Live Roulette Explained
Live roulette is roulette played on a real wheel streamed to your screen. You place bets on a digital betting layout during a timed window, and the pocket where the ball lands on camera decides every bet.
This guide covers the live format. For bet types, payouts and odds, read the roulette rules guide
How a live round works
- Betting opens: place chips on the digital layout before the timer ends.
- The spin: the dealer spins the wheel and launches the ball in the opposite direction.
- No more bets: betting closes shortly after the spin starts.
- Result: the winning number is recognised and shown on screen, and bets are settled.
Dealer and automated wheels
Most live roulette tables have a dealer who spins the wheel and announces results. Automated roulette uses a mechanical wheel that launches the ball without a dealer, usually with faster rounds. In both cases, the outcome is decided by the physical wheel.
Single zero or double zero
| Wheel | Pockets | House edge on most bets |
|---|---|---|
| European (single zero) | 37: numbers 1–36 and 0 | 2.70% |
| American (double zero) | 38: numbers 1–36, 0 and 00 | 5.26% |
The table name or wheel image shows which version you are playing. The single-zero wheel has the lower house edge.
Multiplier variants
Some live roulette formats add random multipliers to selected straight-up numbers in certain rounds. To fund these, the standard straight-up payout is usually reduced below the classic 35:1. Read the table's paytable to see the actual payouts and any stated RTP.
Statistics panels
Live tables often show recent results, "hot" and "cold" numbers, and red/black percentages. These are history only. Each spin is independent, so past results do not change the probability of any number coming up next.
