Real Dealer gives roulette an exotic spin with Scarab Auto Roulette
Players are transported to Ancient Egypt in the latest title from the innovative casino game developer
Real Dealer Studios, the games developer known for using cinematic production techniques to create thrilling gameplay, is taking players on a journey to Ancient Egypt in its latest release, Scarab Auto Roulette.
The game transports players to the mysterious Temple of the Scarab where among the ancient columns, murals and hieroglyphs they will find a gilded roulette wheel that has the potential to summon incredible riches.
Creating a game around such a powerful, dramatic theme, an approach borrowed from the world of online slots, is Real Dealer’s way of bringing that same novelty and excitement into the online table games arena, which is dominated by the classic casino look.
To ensure that Scarab Auto Roulette is as authentic as it is engaging, Real Dealer combined high-quality video of a physical roulette wheel in action with a carefully constructed CGI environment. The resulting video footage was then incorporated into the game’s RNG framework to create stunning visuals.
Real Dealer’s games differ from other online casino products in their use of Cinematic RNG, an approach that uses professional actors, film directors and post-production crew to create Hollywood film-quality footage of dealers and gameplay.
When integrated into an RNG game framework, the carefully edited productions provide the player with a one-on-one, authentic online casino experience where they are made to feel like a VIP.
Shane Cotter, Chief Product Officer at Real Dealer Studios, said: “Themed slot games are hugely popular, but studios have not really taken the same approach to table games. We wanted to bring some of that entertainment value to the table game market and that’s exactly what we have done with Scarab Auto Roulette.
“Ancient Egypt is one of the most consistently successful themes in iGaming, so it made sense to create a game around this while also putting our own unique twist on it.
“Scarab Auto Roulette really is a visually striking game that also delivers plenty of thrilling gameplay and we look forward to seeing players enter the Temple of the Scarab in search of their own riches.”

GamCare releases Annual Report following record breaking year of support on the National Gambling Helpline
GamCare’s National Gambling Helpline received a record 55,228 calls and online chats from people experiencing gambling harm in 2023-24 – a 25% increase from the previous year – according to the charity’s Annual Report.
In a year marked by uncertainty over the future shape and structure of the gambling harms treatment sector following the previous government’s white paper on gambling reform, the charity continued to prioritise those at-risk of, or currently experiencing, gambling harm.
Of all calls and online chats that were responded to on GamCare’s Helpline in 2023/24, 41,070 (74%) were classed as supportive interventions. This includes supporting people with initial guidance and advice as well as delivering a seamless entry point into structured treatment services, with individuals completing treatment reporting a significant reduction in gambling-related distress and financial harm.
In March 2024, the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities published an assessment of the gambling treatment system, highlighting that 57% of individuals engaging in treatment were referred by the National Gambling Helpline. This underscores the Helpline’s critical role in connecting people to the support they need. Over 9,100 free treatment sessions were delivered in the year to April 2024, with an average of just 2.1 days’ wait from point of referral.
GamCare’s targeted programmes aimed at young people, women, and the criminal justice system provided training on how to spot the signs of harms and where to signpost into support for 10,344 professionals, and education for 53,324 young people, children and parents. The Women’s Programme, in partnership with organisations such as Refuge, trained 3,813 professionals to recognise and address gambling-related harm among women.
Margot Daly, Executive Chair of GamCare’s Board, says: “Throughout a challenging year and with heightened demand for our services, GamCare’s staff have got on with the job of preventing harm where possible and treating harm where necessary. While we expect important changes in the gambling harms landscape, we have been determined not to let this uncertainty affect our relentless focus on the people who really matter – those at-risk of or currently experiencing gambling harms.
“I would like to thank and pay tribute to our frontline staff who provide 24/7 support for all those at risk or in distress. I also want to thank GamCare’s senior executive team who have steered GamCare through a period of sustained change, and to my fellow trustees for their guidance, unwavering support and the time each has dedicated to ensuring that the charity stays on course and on mission.
“As we look ahead to how the future of the gambling harms sector is shaped, we are committed to working proactively with the NHS and other partners and commissioners to ensure that people are continually able to receive the right support at the right time.”
