PRODUCT : Universal Cabinet with
Gold Ball Roulette MANUFACTURER : Interblock Gaming
Interblock ’ s Universal Cabinets hold a special place in the company ’ s line of luxury products . These personalized gaming machines are the result of Interblock ’ s technological and design progress . In their simplest form , these devices offer a first-class playing experience .
Whether placed in the center of a casino floor or making use of a remote area , Universal Cabinets offer a universal answer to all casino questions . The well-accepted Golden Ball game is now also incorporated into the Universal Cabinet offer . Using the Universal Cabinet Vertical Roulette as a base to introduce a new product to the players , a necessary redesign was done to match the overall look with other Golden Ball products .
The roulette betting layout is the same as with the any other Golden Ball game — the red betting fields are colored gold . The players place their bets on betting fields and / or on the side bet field . The game starts by them pressing one of the physical buttons on the station . This will finish the player ’ s betting time and a mechanical display of the roulette wheel will start spinning in the clockwise direction .
The ball will spin in the opposite direction . When both the ball and the wheel stop , a result will be declared . Since the mechanical display only displays one ball , the golden ball event will randomly be announced by special lights and sounds after bets have been closed ( in the “ no more bets ” stage ). Lights around and inside of the roulette ring as well as the LED armrest will light up in a golden color and a voice will announce the appearance of the golden ball .
Unlike with the electromechanical roulette wheels , where each ball has its spinning time , the UC Golden Ball ’ s game time remains the same as with its predecessor . The RNG , hidden inside the cabinet , grants complete randomness with golden and white ball distributions without interfering with the regular game time .
Due to its design , the Universal Cabinet can be assembled and displayed in a straight line , in a round carousel , or back to back using minimal effort and allowing optimal use of any casino space .
