Electronic table games maker Interblock plans to launch its Free Fall Roulette product in Macau during the October Golden Week holiday. The launch will mark the game’s first appearance in Asia.
Vincent Tang, Interblock’s vice president of sales for Asia Pacific, confirmed the plan to GGRAsia. He said the game is set to go live at three Sands China properties.
The three venues are The Londoner Macao, The Parisian Macao and The Venetian Macao. Tang said these complexes will be the first places in Asia to host the product.
Launch Timed for Golden Week
Golden Week runs from October 1 to October 7. The holiday period includes China’s National Day.
Tang said this is the target timeline for the rollout. He added that Interblock is looking forward to the launch.
Each of the three Sands China venues is expected to install four units of Free Fall Roulette, based on checks of the casino floors. That would put up to 12 units in operation once the rollout is complete.
The planned debut follows Interblock’s earlier confirmation that Free Fall Roulette had received regulatory approval for the Macau market. That approval cleared the way for the launch at the three properties.
The rollout places the product on casino floors during a peak travel period for Macau. It is intended to maximize visibility and player engagement.
How Free Fall Roulette Works
Free Fall Roulette is part of Interblock’s AMUSE product range. It combines a physical roulette ball with automated technology.
In traditional roulette, a dealer launches the ball around the wheel. In Free Fall Roulette, the ball is released from above the wheel instead.
Interblock describes the game as a pinball-style twist on roulette. According to the company’s corporate materials, the play mechanism is inspired by the Plinko ball drop.
The game is offered through Interblock’s Universal Cabinet. The design is meant to give players a different visual and gameplay experience than standard roulette.
Interblock has been growing its presence across the Asia-Pacific region. The company has introduced new products and secured regulatory approvals in several gaming jurisdictions to support that growth.
The Macau debut is in line with those expansion plans. It adds a new market for the company’s AMUSE range.
If the schedule holds, players will be able to try Free Fall Roulette at the three resorts when Golden Week begins on October 1. The holiday period will run through October 7.
