Cockroach Racing Betfred
- A totally unique roulette style game in Betfred and William Hill
- Watch the cockroaches race towards the finish line
- Worse odds than regular FOBT roulette, but very fun to play
Cockroach Racing Betfred is the fun little bookies game featuring racing cockroaches. Thirteen cockroaches race to the finish line in lanes numbered from 0 to 12 on a roulette coloured racing grid. Cockroach Racing Betfred is basically a mini roulette game, using bugs instead of a roulette wheel. Place your bets on any number from 0 to 12 to be paid odds of 11/1 for a straight-up number. You may also bet on splits and corners, columns of three and four numbers, and outside bets of red and black, with the odds paying accordingly.
Cockroach Racing Betfred is not the most popular of bookies roulette games, and as such is hidden away in the back menus of the betting terminals. Once the game loads up, you can play it in the usual roulette way, however due to the limited amount of numbers, the maximum stakes per number have changed from what you might expect. A straight-up number pays 11/1, so the maximum bet is £41, this can be doubled for splits. Outside red and black is slightly worse than 50/50 due to there been only 12 numbers and one zero, however the maximum bet here is either £50 or £100 depending on your settings. If you are going to just bet on red or black, stick to Original Roulette, for improved odds.
