Arrow's Edge Roulette

Live dealer games marketed under Arrow’s Edge brand are in fact powered by Vivo Gaming and the latter features only European Roulette. That’s not necessarily bad thanks to a much lower house edge, but it may be considered a disadvantage by US players eager to play the American variant out of sheer patriotism. Game rules, bets types and payouts are typical of the standard game. Arrow’s Edge lobby displays an overview of available tables, each with a list of the previous 20 results.

Clicking on any of them displays available table limits, usually Standard and VIP ranging between $1 and $500. Spanish and Turkish-speaking players get to communicate with a croupier talking the same language while others will have to make do with an English-speaking dealer.

On top of tables located at the developer’s studios, you’ll also see games streamed out of Portomaso and Oracle brick-and-mortar casino and watch casino patrons place their chips on the physical table and collect their winnings if lucky. It really makes one feel as if magically transported into a land-based venue and greatly increases the authenticity of the experience.

User Experience

Video feed occupies most of the screen, with betting controls placed immediately below. Camera views change automatically, zooming in on the wheel as soon as it starts spinning. Wagers are placed via a traditional, computer-generated betting table which one can view in 2D or 3D, or a racetrack positioned in the bottom right corner. There’s also an option to save favorite bets and then easily reapply them later on, as well as betting shortcuts for removing a bet, undoing the last one and re-betting. One can use buttons in the upper right corner to view limits for various kinds of bets, read game rules and choose one of 20+ interface languages. There is an overview of previous results as well as statistics of hot and cold numbers. Live Chat box is always available, though when playing a game streamed out of a land-based casino, the dealer isn’t able to communicate with online players.

Overall Thoughts

As far as European Roulette goes, there’s not much difference between games offered by Arrow’s Edge and any other live gaming provider. Vivo’s products are average in terms of broadcasting quality and quite basic when it comes to in-game options, though the latter may appeal to players that appreciate simplicity. There are no tools for manipulating video quality or audio other than an option to switch the sound on and off. On the other hand, games offered by Arrow’s Edge provide a pretty unique opportunity to play with fun credits as well as real cash.
