Play Live Roulette

Live roulette is one of the most popular table games in our live casino lobby and, indeed, one of the most popular casino games of all time. It is a timeless classic that players have enjoyed for generations.

With the advent of online casinos came a necessity to reunite players with the social and immersive nature of sitting at a casino table and interacting with others. And so the industry delivered, offering a range of live-streamed online casino games that allow players to have that experience but from the comfort of their own homes.  

These live-streamed games offer players a range of game variants and modifications to traditional gameplay that add an extra level of excitement to the game. Their live chat functionality offers a more sociable experience, allowing direct interaction with game hosts and fellow players. 

Live online casino games are rapidly becoming one of the industry's most exciting online casino spaces. Let’s look at how you can play live roulette at Betano Casino today. 

How does Live Roulette work?

Live roulette works in much the same way as playing roulette in a real-life brick-and-mortar casino. You sit at the table, place bets, and then watch as your host spins the roulette wheel, drops the ball, and then watch to see where the ball lands. 

Live casino games are the closest you can get to sitting at the table in person, and as technology continues to evolve, this innovative genre of online casino games is becoming more popular thanks to the immersive and engaging gaming experience it provides. 

Live roulette uses augmented technology to deliver a captivating casino experience. Your betting station is digitally overlaid on the live stream, and your host spins an actual physical roulette wheel. You can watch to see where the ball lands in real-time. 

If you’re unfamiliar with the game rules of roulette, while they will vary from title to title, the general premise is straightforward to follow. The roulette wheel is segmented into a series of pockets, each either black or red (except for zero, which is green) and numbered up to 36.

On the table, you see the betting station where you can choose from a series of bets, either on a specific number where you think the ball will land or certain groupings like corners, streets, dozens, odds/evens, red/black, odd/even and more. The payouts for different bets vary depending on the likelihood of a winning outcome. 

While some live roulette games will follow the basic rules of European or American Roulette (which has an additional double zero green pocket), others include exciting game modifiers and bonuses to enhance your gameplay experience and prize potential. 

Most Popular Live Roulette Games

Roulette is a fan favourite across online and land-based casinos, so it is no surprise that the live casino space is packed with exciting variants of this legendary table game. 

It’s an area where developers can have some fun, combining the authenticity of real-life hosts, the enhancement of digital features, and the addition of special bonuses to make win potential stretch far beyond the standard payouts of the traditional game. 

Below, we’ve highlighted some standout titles for new players in the space to experience a far-reaching taster of what you can expect from the type of live roulette games you’ll find in the Betano live casino lobby:

Lightning Roulette - This Evolution Gaming title is based on the gameplay of French Roulette, which has a wheel containing 37 pockets numbered zero to 36. In this suped-up variant of the traditional game, random numbers are hit with a bolt of lightning once the betting time is closed, which applies a multiplier value. 

If you’ve placed a bet that covers that number and it comes in, the multiplier value is applied to your payout before it’s awarded. Multipliers are only applied to straight-up bets that cover a single number only. 

Red Door Roulette - Red Door Roulette is Evoloution’s mashup of its popular Lightning Roulette games and the bonus game from the developer’s iconic Crazy Time live casino game show game. This unique fusion of games enhances gameplay and shows just what can be done in this exciting genre with standard roulette, slot machine bonuses, and the massively successful Crazy Time bonus game wheel.

Age of the Gods Roulette Live - Age of the Golds Roulette Live is another demonstration of a provider creating fusions between different areas of online casinos and creating mouth-watering new concepts that offer thrilling modified gameplay to traditional table games. 

In this title, Playtech has combined the luxurious environments of its live casino studios with the ancient worlds of its iconic Age of the Golds slot machine series. The results offer exciting gameplay and yet another opportunity for fans of one genre to taste another. 

Xxxtreme Lightning Roulette - This Evolution Gaming title incorporates further innovative features into the gameplay of the Lightning Rouletts games, including chain lightning and double strike multipliers that allow players to earn multipliers of up to 2,000x. 

Between one and five of the 36 numbers available on the roulette wheel will be struck by lightning, whereby a multiplier value is applied to that number. If one of your bets covers a multiplier number and it comes in, the multiplier value is applied to your payout.

Roulette Betting Systems – An Overview

Seasoned gamblers will be familiar with the various techniques that casino game fans claim to be good strategies for winning when playing certain games. Before we go any further in this section, it’s important to remember that online casino games are games of chance and you cannot accurately predict the outcome of any one game round except for by chance.  

The Martingale System

The Martingale System is probably the most common strategy for roulette gambling and involves doubling your bet after each loss. The premise is that you will eventually recoup your losses when you hit a winning hand, and when you do so, you return to your original small bet and start again. This system consists of starting with a large bankroll to accommodate the exponential rise of your bet value during a losing streak.

D’Alembert Strategy

The D’Alembert Strategy is a type of negative progression system. You select a base bet value (say, £1.00) and then place a bet on an even money bet—either even/odds or red/black. If you lose the round, increase the next bet by 1x; if you win, decrease your next bet by 1x. 

Labourchere System

The Labouchere system is a cancellation system that involves some planning. At the start of your session, you decide how much money you want to win, then construct a list of predetermined numbers that sum up to that total win value. 

From this list, you bet on the sum of the numbers from either end, crossing off winning numbers and adding losing bet amounts to the end before repeating the process until the list is completed. 

Fibonacci System

The Fibonacci System is a negative progressive betting system whereby you bet using amounts that follow the Fibonacci Sequence. This means that following a losing bet, your next bet is the sum of your two previous bets until you win. When you hit a winning round, you step back two numbers in the sequence and then proceed from there.
