SA Gaming is thrilled to announce the launch of Ultra Roulette! It is a thrilling new twist on traditional Roulette! Instead of giving a fixed payout like traditional Roulette offers, Ultra Roulette gives random numbers each round with “Ultra” bonus multipliers!
Ultra Roulette uses a single-zero Roulette, and comes with all available bet options offered in traditional Roulette – Split Bets, Street Bets, Corner Bets, etc. The biggest twist comes when the betting time ends – 1 to 5 random numbers will be assigned with a special multiplier known as an “Ultra” bonus multiplier, ranging from 50x to 1,000x – applied to straight bets only. This is truly a breathtaking experience as the payout is known after the countdown ends, giving unprecedented fun and excitement!
