If one thought that nothing ingenious could be done with roulette then one underestimated the innovativeness of gaming software providers. Playtech has just launched an online roulette variant in which the game has been hybridized with its most potent brand – the Marvel Movie superheroes. This game is appropriately titled Marvel Roulette. The wheel has the numbers 1 to 36 and 0. But it also has the special Marvel Bonus bet position. All bets possible in online roulette are available in Marvel Roulette, including racetrack bets. The standard roulette payouts apply. What are different are the two Marvel features.
The first new feature in Playtech Marvel Roulette is the Marvel Bonus. It is activated when players place a bet on the Marvel Bonus position and the ball comes to rest on that position. The Marvel Bonus round is a three-reel slot game that uses the bet that was placed on the Marvel position in the main game. The aim of the Marvel Bonus round is to get three identical Marvel symbols by spinning the reels. The player gets three free spins. The eight super heroes used for the symbols are taken from the Playtech Marvel Movie online slots and include Spiderman, The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, X-Men, Fantastic Four, Thor the Mighty Avenger, Captain America and Ghost Rider. The payout table is displayed above the reels. The payouts range from 4 to 1 to 99 to 1. Once players enter the bonus round they are guaranteed a win.
The Marvel Mystery Jackpot is the same multi-level progressive jackpot game that is available in all Marvel online slot games. It functions in the same way. It can be triggered randomly after any spin of the roulette wheel, even if there is no payout in that spin. A bet of any size can trigger the Marvel Mystery Jackpot game. However, the chances of triggering the Jackpot game vary proportionally to the bet size. Once the Jackpot game is triggered the player is assured of winning one of the four progressive jackpots. The Power Jackpot resets at €50, the Extra Power Jackpot resets at €500, the Super Power Jackpot resets at €5,000 and the Ultimate Power Jackpot resets at €100,000.
There are some interesting features in the main online Playtech Marvel Roulette game as well that need to be highlighted. Players can toggle the spin direction of the roulette wheel between clockwise and counter-clockwise by clicking the Direction button. Up to four sets of bets can be saved as favorites and then placed on the roulette layout with just one click of a button. Comprehensive history and statistics features are available. Two modes of auto play, simple and advanced, have been incorporated. In the simple mode players just select the number of rounds to play. In the advanced mode players can set stop conditions.
