Ra Roulette
Ra Roulette is also occasionally referred to as the Book of Ra Roulette and is a product of Extreme Live Gaming. When the Novomatic Group acquired Extreme Live Gaming, multiple live game versions of the most popular Novamatic slot games were devised and conceived, among which is the Book of Ra slot, which then made its way into the live Roulette scene.
Ra Roulette follows the rules of the European version of the game and is largely unique in having a nifty side bet option. In effect, this Roulette variant combines standard Roulette play with icons and elements of online slots, as it has a single reel slot where players can get lucky.
All About Ra Roulette
As previously mentioned, European Roulette rules are adhered to in this game. Therefore, bettors can make the split, straight-up bets, line, street, corner, dozen, column, neighbour bets and even-chance bets. The payout ratios are as expected and straight up bets pay 35 to 1.
The game is unique in that there is a one-reel slot shown at the right part of the screen. There, bettors can optionally lay bets on some of the icons featured in the Book of Ra slots online. Each of the featured icons come with their own house edge, with the probability of hitting them varying accordingly.
A total of 7 icons are featured in the slot mini-game. The chances that the K and Q icons will be hit is 3:1 and 1:1 respectively, with the payouts being set at 12.40% and 10.16% respectively.
The probability that the game logo will be hit is set at 4.54%, with the chances set at 18:1 and the house edge pegged at 13.72%. As for the primary icon, the hit probability is 1.10%, hitting chances are 80:1 and the house edge is set at 11.01%.
The Gameplay
Gameplay here is a breeze. 20 seconds are all that is allowed to decide on and place bets and the multiple cameras in place are capable of showing the spinning Roulette wheel in X mode for easier and more convenient viewing.
The action is, of course, streamed straight from a lavishly appointed studio, with professional and well-attired dealers overseeing the whole thing. To make for easier betting special bet tools are available and can prove vital when making bets during the last few seconds before the betting window closes.
Final Thoughts
The Ra Roulette is an imaginative coupling of a slot game with fast-paced Roulette action. It really appears to have something for everyone, and since making use of the mini-slot game is totally optional, players can just ignore it and focus on enjoying the most fast-paced and action-crammed European version of Roulette on the globe! Overall, this has lots of charm and can make a long day appear to race past.
