Marble Race Live

Intro

Marble Race Live is Evolution’s colorful take on a live dealer marble race. It’s a game show released in 2025, one of a few races in Evolution’s portfolio (following Race Track and Balloon Race). However, this game departs from the traditional card and wheel-based formats and offers players a front row seat to a thrilling race between six vibrant marbles.

With betting limits ranging from $0.20 to $10,000 and a sleek, race-like format, it’s a game designed for light-hearted fun rather than high stakes drama. In fact, it’s not a high-payout game at all, considering the maximum payout possible is 27:1. There are no bonus rounds or fancy multipliers either, just a simple race and two simple bet types to keep you engaged. It’s fast, nostalgic and unlike anything Evolution has delivered before. You can learn more about Marble Race Live in our review below.

Marble Race Live is kept incredibly simple with just two stages: Betting and Racing. That’s it. It’s also a marble race game with 6 marbles, each represented by a different color. Each round is very fast, as there are no unnecessary steps towards the finish line.

Here is how the round typically looks like.

Betting Phase

Once the round begins, players have 12 seconds to bet on the round.

There are two options: either on the first-place marble (Regular bet) or the first and second-place marbles (known as the Compound bet).

The six marbles, each with a specific color, are placed on a sloping track with obstacles.

Race Phase

Once betting has ended and you have placed your wager, it’s time for the race.

As soon as the marbles start rolling, everything depends on gravity and luck. The camera follows the action and gives the players a good view of everything that’s happening on the track.

It’s important to note that the racetrack also features obstacles.

These obstacles are designed to make it harder for the marbles to find their way to the finish line. Most of them are delayed, while some even don’t finish the race at all. That is why it is important to watch the race and the path each marble takes.

When the race is over – when the first marbles reach the finish line – all winnings are paid out depending on the bet. It’s fast-paced, minimalist fun that doesn’t require a complicated strategy, so you don’t have to worry about tactics and strategizing at all.

The payouts in Marble Race Live are simple, but vary depending on the type of bet.

There are two options in total: The 1^st place bet, and 1^st and 2^nd place bet.

The first one, also called Regular bet, has an RTP of 95.83% and offers payouts up to 4.75:1.

However, if you’re looking for higher winnings, the 1^st  and 2^nd  place bet offers a maximum payout of 27:1, which is better than the first option. Though, it carries a lower RTP of 93.33% due to the higher difficulty level. So, be careful with this one! To win the second option, you have to correctly guess two marbles, not just one. That’s way harder than trying to hit the first one.

Remember that you can bet more marbles per spin, and that you can place multiple bets in a single spin to cover more areas.

Marble Race Live is not equipped with bonus rounds or sophisticated game mechanisms. Rather, its charm lies in its simplicity. However, there are a few helpful tools that enhance the gaming experience:

• Autoplay: You can set a stake and have it automatically repeated over several rounds. Ideal for those who want to sit back and enjoy the race without constant input.
• Live results and statistics: You can call up the results of the last 100 races as well as the winning odds for each ball color. Although this has no influence on the randomness of future races, it is very interesting for data-oriented players.

Once the marbles are released, there’s no more RNG involvement — it’s all live and physics-based, giving the game an authentic thrill.
