SIDE BETS – CAMMEGH Cammegh R


enowned the world over for their roulette wheels, Cammegh have stepped into side bets with great success in recent times. It’s a logical move, given the popularity of their Billboard roulette display, says Andrew


Cammegh: “Making Billboard displays as well as the wheels has allowed us to think about introducing a lot of other features. It might be streaming media content, showing results live from neighbouring tables… The Billboard has a huge power capability and therefore lent itself to creating additional wagers or side bets, and to create added value for the customer and increase excitement for the player. “Over a number of years we looked at how to tackle this


for roulette, and I think now we have the best roulette side bet out there in Spread-Bet Roulette. The performance, graphics capability and processing power has allowed us to use animations to great effect to create a random value that, when added to the game result, gives us a new number between zero and 72; in this case we divide them up into seven different spreads and that allows us to work with the odds, and offer big payouts from even money up to 1,200-1 depending on the desired house edge. It’s been really successful for us.” The innovation does not end there, as the company


realised that Baccarat could be developed in a similar way. Andrew explained: “We then started looking at Baccarat and came up with Spread Bet Baccarat, where the player can bet on the sum of your winning hand. You can win a wager between 1-3, 5-6 and 8-9, missing out 4 and 7 which are deemed unlucky. “Of course, that leads us to Spread Bet Blackjack, where


you can bet on the sum of the first two cards dealt, with a selection of spreads to bet on.” Side bets make Cammegh’s wheels and displays even


more tempting for customers: “The side bets have been great for us and they make the Billboard display an even more essential piece of equipment for the modern casino,” Andrew told Casino International. And they’re not done yet, he added: “We are looking at developing things in the roulette space, which is where we want to take the concept a little bit further; it will all be compatible with the same platform, wheel and display. It’s in development at the moment.” Andrew says the appeal of side bets is very simple: “If


you build it, they will come – if the game is good, people will play it. The players are happy, the operators are happy because they are getting increased house edge, for example, with the side bet. With the Spread-Bet suite of products they have attraction, stickability, people like the concept and it’s very simple; it’s a natural addition to each of the games it runs alongside. “Side bets are a win-win.” As well as the Spread-Bet suite, Cammegh’s side bets also include Lucky Symbols and Double Shot.

” Spread-Bet Roulette


Spread-Bet Roulette transparently generates a bonus number from 0 – 72, enabling high payouts at an increased house edge. Two concentric roulette number rings appear on the


display, spinning in opposing directions. At ‘No More Bets’, both rings stop, randomly aligning the numbers. The winning roulette number then determines which two numbers are added together to make the final Spread-Bet value. Players bet on the spread into which this value falls.


How to Play


Spread-Bets are placed at the beginning of each game alongside (or instead of ) traditional roulette bets. The Billboard Display shows the winning value and spread. Bets are paid out and collected at the end of the game.


Requirements


A Cammegh Billboard (pg. 24) with the appropriate Spread- Bet Roulette software is required, along with a cloth featuring the 7 Spread-Bet spots.


Variants


Spread-Bet Roulette is available with varying odds and house edges.
