Published on: January 27, 2012 

Online casino software developers devise methods of making the games go faster. In video poker the concept of multi hand games is very common. Some software developers allow even up to 100 hands with a single click. In table games based on cards like blackjack and casino poker variants, some software developers allow for up to five player hands against the same dealer hand. Multi wheel roulette games are rare. WagerWorks and Microgaming offer one each at their online casinos.

The WagerWorks multi wheel online roulette game is called Three Wheel Roulette. The three wheels containing the numbers are aligned concentrically around the central hub that contains the pockets. Wagering on all three wheels is mandatory. Any bet placed on the layout is automatically tripled. For the purpose of determining payouts one third of the bet is assigned to each wheel. The player clicks the spin button and all three wheels start spinning independently. First the ball drops in one of the pockets in the hub. Then the inner most wheel stops and the number on that wheel corresponding to the ball location is announced. The same process is repeated for the other two wheels. The bets are independently paid out in the usual manner.

WagerWorks Three Wheel Roulette is a simple no frills game. It does not offer many of the features prevalent in the latest roulette variants. If players want to place call bets or race track bets then they have to place the appropriate number of chips on the normal layout, which is a time consuming process. However, WagerWorks Three Wheel Roulette has an optional side bet called Color Up Bonus. It is decided by the combination of numbers on all three wheels. Zero in each of the three wheels pays out at 1000 to 1. Any triplet pays out at 100 to 1, a zero pair pays out at 50 to 1, a straight pays out at 25 to 1, a pair pays out at 5 to 1 and a color match pays out at 1 to 1.

Microgaming Multi Wheel Roulette offers eight wheels. The wheels are not aligned concentrically but are eight independent whole units. Players can choose to wager on any number of wheels from one to eight. The layout for betting is common to all eight wheels and the same bets apply to all the selected wheels. In the nomenclature of Microgaming Multi Wheel roulette the bets placed on the layout is referred to as the wheel bet. The total bet that is the product of the wheel bet and the number of wheels selected by the player. All enabled wheels are spun simultaneously by clicking the spin button. The wheels stop one by one, adding an element of suspense to the game. All bets are settled independently for the number called on each enabled wheel.

Microgaming Multi Wheel Roulette has the features available in latest online roulette variants. The screen display is designed in a manner that facilitates easy viewing, with tabs revealing special features when desired. A tab on the right side reveals the race track pattern where call bets can be placed directly. The Expert tab on the left reveals editing and saving layouts, auto play, cover percent data and enabling quick spin mode.
