Table rules
- Choose the wheel with the toggle above the table: European (single 0, 37 pockets) or American (0 and 00, 38 pockets). Switching clears any bets on the layout.
- The winning pocket is picked with a cryptographically secure random number generator, so each pocket has exactly a 1 in 37 (European) or 1 in 38 (American) chance. The ball then lands in that pocket on the 3D wheel.
- Numbers sit in the real order of each wheel, and colours follow the standard layout: 0 and 00 are green; 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 12, 14, 16, 18, 19, 21, 23, 25, 27, 30, 32, 34 and 36 are red; the rest are black.
- Standard payouts: straight 35:1, split 17:1, street 11:1, corner 8:1, six line 5:1, dozens and columns 2:1, red/black, odd/even and 1–18/19–36 1:1. On the American wheel the top line (0-00-1-2-3) pays 6:1.
- No la partage or en prison: even-money bets lose when the ball lands in a zero.
- Winning bets are paid at the odds above plus your stake back, straight into your balance. Losing bets are taken.
How to practise
Start with $500 in play chips · resets every visit. Nothing is saved — every page load starts again at $500. Pick a chip, tap a number, a line between numbers or an outside box (at least $5 on each spot, and your total can't be more than your balance), then press Spin. Undo takes back your last chip, Clear empties the layout, and Rebet puts your last bets back but never spins by itself. Run out? Press Reset to $500. Sound is off by default.

How to play roulette
Roulette is the simplest game in the casino: you put chips on the numbers or groups of numbers you think the ball will land in, the dealer spins the wheel one way and the ball the other, and every bet that covers the winning pocket is paid. There are no decisions after the spin — the only skill is understanding what each bet pays and what it costs you over time.
European vs American roulette
The European wheel has 37 pockets: the numbers 1 to 36 plus a single green 0. The American wheel has 38: the same 36 numbers plus 0 and 00. Both pay exactly the same odds, so the extra 00 is pure house edge: 2.70% on every European bet versus 5.26% on almost every American bet. If you have the choice, the single-zero wheel is the better game. Use the toggle above the table to switch — your bets are cleared when you do, because the layout changes.
Inside bets (on the numbers)
- Straight — one number, including 0 or 00. Tap the number. Pays 35 to 1.
- Split — two numbers next to each other. Tap the line between them. Pays 17 to 1.
- Street — a row of three numbers (for example 13-14-15). Tap the outer edge of the row, next to the dozens. The zero trios (0-1-2 and 0-2-3, or 00-2-3 on the American wheel) also pay as streets. Pays 11 to 1.
- Corner — four numbers that meet at a point. Tap the point where they meet. On the European wheel, the point where 0 meets 1, 2 and 3 is the first four bet. Pays 8 to 1.
- Six line — two neighbouring rows, six numbers. Tap the outer edge where the two rows meet. Pays 5 to 1.
- Top line (American only) — 0, 00, 1, 2 and 3. Tap the outer corner where 0 meets 1. Pays 6 to 1, which makes it the worst bet on the table: its house edge is 7.89%, because a fair price for five numbers out of 38 would be 6.6 to 1.
Outside bets (around the numbers)
- Red or Black, Odd or Even, 1–18 or 19–36 — 18 numbers each. Pays 1 to 1.
- Dozens (1st 12, 2nd 12, 3rd 12) and columns (the "2 to 1" boxes at the end of each column) — 12 numbers each. Pays 2 to 1.
The green 0 and 00 aren't red or black, odd or even, high or low, and they're not in any dozen or column — so every outside bet loses when the ball lands in a zero. That's where the house edge comes from.
Payouts and house edge on this table
| Bet | Pays | European | American |
|---|
| Straight | 35 to 1 | 2.70% | 5.26% |
| Split | 17 to 1 | 2.70% | 5.26% |
| Street / trio | 11 to 1 | 2.70% | 5.26% |
| Corner / first four | 8 to 1 | 2.70% | 5.26% |
| Six line | 5 to 1 | 2.70% | 5.26% |
| Top line (0-00-1-2-3) | 6 to 1 | — | 7.89% |
| Dozen or column | 2 to 1 | 2.70% | 5.26% |
| Red/Black, Odd/Even, 1–18/19–36 | 1 to 1 | 2.70% | 5.26% |
Every bet on a wheel costs the same in the long run (except the American top line): on the European wheel you'd expect to lose 1 chip in 37 on average, and on the American wheel 2 in 38. Bigger payouts don't change that — they just make the results swing more. The house edge is a long-run average, not a prediction for any session.
La partage and en prison (not used here)
Some European casinos soften the zero for even-money bets. Under la partage, if the ball lands in 0 you get half of your Red/Black, Odd/Even or 1–18/19–36 bet back. Under en prison, that bet is held for the next spin instead, and returned if it wins. Either rule cuts the edge on even-money bets to about 1.35%. This practice table uses standard rules without them, so even-money bets simply lose on a zero, like at most online tables.
How the result is picked
When you press Spin, the winning pocket is chosen first with your browser's cryptographically secure random number generator, giving every pocket the same chance (1 in 37 or 1 in 38). The 3D wheel then plays out a spin that lands the ball in that pocket. Past results in the recent strip don't affect the next spin — the wheel has no memory, so "hot" and "due" numbers don't exist.
Frequently asked questions

No. Every hand is random, so a good or bad run here tells you nothing about what will happen next, here or at a real casino. Real casinos also use their own rules, which can change the odds. Use this table to learn the rules and decisions, not to predict outcomes.
The European wheel has 37 pockets with a single 0. The American wheel has 38 pockets with both 0 and 00. The payouts are the same, so the extra 00 raises the house edge from 2.70% to 5.26%. Use the toggle above the table to switch between them.
On a single wheel almost every bet has the same house edge: 2.70% on the European wheel and 5.26% on the American wheel. The exception is the American top line (0-00-1-2-3), which pays 6 to 1 and has a 7.89% edge, the worst bet on the table. Choosing the European wheel matters far more than choosing a bet.
The pocket is picked with your browser's cryptographically secure random number generator before the ball is shown, so every pocket has exactly the same chance. The 3D wheel then animates a spin that lands in that pocket.
No. Even-money bets lose when the ball lands in 0 or 00, which is the standard rule at most online tables. Our guide below explains how la partage and en prison work.
