Live Roulette is an interactive gaming show which was launched in June 2005. The programme allows people to place their chips on the roulette table by watching online or on TV and phoning the designated call centre number (shown on screen).
Live Roulette first broadcast under the name Vegas 24/7 on 23 June 2005 on Sky Digital channel 274 and aired between 3pm and 11pm.
The show began as an experiment to see if a gaming show of that type would work on television and soon moved to a new time slot of 6pm-2am in response to feedback from the players. On 25 September 2006 the show added an additional two hour extension from 2am-4am, where the presenter based format was replaced by a focus on the wheel and the numbers being spun. Due to its contract with Virgin1 and Bravo 2, Live Roulette TV has again extended its hours to broadcast until 4am.
The show broadcast on Sky digital channel 274 until 28 February 2006, when it moved from the Entertainment to Gaming & Dating sections of EPG to channel 847, where it remained up to Monday 7 July, when it moved once again due to another Sky EPG reshuffle to its current 866.
The busiest tables so far in the history of Live Roulette TV occurred early in 2008 when it was announced that gross bets on its 'Live Roulette' service hit a new landmark figure of £1m in a single day. During the first three days of April 2008, bets totalled £2.91m, one of which exceeded the £1m threshold.
On Monday, 14 August 2006, Live Roulette launched a new website which made the show fully interactive, with players able to watch and play on-line.
On 8 December 2006, the parent company of Live Roulette , (Vegas 24/7 Broadcasting Ltd.) was acquired by NetPlayTV PLC.
On October 1, the channel of which Live Roulette was broadcasted on was rebranded to Super Casino which encompasses Live Roulette, Live Blackjack and many other casino games.
Autowheel appears on the channel at times when it is not presenter led, it is an air powered wheel that recreates the real wheel situation.
Live Roulette has officially rebranded to SuperCasino in September 2008 featuring their casino side games, as well as Live Blackjack channel.
Per an Ofcom agreement Live Roulette became the first form of gambling to feature on terrestrial TV, with a slot on Channel 5 between 12-4am on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. This caused major divides between politicians that were publicly documented in various mainstream newspapers such as the Daily Mail.
Live Roulette simulcasts on several channels on the Sky, Freesat and Freeview platforms. The names of the channels vary, depending on which platform. It is however, unavailable Virgin Media viewers.
Live Roulette has a team of fully trained and licensed croupiers who present the show and deal the game. Croupiers include, but are not limited to Chris Ditchburn, Natasha Powell, Rob Lamarr, Olivia Hill, Lee Baldry, and Kylie Cushman.
The game of roulette is exactly the same as found in a real casino. Live Roulette uses the single zero European wheel rather than the American double zero version. During most hours, each game is open for two minutes and a new number is spun approximately every three minutes. There are two "turbo hours" each evening at 7pm and 2am where each game is open for one minute, and a new number is spun approximately every two minutes.
Chips are placed on the table by means of either a telephone menu, using the freephone number displayed or via their website where a variety of classic casino games are also available to play.
Originally the betting options were limited to simple plays, such as straights, splits, corners and the outside chances. In response to player feedback, on 18 April 2006 a new menu system was launched which included columns and all the French bets. It also allowed play on zero for the first time, when previously it had been the house number.
Roulette is a fixed odds game, and Live Roulette operates in exactly the same way as a real casino.
You have to be 18 years or older to become a member and play roulette on Live Roulette . Live Roulette is not open to players in Northern Ireland or the Republic of Ireland.
Live Roulette offers a fun free player option. When a new players registers on either the website or on the telephone, they are given the option to play for free with 500 chips which can be used in exactly the same way as real chips. However, they have no monetary value. The free play option is available from the Supercasino website to players all over the world.
A premium player account allows you to take part in the game at any time and place chips, up to a certain house limit, just as you could in a real casino. At present, only players based in the United Kingdom are able to sign up for a premium account.
Being a premium player offers several benefits:-
1) Entry into the 'la partage draw'. This takes place twice each night, at 11pm and midnight. All the VIP members that are playing are put into a hat and a name is drawn out at random. The winner receives half their stake back for bets placed on the even chances every time the ball lands in green zero.
2) Entry in the monthly Grand Prize draw. At the end of each month all premium players who've played that month are entered into the draw, and two names are randomly selected by the computer. The winners are given a weekend break for two.
Live Roulette offers an extra benefit for players who qualify as VIP Players. These are the 120 most loyal premium players. Some of the VIP benefits include:
1) VIP Manager that deals exclusively with VIP players.
2) Entry into exclusive VIP prize draws including most recently an all expenses paid trip to watch Ricky Hatton fight in Las Vegas
3) Tour of the London TV studios and a chance to meet Live Roulette presenters.
4) Bonus money for their continued loyalty.
