Roulette is the only game every Live Dealer provider seems to offer. They make doing this review easy because they all deal single-zero roulette. With one zero only the house edge is 2.70% on every bet. That means you can play wherever you have the most fun or find the dealers the most attractive.
Live Roulette is a version of the game that players can play from home, similar to online Roulette. However, instead of a Random Number Generator (RNG) determining if your spin wins or loses, there is an actual dealer, spinning a real Roulette wheel, just as you’d find in a land-based casino.
The main thing differentiating one game from another were the statistics offered on past spins. However, don't let me writing about that fool you. Past spins are worthless in predicting the next spin. On a fair roulette wheel, which I presume these are, every number has the same chances. Providing information on past spins only feeds into the delusional belief of some players that the past matters.
Amaya offers the game on an actual roulette table, not just the wheel as most other places do. They remind the player of the hottest and coldest four numbers going back an unknown number of spins.
Asia Gaming has a betting layout in Chinese. Don't worry, it's pretty obvious what all the bets are. They also show a history of the previous eight spins.
Asia Live Tech positions their camera on the ceiling, looking down at the ugly flowered yellow carpeting. The betting interface shows the last five spins and offers racetrack betting.
Judging from this promotional picture, Bet Construct shows a history of the last eight spins and offers racetrack betting.
The Ebet roulette wheel is single-zero. The camera angle looks directly down on the wheel. For the superstitious players, not only is there a red/black history board for the wheel you're playing, but the other live roulette wheels. The house edge on every bet is 2.70%.
Evolution calls their game Immersive Roulette, but I don't know why. If you like to play against the backdrop of a starry sky, this is the game for you. No history is given but they do offer racetrack betting.
Ezugi offers roulette with a very bored-looking dealer, at least at the time I reviewed them. No to number history and yes to racetrack betting.
FashionTV offers attractive dealers in a nice looking studio. If you get bored, you can watch runway models walking to and fro in the background.
Ho Gaming has dealers in fancy Asian outfits. The interface shows the hottest number, color, even/odd, column, high/low, and dozen. They also offer racetrack betting.
Lucky Streak offers plenty of statistics, including how often each bet won over whatever period of time they look back, the last ten numbers, and a pie chart showing how often each number has hit. This would be very useful in checking for a biased wheel.
Net Entertainment had the only male roulette dealer at the time I put this page together. Is it just me, or does he look like a young Sasha Baron Cohen. The game shows the previous 15 spins as well as the three hottest and coldest numbers.
Oriental Game has another roulette table in Chinese. However, who cares when their dealers are dressed in Playboy Bunny looking outfits, minus the ears. It looks like they display the previous six spins and offer racetrack betting.
Play Pearls deals their game on an actual roulette table, not just the wheel. The show statistics on the past history of red/black and odd/even.
SA Gaming deals their roulette game in what looks like a real casino, but with no live players. They offer something I've never seen before, a red/black history done like a baccarat scoreboard. They also show the previous 14 numbers and hottest and coldest six numbers.
As usual, Super Spade offers a very simple, no-nonsense game. I personally have experienced bad and dropped connections.
Usoft is the only provider to offer intermittently topless dealers. Even at the other times they are dressed in see-through outfits. Any other details are pale in importance.
Visionary iGaming shows a history of the previous 13 numbers as well as the hottest and coldest six. However, what gets my attention is the chat box. It helps me brush up on my Spanish.
Vivo Gaming offers two styles of roulette games. Both show a history of the past 12 numbers and have racetrack betting.
Wirex Gaming shows a history of the past ten numbers and a chat box to converse with the dealer. They also show the previous ten spins and a live display board is on camera, but it's hard to read.
Ever since online gambling came into existence, online roulette platforms have been looking for a way to replicate and improve on the casino experience. Thanks to modern technology, online casinos now offer live dealers, which provide an unprecedented level of immersion and convenience.
If you enjoy playing online casino roulette, then you’ll love playing roulette with a live dealer. If you’ve never played roulette, but are interested in giving it a try, never fear. By the end of this article, you’ll be ready to take your first spin. Let’s first learn the basics about live roulette.
Live roulette is an online roulette game that features a live dealer. Because of its enhanced interactivity, live roulette is the best way to play roulette online. When you play roulette online for real money, playing against a real live person, rather than a programmed algorithm, can be quite comforting. Live roulette also provides a more immersive experience, since you can interact with the dealer, and even chose between several different camera views.
Let’s start with the wheel. The roulette wheel itself consists of 38 colored and numbered slots, called pockets. When the dealer spins the wheel, the roulette ball spins along with it. When the wheel slows, the ball falls into one of the pockets. Whichever pocket the ball lands in is the winning result.
The first step to play roulette online is placing a bet at the roulette table. When you place a bet, you have the option to place chips on the numbers, colors or sets you would like to bet on. When you choose to bet on a set, you have the option of betting on either a range of numbers, whether the numbers are high or low, or whether the winning number is even or odd.
