Play the best online Roulette games

Roulette is one of the oldest and most popular casino table games. Part of the appeal is its simplicity: just place your bets and watch where the ball will land.

The other part of the appeal is just how many different variants of roulette there are. While you can happily bet on red or black, introducing betting strategy and side bets in French roulette makes this game great for beginners and strategists alike.

• American: numbers 0-36, plus a single zero and a double zero
• European: numbers 0-36, plus a single zero
• French: numbers 0-36, plus a single zero, and extra betting options.

Roulette Bets and Payouts

There are lots of different types of bets that you can place in roulette. Below is a very quick guide to the different options along with their standard payouts.

Outside Bets

• 1:1 - Red/black
• 1:1 - Odd/Even
• 2:1 - High/Low (1-18) or (19-36)
• 3:1 - Columns (1, 2, or 3)
• 3:1 - Dozens (1st, 2nd or 3rd)

Inside Bets

• 8:1 - Corner (four numbers)
• 5:1 - Line (two lines)

In French Roulette, you can also receive half of your bet back with the En Prison rule if the ball lands on zero and you’ve made an even-money bet.

Roulette Odds

Knowing about the odds in a game of roulette can help you to work out which bets are more likely to happen than others, as well as which variant you might like to try.

While the place the ball lands is completely down to chance, knowing about the odds can help you to stretch your bankroll further by taking less statistically risky bets or choosing a variant with a better house edge.

American Roulette Odds

American roulette tables have numbers 1-36 plus a single zero and a double zero square. If the ball lands on the zero or double zero, then the house keeps the bets unless a player bets exactly on these numbers. The presence of these numbers means that the house edge in American roulette is 5.26%.

European Roulette Odds

European and French roulette tables have the numbers 1-36 and a single zero square. As they have one less zero square than American roulette, that means there’s one less chance on every spin for the house to keep your bets.

This brings the house edge down to 2.7%, with the possibility of it being even lower in French roulette if the La Partage or En Prison rules are in play.

Roulette is first and foremost a game of chance. While some players use betting strategies, it's important to remember that these approaches carry their own risks and do not guarantee better outcomes. Below are some of the most popular strategies:

• Martingale: a method where you double your bet after each loss, aiming to recover previous losses with a single win, though it carries the risk of large losses.
• Reverse Martingale (Paroli): a system where you increase your bet after each win, attempting to capitalize on winning streaks, but which may lead to losing accumulated winnings quickly.
• D’Alembert: adjust your bet by increasing it by one unit after a loss and decreasing by one after a win; this method aims to balance losses and wins but doesn’t guarantee improved outcomes.
• Fibonacci: a betting approach based on the Fibonacci number sequence, determining bet sizes according to a mathematical pattern. However, it carries the same risks as other progression-based systems.
• Labouchere: involves creating a sequence of numbers representing your target winnings. Bets are the sum of the first and last numbers, with numbers crossed out after wins. Like other systems, it does not ensure profits and can lead to rapid losses.

Frequently Asked Questions about Online Roulette

Can I play online roulette for real money on PokerStars?

Yes, all of our roulette games are available to play for real money. You can set stakes from as little as €0.20 € per spin, so even if you’re betting on a small budget, there’s a roulette variant to suit you.

Is roulette 100% luck?

Roulette is entirely about luck. Although some players use strategies to structure their bets, no system can control or predict where the ball will land. Understanding the odds of different bets can help you make informed choices, but remember, even the most sophisticated methods can't change the random outcome of the wheel.

What is the 3/2 rule in roulette?

The 3/2 system is a strategy that some players like to use when playing roulette. It involves making a 3-credit bet on a color, as well as a 2-credit bet on a column, on every spin. This covers well over two-thirds of the pockets on the wheel, statistically increasing your chances of a correct bet.

What is the 5-number bet in roulette?

The 5-number bet (also known as the basket bet) covers the numbers 0, 00, 1, 2, and 3. It pays out at 6:1 and is the only outside bet in roulette that takes zero into account. You’re only able to place a basket bet in American roulette, as it needs both a single and double zero to work.

What is the smartest bet in roulette?

The smartest bet in roulette all depends on what makes roulette fun for you. This is a game of chance, so although there are strategies to stretch out and manage your bankroll, there’s no guarantee of winning. If you’re looking to make small but more regular wins, then outside bets are a good idea; for large payouts but rarer hits, inside bets are smartest.

How do you win at roulette?

Roulette is all about chance; that’s what makes the game so enjoyable. There are no guarantees that you can win at roulette. Instead, focusing on managing your bankroll and having fun is the best way to really win.
