offering higher payouts but lower odds of winning.
- Straight Up Bet: A bet on a single number, paying 35:1.
- Split Bet: Covers two adjacent numbers, with a payout of 17:1.
- Street Bet: A bet on three consecutive numbers in a row, paying 11:1.
- Corner Bet: Covers four numbers that meet at a corner, with a payout of 8:1.
- Line Bet: Covers six numbers in two adjacent rows, paying 5:1.
2. Outside Bets: These bets encompass larger groups of numbers, providing better odds of winning but lower payouts.
- Dozen Bet: A bet on one of three groups of twelve numbers, paying 2:1.
- Column Bet: A bet on one of the three vertical columns of numbers, also paying 2:1.
- Red/Black, Odd/Even, High/Low: These bets cover half the numbers on the wheel (excluding zero) and pay 1:1.
Player Experience
The gameplay pace in Common Draw Roulette is slightly slower than in some electronic versions, allowing for anticipation as the ball settles in a pocket. Players can track their betting patterns through a statistics feature that displays the last 15 spin results, aiding in identifying hot and cold numbers. This feature is particularly beneficial for players who employ betting strategies based on previous outcomes.
Additionally, the game includes a social element, enabling player interaction through a chat feature, which enhances the overall gaming experience. While this variant does not offer progressive jackpots, the potential for significant payouts remains, especially with the diverse betting options and the possibility of multipliers in other Betsoft roulette games.
