Diamond Bet Roulette

Diamond Roulette is a premium Playtech game with an extra side bet which can spice things up a bit. This is essentially European Roulette with an extra well on the wheel. If you make a Diamond side bet, you can potentially win up to 100x your bet.

This is one of a range of more exotic games from Playtech- they also produce a 101 roulette game which has 100 numbered pockets and mini roulette.

Bear in mind, that you are effectively playing the same odds as American Roulette on the standard bets. Although there is only one zero, the Diamond bet pocket takes the same space as a double zero pocket would on an American wheel.

The pay-out could be higher, of course, depending on where the outer wheel stops when you spin the wheel (up to 100x your bet)- see below for full details.

However, if you are looking for the most favourable house edge, we’d recommend 3D European Roulette from Iron Dog which plays La Partage. That means the house edge is reduced to 1.35% on the even money bets.

How to Play Diamond Bet Roulette

When the game loads up, select your table limit and hit join. The wheel sits on a nicely designed table that works well on both mobile and desktop sized screens.

You an play this variant at Mansion casino which accepts Bitcoin roulette bets as well as PayPal, Neteller and credit cards.

Diamond Bet Roulette is European Roulette with an extra side bet. So you have one zero pocket with all of the usual roulette bets like the even money bets and Inside Bets such as Split Bets, Vorner Bets and so on, PLUS an extra pocket called the Diamond Pocket.

The Diamond Pocket

If you make this side bet, you will open up bigger pay-offs if you can get the ball to land in the yellow diamond pocket.

Diamond Roulette has different win multipliers: x15, x20, x25, x30, x35, x40, x45, x50, x60 and Jackpot (x100).

When you make a bet on the Diamond pocket, and the ball lands in that pocket, a randomly selected multiplier on the outer wheel will be applied to your bet on Diamond.

So, you have two concentric wheels spinning on any given play. The outer wheel automatically selects a multiplier at random. If you win a Diamond Bet with a multiplier of x100, you will see a pop-up message telling you that you’ve bagged the jackpot.

The “Spins Since Diamond” area on the table will indicate how many spins have been played since the last Diamond win.

Pros and Cons

Neighbour Bets, Auto-Play, Double-Up and More

This is a pretty powerful roulette game when you look under the bonnet. You can switch between the standard betting area and a race-track betting area with Call Bets like Neighbours, Tiers and Voisins.

Plus when you bet, you’ll have an option to double and spin- a feature that Martingale players will like.

Hold the Spin button down for Auto-Play options and hit the cog icon and head into settings to bring up other options like Turbo Mode.

Summary

This is a slick virtual roulette game from Playtech that works on mobiles, tablets and desktops. The Diamond Bet can be a fun little side bet to add in- we’d recommend betting a smaller percentage of your total bet that you would on the standard bets.

We treat the bet as a kind of hedge which can pay out nicely if the ball drops into the Diamond Pocket.

Just remember that the house edge is similar to American Roulette if you do not play the diamond bet as you have 2 pockets on the wheel that are not coloured red or black- even if only one of them is a zero.

It’s worth a spin.
