Roulette Croupier - g-spot vibrator by Evolved Novelties - review by OroNomi

The Croupier is a multi-functional toy with several possibilities. The powerful vibrations and narrowed tip make it an ideal clitoral stimulator, but these same features when combined with its deliciously curved head make it a terrific g-spot vibrator as well. It could also easily be used as a thrusting toy, although perhaps not for beginners since it is somewhat girthy. For gentle massage, teasing and nipple play it works incredibly well and feels great thanks to the velvety silicone.

If you find the G spot stimulation to be, well, spot on... then you could use another toy for clitoral stimulation while using the Croupier for G spot/thrusting. The vibrations feel extremely nice during G spot play as well.

I also recommend it for external/light anal play, however the design of the non-flared base may not serve as a completely safe option for anal insertion.

The Croupier features a 100% European silicone (maybe it's German, because you know the Germans make great stuff!) shaft with a plastic base/battery compartment. I personally adore silicone toys, and this one is no exception. The texture of the shaft is silky smooth and has a slight drag (which can be somewhat enjoyable according to taste).

Unfortunately the toy is a bit of a lint magnet, but not so much that it's bothersome.
The shaft is slightly flexible which might be a problem for those who require extremely firm pressure on the g-spot. I personally enjoy the bit of give in the shaft and tip. It makes for a more realistic sensation and I enjoy light to moderate G spot stimulation.

The base is made of smooth, hard plastic and is completely waterproof. In spite of the smooth texture, the Croupier has a nice amount of grip which makes it easy to use for solo and water play.

The toy is virtually odorless (and flavorless) which is wonderful as both my husband and I aren't fans of anything that is too strong or perfume like.

I am a huge fan of bright, juicy colors and attractive designs, and this toy definitely stands out to me as being one of the prettiest vibrators in my collection. The Croupier is also one of the girthiest toys I own. As an insertable toy this may not be for beginners (however that shouldn't stop anyone from getting it since it makes an excellent clitoral vibrator).
At 15 ounces and 5 inches in circumference this is a moderately large toy. It has an insertable length of 5 inches, which I find to be very satisfying.
It isn't so large as to be uncomfortable, but filling and very pleasurable.


The shape is smooth with subtle ridges that may not add much to the user's sensation but do add to the toy's aesthetic appeal.


I love the curved head for two reasons:

1) It makes the toy great for g-spot stimulation but it isn't so extreme as to make thrusting awkward or uncomfortable.

2) The tip of the head is small enough that pin-point clitoral stimulation is incredibly easy.




The base is another thing for me to love. Many vibrators require the user to twist the base to turn the vibe on and off. Unfortunately, all too often I have unscrewed the battery compartment in the process. This can be particularly annoying when in the throws of passion...or when you're in the car and the batteries go flying under the seat...the Croupier features a speed dial located in the cut-out center of the base, so there's no chance of me having this issue.

I don't consider this toy to be discreet, visually. It may be a little large to keep in a purse and the amazing storage box that it comes in is clear and while it packs well for travel, it isn't easily hidden.

Before I review the performance of this toy it must be said that my favorite vibrators are the Hitachi Wand and the Wahl 2-speed massager. All other vibes pale in comparison to the intensity of these two power monsters. I need deep powerful vibrations as those the Wahl provides to achieve clitoral orgasm, and I enjoy the high setting of the Hitachi on my g-spot using the curved attachment. I have never found a vibrator that was as satisfying as these two toys. That said, the Croupier is the most powerful battery operated vibrated I've ever experienced, personally and I have found myself reaching for it just as often as the Hitachi or Wahl. The fact that it is much more travel-friendly than either of the above makes it even more appealing.

The vibrations of the Croupier are centered toward the tip of the toy but can be felt throughout. It provides powerful vibrations even under pressure and stands up to intense internal squeezing without wussing out on me.

Its functions are in no way inhibited by water play, and the texture is very pleasing when wet. The only down-side to water play is that since this is a silicone toy it should not be used with silicone lube, and water-based lube isn't very long-lasting in the shower.

I find this to be a very quiet toy. The vibrations are deep and rumbly, and not any louder than the vibrations of a cell phone. When inserted it can barely be heard under the covers, and externally it is undetectable through a closed door.

The controls are simple and easy. As I already described, the dial is located in the center of the base. It is vertical, and easy to operate by thumb in most any position, whether solo or with a partner. Simply roll the dial upwards to turn on and increase the speed, then roll downwards to decrease speed and turn off. The dial stays in place nicely and isn't too "touchy". I haven't had any problems with accidentally changing the speed during use.

It doesn't seem to be a battery hog. I've only changed the batteries once in nearly three months, and I've used it quite frequently.

The Croupier is super-easy to care for. I keep a spray bottle of Doc Johnson toy cleaner and towels on my nightstand at all times, and after using this toy I simply spray it down, wipe it off and put it back in the convenient case it came in. Doesn't get much easier than that. It can also be bleached, cleaned with hot water and a mild anti-bacterial hand soap or cleansing wipes. I don't suggest putting it in the dishwasher or into a pot of boiling water. I like it too much to risk warping the shape or damaging the battery compartment.


As with all silicone toys, always use a water-based lubricant (I use Pink Water because it is indeed awesome). It should be stored separately from other silicone toys, and this is easy, given that it comes in a nice case.

Did I mention the nice case? I wish that all my toys came with such a case for storage. The Croupier arrived in a lovely, hard plastic case with metal clasps on either side of the lid which hold it firmly in place. The case is the perfect home for this toy, and is obviously designed for long-term storage.



On the lid you will find the name of the company, the name of the toy and a brief description of its features. Not at all discreet, but highly convenient. There is an intruction sheet inside, but the Croupier is about as self-explanatory as they come. The side of the case features the obligitory warning to use this toy externally, etc. Apart from the text on the case, it is completely clear, so yeah, once again, not discreet. The case also could easily be used for gifting this toy.

I think that the Croupier has something to offer most users. As a clitoral vibrator it is powerful, yet its multi-setting function makes it great for beginners as well as advanced users. For advanced thrusting and g-spot play, this toy offers girth as well as precision in the tip. Its aesthetic design has across-the-board appeal.

As I said earlier, this toy has become a favorite of mine. I love the deep vibrations and velvety texture. The convenience of the controls and the storage case only add to an already awesome toy. My husband enjoys watching me use it, and it has made a beautiful addition to our toy collection.

It is one of my three go to toys for solo sessions or play time. Needless to say, I highly recommend this toy! It has all of the advantages of some of the more powerful vibes while including excellent G spot stimulation for a great price. Especially when compared to the multitude of toys you could gamble on and burn money trying to find something as practical and well made.
