Double Ball Roulette Demo Mode of Popular Pokie in New Zealand
Welcome to the thrilling world of Double Ball Roulette, an exciting live dealer game found exclusively at Boo Casino. Experience the action of not one but two balls spinning around the Roulette wheel, doubling your chances to win big.
History of the Game
The origins of Double Ball Roulette are unclear, but it first started appearing in land-based American casinos in the 1990s. The concept of using two balls instead of one ball was pioneered by the Las Vegas-based Sigma Gaming corporation. Their aim was to create a unique and patented Roulette variant for deployment across US casinos. Double Ball Roulette proved immediately popular with American players due to its faster pace of play and heightened suspense compared to traditional games of this type. While Double Ball Roulette initially spread across American brick and mortar casinos in the 90s, it only recently started being offered by live dealer online casinos. Improvements in live-streaming technology finally made it feasible to broadcast the complex Double Ball Roulette wheel online in real-time.
Game Rules and Mechanics
Double Ball Roulette follows the same basic rules and procedures as classic single ball Roulette. The key difference is the addition of a second ball to the wheel that spins independently of the first one. To play a round, players place their chips on the desired bets on the virtual betting layout. Bets include inside bets (specific numbers or number groups) and outside bets (red/black, odd/even). The live dealer then spins the wheel and launches two balls in opposite directions. Players watch anxiously as the two balls bounce around the wheel pockets until both come to rest in two random and winning number slots.
All placed bets pertaining to either of the two winning numbers are paid out according to the standard Roulette payouts. If a player bets on a number that comes up as one of the two winning numbers, they win a 35:1 payout on their bet. The two winning numbers create two opportunities for players to win for every spin. After paying out winners, the dealer collects losing bets and the next round begins. Players can place new bets as the wheel spins again. This creates an exciting and fast-paced live gambling experience.