You aren’t limited to only one bet per spin. In fact, you can make as many bets as you’d like. Just remember, when you play roulette online for money, the risks are higher than playing roulette online for fun. The ultimate goal is to leave with more money than when you began, so bet smart.
There are three different types of bets: inside bets, outside bets and neighbor bets. Let’s explore each type of bet individually.
Inside bets are riskier than outside bets. You have much less chance to win, but the payout is much larger when you do. There are eight types of inside bets: straight, street, split, corner, six line, trio, basket and top line.
1Straight - Betting on one number
2Street – Betting on three consecutive numbers in a horizontal line
3Split - Betting on two vertically or horizontally adjacent numbers.
4Corner – Betting on four numbers that meet at one corner
5Six Line – Betting on six consecutive numbers that form two horizontal lines.
6Trio – A three number bet that must include one zero.
7Basket – Betting on 0, 1, 2, 3.
8Top Line – Betting on 0, 00, 1, 2, 3
As opposed to inside bets, outside bets have lower payouts, but have much better odds. There are six ways to make an outside bet: Low or High (1-18 or 19-26), red or black, even or odd, dozen bet, column bet and a snake bet. While the first three kinds of outside bets are self-explanatory, let’s explore the other three bets a little further.
1Dozen Bet – Betting on a set of one of the three dozen sets, 1-12, 13-24, or 25-36.These bets are more common when playing online roulette or other Europe-located games. They are also sometimes called section bets or call bets. The reason that these bets are primarily made in the UK and Europe is because the European roulette wheel has a different number of pockets, resulting in a different layout.
A neighbor bet includes five numbers. First, you choose the primary number you would like to choose for the neighbor bet. The neighbor bet includes the primary number and the two numbers on each side of that number on the roulette wheel. For example, if you chose zero, the neighbor bet would also include 3, 26, 32 and 15.
In the graphic below, you can see the various payouts issued for each type of bet. For example, a straight up bet has a payout of 35 to 1, while a dozen bet only has a payout of 2 to 1. This chart clearly shows how drastic the difference is between inside bets and outside bets, with inside bets having lower odds, but higher winnings.
Bet | Payout |
---|---|
Straight up (1 number) | 35 to 1 |
Split Bet (2 numbers) | 17 to 1 |
Trio Bet (3 numbers) | 11 to 1 |
Street Bet (3 numbers) | 11 to 1 |
Bet | Payout |
---|---|
Corner (4 numbers) | 8 to 1 |
Line Bet (6 numbers) | 5 to 1 |
Dozen (12 numbers) | 2 to 1 |
Column Bet (12 numbers) | 2 to 1 |
Bet | Payout |
---|---|
Red/Black (18 number) | 1 to 1 |
Even/Odd (18 numbers) | 1 to 1 |
Low/High (18 numbers) | 1 to 1 |

When playing roulette online for money it is important that you play in regulated casino brands for your safety. When evaluating an online gambling site for security, you should take note of several important security factors. Sites that feature SSL data encryption are your best bet. Any site that does not include information about their encryption might not be safe. You should also make sure you are using anti-virus software and using firewall technology. Not only are anti-virus programs and firewalls helpful for playing live roulette online, they are generally a good idea for any kind of internet use. At the end of the day roulette is a gambling game and you always run the risk of losing money when playing.
While, in our opinion, any roulette is good roulette, the best way to play live roulette is online. Not only does playing online allow you to play in the comfort of your own home, but it offers increased security, convenience and freedom. The existence of live roulette online means you don’t have to miss out on the casino roulette experience.
Yes! There are many online casinos which allow you to play online roulette for real money. In fact, playing roulette online for money can be even more beneficial than playing casino roulette, since many online casinos offer bonuses options, including free cash to get you started.
While many online casino roulette tables feature a minimum betting limit, it is typically a very low number. Many online casinos feature minimum bet limits as low as $1, or even less. Most online roulette platforms feature a variety of tables featuring different minimum and maximum bets. There are options available for almost any budget.
While the main rules of casino roulette remain the same across all online roulette platforms, there are three different types. ‘American Roulette’ which has a double zero wheel style layout. The ‘European Roulette,’ that has a single zero wheel layout. And the most popular, ‘French Roulette’ which has a single zero wheel layout accompanied with a range of call bets that are specific to French Roulette.
Another example is the roulette slot machine. Roulette slot machines are very similar to traditional roulette games except they are controlled by slot mechanisms, instead of a dealer. Roulette wheel formats also vary based on geographical location

Just like a land-based casino, the role of the live dealer is to conduct the game and manage the roulette table. The live dealer will patiently wait while players place their bets. Once all the bets are placed, the live dealer will then spin the roulette wheel. Some online platforms allow you to interact with the dealer while you play.
Of course! There are plenty of online roulette platforms that offer free play. While you won’t win any actual money, you’ll still be able to experience the thrill of a live roulette table game.
