Review and Analysis: Roulette Aurum / Creedroomz

If the word seems both familiar and unfamiliar, there’s good reason: ‘aurum’ means ‘gold’ in Latin. It’s a clever bit of naming from a relative newcomer to the game design scene.

That would be Creedroomz. Though this firm officially made its debut in 2021, plenty of gamblers will know their sister company much better: the software giant BetConstruct. Simultaneously a blue chip firm and somewhat of a mover-and-shaker, they seem to be constantly making news and unveiling new innovations.

In this way, it’s a bit of a canard to call Creedroomz a brand new face on the gaming scene. Still, when a relatively unknown brand releases a game this strong, it makes a big statement. All signs point to this firm becoming a household name sooner rather than later.

Back to Aurum!

We’re all for a clever name, but at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter what you call it! Whether it’s gold, aurum, cash, cheddar, honey, or any other name, they all mean the same thing: money. And profits by any other name would be just as sweet.

Big payouts are what players are after, and no matter how slick visual design becomes, this bottom line is ultimately what’s going to keep players coming back to their favorite titles again and again…

… and it sure looks like Roulette Aurum belongs in that category! Just what is it that makes it so special?

The key to this title’s success lies in its rock solid gaming substance.

The default gaming mode is classic European Roulette. This variety is beloved by players in the know, as it comes with only a single 0, and the correspondingly lower house edge.

Unlike lots of the Evolution-style live dealer games out there, this title doesn’t aspire to an ultra-exciting, game show-style presentation. Things are much more relaxed here. In fact, the pace and energy of gameplay is much more indicative of an actual casino floor!

Perhaps because the multipliers are actually very exciting, it doesn’t feel as if the whole design is built around building excitement around them. In fact, only players who switch on the Aurum Roulette option will see the multipliers – those who leave the mode off will not. It’s an absolute triumph of style over substance, that we must admit we find refreshing.

It’s true, the gaming basics are rock solid here. RTP sits at an impressive 97.28%, the minimum wager is just $0.05, and regular as well as racetrack views are available for neighbor, call, and combination bets. With all of that said, though…

… let’s talk about those bonuses!

The centerpiece of this game is its ‘Aurum Mode,’ which can be switched on and off at the push of a button.

When Aurum Mode is active, increased payouts are added at random for up to 5 Straight Up Bets per round. The max payout for each is up to 700x times the total bet! The minimum of a 50x payout, which isn’t too shabby either!

This has one very obvious impact on strategy: the major plus of this title can only be taken advantage of by players laying Straight Up bets. Aurum mode is of no value otherwise… if you stick to the even-money bets, you might as well be playing basic roulette somewhere else.

One other thing to note: native-speaking tables are available in a much wider variety here than in the run-of-the-mill live dealer offering, which tends to only offer English-speaking dealers. In this game, tables also exist in Russian, Turkish, Farsi, Arabic, Armenian, and Spanish. That alone will set this game apart for hundreds of millions of players.

Ready to seize this golden opportunity? We’d recommend taking a look at Vbet Casino. With a strong connection to the aforementioned BetConstruct, this lobby has been on hand since 2003! About them, our own James Hoarden wrote:

“VBet (mostly their software provider BetConstruct) surprised me in a very positive way. Their native table selection is outstanding for both live roulette and blackjack. You also get an amazing stream quality, well trained dealers and good UX. Absolutely top tier and I hope to see them at many more live casinos soon.”

Add competitive bonus offerings to that, and you have to ask… what more could a modern player ask for?

There’s no question that Lightning Roulette changed the complexion of online casino gambling with live dealers. The advent of win multipliers in traditional casino table games was nothing short of transformative! More or less every new live dealer game produced since its release has been influenced by it in some way: in terms of design, bonuses, structure, or some combination of the three.

But evolution comes for everyone, even Evolution Gaming! It seems that Creedroomz has beaten hem at their own game.

Consider: Lightning Roulette’s max win multiplier caps at 500x the total bet… but in Roulette Aurum, that number is 700x! Evolution’s version offers a base payout of 29:1 on Straight Up bets, while Creedroomz comes in at 30:1. As if that weren’t enough, the overall house edge in a solid 0.16% better here than in Evolution’s original!

We aren’t seeing a downside.

Sure, the design ethos is much simpler and more understated than in the TV-influenced approach common in most live dealer games these days. This will be a disappointment to some players, but others, it’ll be a virtue. That’s just a matter of taste!

When it comes down to it, we’d recommend this title to just about anyone. Just remember to play those straight-up bets! If that’s not your cup of tea, we would suggest looking elsewhere.
