AR Gambling Roulette 360 from Extreme Live Gaming

Extreme Gaming introduces Augmented Reality Live Roulette 360

For the last few years, the iGaming industry has claimed virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) are the upcoming wave of the future for online casinos. Well, my friends, the future is now. Live casino studio producers at Extreme Live Gaming are launching Roulette 360, an AR gambling game for desktop, mobile and VR headsets.

This is by no means the inaugural presentation of AR/VR gambling technology. Microgaming debuted its immersive VR Roulette back in 2015, followed by NetEnt‘s Live Beyond Live AR casino games earlier this year. However, Extreme Live Gaming is the first to incorporate VR headset compatibility into its new live roulette game.

Augmented Reality Live Roulette 360

According to last week’s press release, Extreme Live Gaming, a subsidiary of the Novomatic Group, merged AR and HTML5 technology to create Roulette 360. That combination of programming allows players to access the new AR gambling game from any operating system, on virtually any desktop, smartphone, or tablet (with Flash installed). For a wholly immersive experience, it is recommended to utilize a mobile device and VR headset combination.

The company refers to its new Live Roulette 360 as “a virtual multi-gaming experience like no other”. The game provides players with an opportunity to observe a 360-degree view of the casino, placing bets on multiple tables at once.

Some of its shining features include:

Standard European Roulette rules
Fully immersive 360-degree environment
Desktop, mobile and VR headset compatibility
Multi-gaming functionality while playing roulette (on desktop version)
Fully interactive environment
All languages available
All currencies available
Customization of table limits (for operators)
Customization of environment (for operators, perfect for product branding)

AR Gambling Game Debuts at ICE 2018

Extreme Live Gaming CEO Darwyn Palenzuala showed off Roulette 360’s capabilities at the 2018 ICE Totally Gaming expo in London earlier this year. He was especially proud to introduce their AR gambling product as “the first out there that allows a player to take full control of their environment, move it around, and get a feel of the roulette game”.

Palenzuela believes the biggest draw of the 360 interface is brandable customization. “You can also link in other games,” he explains. Every position within the navigable area can be another live table game, or even a slot machine or video poker interface. “We can launch any slots game within the game, so it allows you to play roulette, plus any other side games,” says Palenzuela.

With a VR headset, the player can simply move their head to view the 360-degree atmosphere of the AR gambling environment. Using any touch-screen computer or mobile device, players can swipe the screen to change their view, also with 360-degree range of motion.

“We’ll be extending this soon to the full 360 studio environment,” Palenzuela says. “It won’t be just roulette. It will be blackjack and baccarat and other table games.”

Following its initial debut at 2018 ICE, the new augmented reality live Roulette 360 officially launched on March 26, 2018. There’s no word yet on which casino operators have shown interest in licensing the live studio platform. We hope to provide more information on that as it becomes available.
