A new take on roulette was recently unveiled at Golden Gate casino, downtown, called Riverboat Roulette. We’re pleased to say we were momentarily able to divert our eyes away from the go-go dealers to give it a whirl.<\/p>\n

\"Riverboat<\/a>
Let’s gamble and stuff.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This “new” version of roulette isn’t exactly revolutionary, as the basics of the game remain intact. Riverboat Roulette does provide some interesting new side bets, as well as an eye-catching layout (above) and tricked-out ball “pockets.”<\/p>\n

\"Riverboat<\/a>
Behold, the first overtly LGBT-friendly roulette wheel in Las Vegas.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We were the first-ever customer to make a bet on the live game at Golden Gate (where it’s available exclusively), so from here on out, please treat us with the respect we so richly deserve.<\/p>\n

Riverboat Roulette made its first appearance at the 2012 Global Gaming Expo and was named one of the “Top New Table Games of 2013” by Casino Journal. No, really, they didn’t just make that up<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So, here’s the deal.<\/p>\n

Beyond the basic game of roulette, Riverboat Roulette offers color-coded side bets that pay varying amounts based upon the color. Bet blue, if blue hits, you win. Same with the other colors, except for white. If you bet on a color other than white, and white hits, you lose your bet. There are eight white spaces.<\/p>\n

\"Riverboat<\/a>
We’d do the math, but you know, Captain Morgan.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

But here’s the cool part. If you bet blue and teal hits, your bet doesn’t go anywhere, it’s a “push.” That’s what makes this a “multi-spin” game. If you hit another color, other than blue, the bet keeps going. That cycle continues until you hit your color (win!) or white (not so much!).<\/p>\n

\"Riverboat<\/a>
People with too much time on their hands will note there’s no chip under the marker. It was a re-enactment.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When you bet on white, it’s a one-spin bet. Any other color sends your bet home crying to its mommy.<\/p>\n

\"Riverboat<\/a>
We’re 99% sure you’ll never need to know this unless you get a much better job.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The payouts are as follows: Blue and orange pay 7-to-5, purple and pink pay 8-to-5, teal and yellow pay 2-to-1. White pays 7-to-2.<\/p>\n

We’d love to get into the nitty-gritty of these payouts and house edges, but we have things to do, so we’ll just say, “The odds aren’t particularly in your favor.” Then again, you know, casino.<\/p>\n

\"Riverboat<\/a>
We just like to blur backgrounds sometimes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Other than that, Riverboat Roulette adds a little flair to a classic game, and while we didn’t have much success, we suggest you give it a try because it’s at Golden Gate, and the Golden Gate is the best thing since sliced bread, although if you think about it, sliced bread doesn’t provide epic free cocktails and eye candy. So, suck it, sliced bread.<\/p>\n
