Are you tired of the same old game of roulette? If so, try out Pinball Roulette from major software developer Playtech. Pinball Roulette is exactly what you think it would be, the best parts of roulette and pinball combined into one addicting game.

Pinball Roulette uses a pinball machine to generate a random number using the same type of RNG (Random Number Generator) that Playtech uses on its other casino games. In other words, you can trust it is a fair game. The roulette layout is the same. The bets offered are the same, including neighbor bets. After placing a wager and clicking the “Bet” button, the roulette layout shrinks from the entire screen to the right column and a pinball machine fills in the main area. The ball shoots up and into the playing area filled with bumpers just like a real pinball machine. There is a grid of pegs in the middle to slow the ball on its way down. It almost looks like a pinball version of Plinko (all you Price Is Right fans know what I’m talking about). Some bumpers are passive that deflect the ball in its downward path. Some bumpers are active that push the ball away in a completely different direction. You get the same kind of random movement you would expect from a pinball game. The ball eventually falls into a pocket with the numbers of the roulette layout. Here’s the kicker. The bottom strip containing the pockets is not stationary. It moves along the bottom, so the positions of the numbers constantly change. The number of the pocket where the ball falls is the winner and all appropriate bets are paid out.

Similar to slot games, Pinball Roulette has a bonus game for an extra gamble. It is optional on a win. The bonus game is played on a different pinball machine. The playing area has different colors than the previous one and the bumpers are marked with multipliers. If the ball hits a bumper, the player’s payout is multiplied. The maximum multiplier is 5x, but a player can get a bonus ball, making up to 10 times the amount on the previous win. If the player loses, the payout won on the main game is lost. The bonus game is not for the faint-hearted so tread lightly, my friend.

If you are familiar with Playtech roulette games, you will see some common features. The “Turbo Bet” button eliminates the animation of the ball falling and goes straight to the final result. But, the whole point of Pinball Roulette is to enjoy the pinball machine feature, so this option isn’t used very much with the game. There is also an “Auto Bet” feature that allows for 1, 2, 5, or 10 consecutive rounds playing the same bet. Sounds pretty cool, right? You can play Pinball Roulette at all Playtech online casinos using the Flash no-download version of the casino.
