What is Online Roulette all About?



Roulette is a casino table game that involves a wheel of numbers colored randomly in either red or black, and players betting on an adjacent felt table on which number and/or color the ball thrown onto the wheel will land on when the wheel stops spinning. If you get it right you win, if you don’t, you lose - it’s that simple!


The Rules of Online Roulette

  • In Roulette, you are playing against the casino, and as such, each casino can determine what its house edge will be.
  • European Roulette has a wheel with numbers 0-36, and American Roulette has a wheel with numbers 0-36 plus 00 (which increases the house edge, so stay away from it!).
  • Up to 8 players are allowed at each online Roulette table.
  • The person who spins the wheels, accepts bets and announces results is called the ‘Croupier’, and is instead of a dealer.
