Slots players at online casinos will be familiar with the Auto Play feature. One of the limitations of this feature is that all throughout the set auto play the bet amount and the number of paylines selected remains the same. Cryptologic, the leading online casino software provider, has introduced an Auto Play feature in its roulette variants that allows players to vary the bet amount. The bet pattern, however, remains the same throughout the Auto Play. This article takes players step by step through the configuring of the Auto Play feature.

The Auto Play feature can be activated by clicking on the tab at the bottom of the screen. The first input, and the most important one is the Bet Type. Players who want to vary the bet amounts should select the option Repeat. This enables the player to create a series of up to 18 wagers that will repeat in sequence. The amounts filled in the given cells will be the multiples of the base bet amount. The sequence will repeat until the set number of spins is complete, a stop condition is met or the player balance runs out. Players who want all the roulette spins to run with the same bet should select the option Fixed.

The remaining sections of the Cryptologic Auto Play feature in online roulette are independent of the choice of bet type. In the second section the most important item is the number of auto spins, because this is what auto play is about. Players can enter up to 999 in the cell. Some players would not like to continue with the auto play if certain win or loss conditions are met. If they have to sit in front of the screen keeping track of these conditions then the purpose of the auto play is defeated. Cryptologic allows players to enable three stop conditions in the online roulette Auto Play feature. The Auto Play can be stopped after a single win of a specified amount, after the total win reaches a specified amount and after the total loss reaches a specified amount. Players need to enable the desired conditions and enter the amount in the cell.

The final section of the Auto Play allows players to select the bet pattern. As mentioned before, this will remain fixed for the entire auto play. Cryptologic roulette variants allow players to save bet patterns. For this players have to create the bet pattern on the layout in the screen in the usual manner. Then they have to click on the Save Bet Layout tab. There they have to enter a name for the pattern and click Save. In the Auto Play feature, Cryptologic online casino players can then select any of the saved bet patterns from a drop down list. They can also create a custom pattern on the mini layout displayed within the Auto Play box. If this pattern is for a onetime use, then the players can proceed without saving it. It is preferred that the players save the pattern and add it to the list.

Once all the parameters are entered in the Auto Play set up box, players can activate the Auto Play by clicking on the Start Auto Play Tab. Once activated, the Auto Play feature displays a red button. Players can use this to stop the auto play any time they want.
