Game Details

The main game has a live dealer and the European Roulette single zero wheel. You can place Inside and Outside bets as you would in a regular Roulette game, along with special bets using the race track.

The live dealer spins the wheel to get the winning number. The wheel is spun clockwise and anti-clockwise alternatively.

Behind the wheel is a blue screen displaying the bonus round numbers. You must win a bet on those numbers to qualify for the bonus games or at least earn a 100x multiplier.

Type of Bets

You can place bets manually or by selecting Auto-Play, which lets you decide your bet size and the number of spins. The minimum bet is £.20, while the maximum is £500.

The Bet Creator tab on the left side below the wheel lets you set different betting patterns while offline. And the Lucky Dip option next to it can help pick random numbers for you on the betting grid.

To become a millionaire playing this game, you must place Inside bets: Straight Up, Split, Street, Corner, Basket, and Line bet. The bonus numbers displayed at the beginning of the game only include Inside bet numbers.

However, you must remember that the Inside bets payouts are much lesser than the standard European Roulette Inside bets. You can earn more if you win a bet on a bonus number. You’ll earn multipliers on winning regular bets too, but you’ll need to apply a strategy or two to have better chances.

Outside bets are available too. However, these do not qualify for the millionaire bonus games. The best part, though, is that the Outside bets’ payouts are similar to those of standard Roulette. They are not reduced.

The two tables below show the Inside and Outside Bets types and their payouts based on how many numbers are covered with a single bet.

Inside Bets	Number of Wheel Segments Covered	Payout
Straight Up	1	29:1 = full multiplier
Split	2	14:1 = Half of the multiplier
Street	3	9:1 = 1/3rd of the multiplier
Corner	4	6.5:1 = 1/4th of the multiplier
Basket	3	6.5:1 = 1/4th of the multiplier
Line	6	4:1 = 1/6th of the multiplier

Outside Bets	Number of Wheel Segments Covered	Payouts
Odd/Even	18	1:1
Red/Black	18	1:1
High/Low	18	1:1
Dozen	12	2:1
Column	12	2:1

You can also place special bets using French Roulette’s Race Track wagering options like Neighbors and Orphelins, which can cover many numbers with a single bet.

Who Wants to be a Millionaire Bonus Games

After the betting round is over and before the live dealer spins the Roulette wheel, 1 to 10 bonus numbers are generated and displayed on the screen using RNG. These are marked on the Inside bets’ betting grid.

Five bonus games are divided into three main categories in Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? Live Roulette. The Millionaire bonus game numbers on the screen could look like this:

A Millionaire Logo

The Millionaire logo stands for a millionaire bonus game that has eight to ten question rounds depending on the logo’s colour:

• Bronze Millionaire Logo: This bonus game has eight game rounds wherein you can get a chance to win a max of 750x multiplier.
• Gold Multiplier Logo: This bonus game has ten game rounds, and you could win a max of 2000x if luck is by your side.

A big multiplier is shown on the question screen, and you must guess one answer tab out of the four: A, B, C, or D, with this multiplier. The first five rounds in the coloured Millionaire logo games guarantee a multiplier. Even if you choose the wrong answer tab, you earn the lower multiplier assigned to this answer tab.

In the later rounds, if you land on an X symbol, the game ends, or you could get lucky and win higher multipliers by playing till the last round. All the multipliers earned are added together and multiplied with your bet.

Like the TV game show, you can use three lifelines here:

• Ask the Host: The host will try to make your guessing work easier by removing one incorrect answer tab with the lowest multiplier.
• 50-50: Two incorrect answer tabs will be removed from your screen.
• Ask the Audience: The virtual audience is made to pick the answer. The answer with the highest vote gets selected.

100x Multiplier

This is the most straightforward bonus in this game. When you win a 100x bonus number bet, you directly earn the 100x multiplier that gets applied to your bet.

Pink & Blue Question Marks

There are two coloured types of question marks representing certain bonus game numbers. One is pink and the other blue. The multipliers assigned to these are 50x and 100x.

You have two options when you win a question mark number bonus bet. You could take the 50x or 100x multipliers and continue with the main game, or you could choose to play the Millionaire bonus game.

The Millionaire bonus game has five rounds, three of which guarantee you some multipliers like the coloured Millionaire logo bonus game explained above. In the later rounds, the game ends if you land on an X. You get three lifelines here too.

The maximum you could win in a bonus game instead of taking the multiplier is:

• 150x in place of the 50x multiplier
• 300x in place of the 100x multiplier

Game Review Summary

Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? Live Roulette is an engaging game requiring you to make decisions for the main game and most bonus rounds. Only the 100x bonus number bet lets you take the multiplier without answering any questions.

The use of the Roulette wheel takes this game show to another level. You can place many types of bets here depending on what you wish to win. If you aim to win the Millionaire number bets, you must play Inside bets. But if you want to play a more low-risk game for fun, placing Outside bets would do.

The game’s RTP of 97.29% almost matches that of European Roulette. If not the highest multiplier, you can win some or the other multiplier in the bonus rounds. Just keep in mind that in the main game bets, you could lose more if you do not win a bet, as there is no minimum guarantee here.

The French Roulette race track also comes in handy when placing a single bet covering many numbers. However, the more numbers a bet covers, the lesser the payout, and vice versa. So your strategy will determine how you approach the game.

There’s no other game like this one in Playtech’s catalogue, but it’s a branded title like their other live game show, Adventures Beyond Wonderland. You can also try Deal or No Deal Live by Evolution, which, like this game, largely replicates the original TV show.
