The future of live Roulette is here with the debut of PlayMatrix’s Cyber Roulette making its way to leading operators throughout 2026 and beyond.

PlayMatrix, the live casino solutions, games, and technology division of EveryMatrix, has introduced Cyber Roulette and Ultra Cyber Roulette, further enhancing its collection of captivating table game offerings.

Cyber Roulette and Ultra Cyber Roulette deliver a two-dimensional live experience centered on one wheel, providing next generation players with a dual-game concept that merges traditional European-style Roulette with cutting-edge visuals, intense energy, and dramatic multipliers.

The game features Cyber Multipliers that offer as many as 18 random multipliers with each spin, turning every round of roulette into an exciting high-win potential experience.

Operators can offer their players two games in one stream by running both Cyber and Ultra Cyber Roulette at the same table, thus optimizing table usage at the lowest operational expense.

This also provides dual volatility options, appealing to both conservative and thrill-seeking players, with balanced and high volatility choices, while the likelihood of frequent wins surpasses standard roulette, as Cyber and Ultra

Cyber Roulette offer more straight-up payouts than competing products.

Olena Kostylova, CEO, PlayMatrix, said: “Both products mark the evolution of PlayMatrix in the last two years since launch. We’ve made significant inroads and are now in a phase of rapid growth, going live with more brands across various regulated markets and with an increasing number of large-scale operators working with us to establish dedicated locally based studios powered by our bespoke technology.

“We look forward to working with many more brands this year and invite you to see the power of PlayMatrix at ICE 2026.”

EveryMatrix is exhibiting at ICE 2026 Barcelona between 19th to 21st January at stand 2Q50
