Spintec and Blueprint Operations have announced a strategic partnership to launch the first-ever fully certified automated mechanical roulette designed specifically for the UK’s B3 gaming market. The groundbreaking product is making its public debut at the EAG Expo 2026 (January 13–15) at ExCeL London.
While virtual roulette has been a staple in Adult Gaming Centres (AGCs) and bingo halls for years, this collaboration introduces a physical wheel into the B3 category for the first time, bridging the gap between high-street gaming and authentic casino energy.
Authentic Casino Energy for the B3 Market
The new product is engineered to replicate the fast-paced “pacing and flow” that players expect from virtual machines, but with the tactile appeal of a real mechanical wheel.
Key Product Features:
-
Mechanical Precision: Powered by a real automated wheel rather than an RNG-based digital animation.
-
Optimized Pacing: Designed for “quick cycles” and high-frequency play, maintaining the intuitive pre-game spinner found in popular B3/B4 virtual titles.
-
Proven Reliability: Already successfully deployed in 12 pilot installations across the UK, demonstrating immediate player traction.
-
Hotspot Roulette: An optional “thrill-mode” featuring random bet multipliers (up to 900x) that provides high-intensity engagement at a lower RTP, offering an attractive yield for operators.
“Partnering with Spintec has let us create something genuinely exciting — a product that brings real casino energy into AGCs,” said Nadia Timofeev, Director of Operations at Blueprint Operations. “The roadmap ahead is packed with even more developments, and I can’t wait for what’s coming next.”
Strategic Expansion in the UK
The partnership leverages Blueprint’s deep distribution network in the UK and Spintec’s global expertise in Electronic Table Games (ETGs). Beyond the B3 market, Spintec is aggressively expanding its presence in full-scale UK casinos.
Current UK Footprint:
-
B3 Segment: 12 initial mechanical roulette installations now live.
-
Casino Sector: Large-scale ETG installations recently launched in Aberdeen and Milton Keynes.
-
Distribution: Exclusive long-term agreement with Blueprint Operations for the AGC and bingo sectors.
Erik Pegan, Product Manager at Spintec, noted: “In the UK B3 sector, players had long experienced virtual roulette, but no one had ever delivered a mechanical alternative that met the same expectations for pace, engagement, and reliability. We took advantage of that gap.”
