Online Roulette Explained

The long and glamorous history of roulette: is a testament to its staying power and its enduring popularity. According to legend, the roulette wheel that we all know and love today was the brainchild of the French mathematician Blaise Pascal, who created the wheel by accident when attempting to invent the perpetual motion machine.

Before long, the wheel was being used for recreational gambling, with it being de rigueur for all of the aristocratic townhouses of 18th century Paris to house one.

From here, the roulette wheel made its way south to the gaming palaces of Monte Carlo, and then across the Atlantic into the first casinos of North America, via the gambling dens of French-speaking New Orleans.

Today, the world of online casinos has made roulette more accessible than ever. Thanks to innovative random number generator technology, the truly unpredictable physics of the roulette wheel can now be safely recreated in the digital realm.

Types of Online Roulette

Unsurprisingly given its rich history, roulette has taken on many different variations and formats over the centuries. Here are the main types of Roulette on offer today, all available at Mr Green Casino:

French Roulette

This is classic Roulette with all the bells and whistles. With French Roulette, you’ll find 37 numbered pockets on the wheel, as well as a single zero pocket, which puts the house edge at 2.7%. French roulette is therefore similar to classic European roulette, with one crucial difference.

Unlike European Roulette, French roulette has two unique features: en prison and la partage. La partage is a rule that stipulates that, whenever the ball lands on the zero pockets, the player gets 50% of their stake back. Meanwhile, en prison allows the player to “imprison” their stake if they lose a bet and try again. If the imprisoned bet wins the next round, the player wins their stake back.

European Roulette

European roulette is virtually identical to French Roulette, with the numbers and the house edge remaining the same. The only difference is that European roulette does not often include la partage or en prison.

American Roulette

They say everything is bigger in the land of the free, and that is true of the roulette wheel. In American Roulette, the wheel has an extra double zero pocket (00), meaning that there are two separate zero pockets. This boosts the house edge up to 5.27%, therefore, players will find it harder to win at American roulette.

Multi-Wheel Roulette

Why play one game of roulette when you can play several? As the name suggests, multi-wheel roulette is a hugely popular form of Online Roulette that allows you to wager on multiple roulette wheels all at the same time. This is a roulette variant that requires focus, strategy, and the ability to hold your nerve.

Live Roulette

The latest iteration of roulette. This is a Live Roulette experience with the croupier guiding the game in real-time and is streamed live using the latest technology available.

How to Play Online Roulette

Roulette Strategies

Whilst Roulette is classed as a game of chance, many players choose to use various systems that they believe will improve their odds of winning. There are numerous strategies that you can use to make your game of Roulette more fun, and some of the most interesting are the James Bond, Martingale, and columns and colours.

You may have already heard of the Martingale strategy, a system that requires a serious amount of cash and strong nerves. It can ensure that you’ll always get back your original stake by playing in one betting unit.

You’ll need to place continuous small wagers on even chance bets like black/red. You’ll then place the same bet again if it wins, doubling the bet if it loses.

An example of this would be a six-line bet of $25 on numbers 13 to 18, $5 on 0, and $70 on the high numbers 19 to 36. You’ll need to keep your wits about you and bet in the same fractions continuously for the system to work. It could give an 81.5% chance of a win on each spin.

The columns and colours strategy is a classic system, where you’ll need to place a bet on a column with 8 numbers of red and a bet on all the red numbers. Bets will cover 1/3 of the Roulette wheel. If your column doesn’t win you’ve then still got the remaining bets on red, with a 47% chance of winning and breaking even.

Advanced Bets

These exciting bets can add an extra kick of fun to your game, as well as helping you prepare strategies of your own:

Neighbor Bets

a 5-piece bet in which you wager on one number plus the two neighbouring numbers on each side of that number on the wheel. For example, wagering on 0, 3, 26, 32, and 15 is a neighbour roulette bet.

Section Bets

These bets are often known as ‘voisins du zero’ (voisin), ‘tiers du cylindre’ (tier), and ‘orphelins’ (orphans). They cover much larger areas of the Roulette wheel and you may hear them referred to as ‘French Bets’:

Voisins du Zero (Voisins)

A type of ‘section bet’ that translates to ‘neighbours of zero’. This is so-called because it covers the numbers closer to zero on the roulette wheel: 22, 18, 29, 7, 28, 12, 35, 3, 26, 0, 32, 15, 19, 4, 21, 2, and 25. On the layout the chips are placed in the following positions:

Corner 0,2, and 3: 2 chips
Corner 25-29: 2 chips
4/7 split: 1 chip
12/15 split: 1 chip
18/21 split: 1 chip
19/22 split: 1 chip
32/35 split: 1 chip

Example: A bet of voisins by 5 would be $5×9 and cost a total of $45.

Tiers du Cylindre (Tiers)

This translates to ‘thirds of the wheel’ and consists of a wager on the 12 numbers between a certain section, such as between 5/8.  1 chip is placed in the positions below and the bet covers a total of 12 numbers:

5/8 split
10/11 split
13/16 split
23/24 split
27/30 split
33/36 split

Example: A tiers by 5 bet would be $5×6 and cost a total of $30.

Orphelins (Orphans)

This is a bet on the numbers that are not covered by the Tiers and the Voisins bets: 17, 34, 6, 1, 20, 14, 31, and 9. There are a total of 8 numbers covered and 1 chip is placed in positions:

Straight up number 1

6/9 split
14/17 split
17/20 split
31/34 split

Example: An orphans by 5 bet would be $5×5 and cost a total of $25.
