Real Dealer Heats Up Roulette with Legendary ‘9 Masks of Fire’ Title
9 Masks of Fire, a popular slots title with a global following, has now blazed its way into table games territory with the help of the studio’s unique moviemaking approach.
Cinematic casino games producer Real Dealer Studios has used its signature film-industry techniques to create the first online roulette adaptation of the successful 9 Masks of Fire slots game.
Released today, 9 Masks of Fire Roulette notably includes a random multiplier feature that gives players a chance to boost payouts on straight-up bet wins by up to 500x. In a nod to the game’s origins, the multiplier values are set at the beginning of each round on five slots-style reels, each corresponding to a random lucky number. The more masks roll by on any given reel, the bigger the potential payout for the corresponding number.
Like its slots predecessor and all its variations, this European roulette title centres around playful, tribal figures, scorching flames and ancient gold. Upbeat African music adds to the party vibe while friendly, masked dancers celebrate each of the player’s wins.
Visually, the title reaches new heights compared with its slots counterparts by adding the realism of film-industry quality video to animated graphical elements. The look was achieved through Cinematic RNG, an innovative process created by Real Dealer whereby polished video footage is integrated into a random number generator-based game framework.
“Naturally we gave this production our Cinematic RNG treatment to create that modern ‘wow’ factor, but at the same time we managed to stay true to the old-style graphical theme and overall fun vibe of the classic title,” said Shane Cotter, Chief Product Officer at Real Dealer Studios.
“This way, slots fans who give the roulette version a go will feel right at home and will still be impressed with the new look. Likewise, players coming from in the table games world will get to enjoy the 9 Masks experience the best way possible.”
9 Masks of Fire Roulette is available exclusively from Games Global.

The launch celebrates another North American venture with DraftKings this quarter.
Hacksaw Gaming established its business relationship with DraftKings this time last year. The pair have embarked on a North American takeover since, having successfully set the collaboration in motion in West Virginia after receiving full regulatory approval in June. The studio has already set eager sights on Pennsylvania as another future target.
Gripping the charts as renowned industry lead in the US, DraftKings has rolled out Hacksaw’s classic slots, Chaos Crew and OmNom, alongside fan-favourite Dare2Win games Mines and Boxes. The games have received a warm welcome in the online casino lobby following a fruitful agreement to brand Hacksaw’s first 10 games with exclusivity in the market for the next 2 weeks.
“Having secured such a significant presence in the US in 2023 is something we are incredibly proud of,” said Marcus Cordes, CEO of Hacksaw Gaming, “our hard work takes form in our ever-increasing footprint”.
