Just when it appeared as though online roulette games couldn't evolve any further, the past year has seen a
different genre of the game become hugely popular. These variants are hybrids of both Random-Number-Generator (RNG) roulette titles and real dealer games,
bringing the best of both to provide a unique experience. We’ve explored the perks of these games in this article.
The Evolution of Online Roulette
When online casinos emerged in 1995, online roulette was one of the
first game types to be released. While the earliest RNG versions included simplistic graphics and sound effects, they quickly evolved to offer atmospheric
sound effects and realistic visuals to replicate the land-based experience.
In 2017, live dealer casino games hit the mainstream and offered a chance to
play roulette against live croupiers in real-time. Paddy Power's roulette library is now well-stocked
with countless variations of these games, with some titles offering exotic game settings and enhanced payout mechanisms. However, with some players still
favouring the RNG experience, game developers found a new way to bridge these experiences.

In 2019, popular live dealer games developer Evolution released an RNG version of its popular Lightning Roulette
game. Under the "First-Person" banner, the game included real footage of live dealers and a 3D-animated table to simulate the live experience for players who
were averse to these types of games.
Since then, the company has released several more adaptations of its live games using this hybrid format, several
of which have won prestigious Global Gaming Awards. The games have been
extremely popular, and the approach has since been replicated by other major developers. It's clear, now, that the game type has become a standard fixture in
online casino game catalogues.
The Perks of Hybrid Roulette Play
One of the
biggest benefits of hybrid roulette games is that there are no time constraints on betting. As real dealer games usually include rooms with several other
players, dealers must keep the action moving with timed betting rounds. In hybrid RNG games, players can take the time to consider their bets and budget
management.
The hybrid games are also less demanding on data use, making them ideal for remote players. Depending on the resolution of streams, live
dealer games can consume up to 3 GB of data per hour, while RNG games consume as little as 100 MB per hour once the game is loaded.
In addition to
these perks, these games still offer life-like visuals that replicate the land-based casino experience, which is one of the biggest advantages of live dealer
play. The popularity of live dealer games was recently highlighted at the G2E Vegas Expo in October, with several exciting releases in the hybrid
format set to debut in 2025.
The Future of Hybrid Roulette Games
Online
gamblers have never had so many options when it comes to online roulette games. The hybrid live-RNG format represents a great choice for players who want the
immersive experience of live play with the pace and data conservation of RNG titles. |
