Real Money Mobile Roulette

Real money mobile roulette games are smartphone and table-compatible casino table games that accept real-money wagers.

Roulette is one of the oldest casino games still played all around the world. The Devil’s Wheel has been a hit since the heyday of Monte Carlo casinos, and it has successfully transitioned from brick and mortar venues onto Web-based software platforms.

Why would someone want to play a game like roulette on their smartphone or tablet? A few reasons come to mind: interest in testing out new technology, the ubiquity of mobile gadgets, and a desire to gamble without easy access to a land-based casino are all legitimate ones. I think the most powerful force driving people to mobile casinos is plain old convenience.

Of course, there’s the obvious convenience of being able to play from just about anywhere. But other factors make the game more convenient – for instance, many mobile-capable gaming sites these days operate in an instant-play format. That means no need to make room on your Android tablet for a software .

Also convenient is the fact that many mobile betting services allow you to perform functions directly from your browser. You may never need to to your mobile-capable casino’s desktop site.

Mobile Roulette Games

“How good can a roulette game displayed on a tiny smartphone screen be? “

“Isn’t the game ugly?”

“Don’t all mobile games lag?”

I know you have questions like this. And it makes sense to me. How can the familiar roulette wheel and betting table, one of the biggest on the casino floor, be adjusted to fit a tiny tablet or smartphone display?

Thanks to the ingenuity of mobile casino game designers, you can play today’s mobile-capable table games without even thinking about the relatively small size of your display. The games are purpose-built by companies that have been in the gaming business for years.

The best mobile roulette designs don’t use the size of the display as a handicap – they build the best game they can under the circumstances. Unfortunately, not all mobile table games are created equal. I’ll be the first to it that some games simply look and perform better than others.

Since different casino software designers produce different quality games, you pretty much have to play them all a little bit to find out how you personally feel about them. Until you can do that, check out these details about the roulette games produced by the five most popular mobile software designers.

Realtime Gaming Mobile Roulette – I’m not a huge fan of RTG’s software, particularly their lackluster table game efforts. I’ve included Realtime Gaming on this list because their games are so prominent in the industry.

Their roulette options are on the boring side, offering a standard American game at most sites, with the occasional inclusion of a Euro rules wheel. It’s not RTG’s fault that the mobile casinos that license their games don’t like to host the European-rules version, but it should still be mentioned.

Rival Mobile Roulette – I really enjoy Rival’s mobile table games, even if they’re difficult to find. They’re a relatively new design firm, opening in 2004 but not producing a lot of games until the last five years or so. They’re apparently particularly good at translating casino games to mobile format – I say that because their roulette games (available in both single-zero and double-zero versions at all Rival-powered mobile sites) are among the best-looking on this list.

If looks aren’t important to you, that’s fine. I tend to play roulette online for an hour or so at a time, and it gets difficult to look at an ugly game for even that long. Though it’s rare, I’m always happy to see a new mobile site hosting Rival-produced table games. I hope more people give them a shot.

NetEntertainment Mobile Roulette – NetEnt is a Swedish company that develops games for both traditional online and mobile venues. They’ve been in the business since 1997. Their roulette options are currently limited to either Euro or American rules, though that’s something of an industry standard.

There’s just not that much variation in the game’s rules. Still, NetEnt’s roulette titles are good-looking, with sharp graphics and fast gameplay, assuming you have a decent Internet connection.

Playtech Mobile Roulette – A major player in the online gambling industry, Playtech develops games for mobile and Web-based sites and has worked in the social gaming and land-based gaming industries as well. They’ve also got their hands in the head-to-head poker, online sports betting, and Web-based bingo fields.

Playtech’s best-known mobile games are no doubt their licensed slots, with themes based on TV shows and movies. Think along the lines of Rocky, the Pink Panther, and Marvel comics. As far as their roulette options for mobile customers, Playtech’s options are exciting. They have one of the only mobile-accessible French rules games I’ve ever seen, and some Playtech-powered mobile casinos host Playtech’s 3D roulette, which is a cool-looking single zero game that I’ve always had fun playing.

BetSoft Mobile Roulette – One of my personal favorite game designers, when a site owns a license to host BetSoft titles, I get excited. Some of their best-known titles are slots, particularly Under the Bed, Three Wishes, and Slotfather.

BetSoft’s biggest weakness, for fans of roulette, is variety. The company’s mobile operations are almost exclusively focused on slots, 3D slots in particular. So what does BetSoft have to offer a fan of roulette?

At the time of this writing, BetSoft has both American and European-style games available to a handful of mobile gaming venues. BetSoft earned a spot on this list because I just genuinely like playing their games. They could improve their services for fans of table games by including a French rules roulette game, or some other version to push the envelope a little.
