Live Roulette Rules

Game Objective

The objective in Roulette is to predict the number on which the ball will land by placing one or more bets that cover, or partly cover that particular number.

Game Play

A standard roulette wheel is divided into thirty-seven pockets with numbers 0-36. There are 18 red numbers, 18 black numbers and 1 green zero (0) digit.

Bets are placed on what is known as the ‘layout’ which includes both the standard betting grid and racetrack areas. Available bet spots are highlighted when selected while minimum and maximum bet amounts are indicated in the game screen.

Each player is responsible for the correct positioning of a valid chip combination on the layout in order to place his or her bet selection.

Bets shall only be deemed valid whereby they are placed before the dealer announces “No More Bets” or the system timer indicates that betting has closed, whichever may occur first.

The dealer shall spin the white ball in the opposite direction to that of the wheel’s rotation. At least three complete revolutions of the ball track are required for a spin to be deemed valid.

Each bet placed shall be settled in strict accordance with its position on the layout upon the roulette ball coming to rest in a pocket and as such then recognised by the system and dealer.

Upon the roulette ball coming to a full rest in a pocket, the dealer shall announce the winning number and a dolly placed on the respective numbered box on the layout.

Upon the dealer announcing the result of the round and the dolly being placed, all losing bets are collected and winning bets paid automatically by the system.

When the winning number is the green zero, all outside bets are lost.

Upon bets having been paid, a new betting period will commence and play recommence.

The standard Return to Player (RTP) for European Roulette is 97.3% although the individual RTP for each game is accessible via the in-game ‘Information’ or ‘Help’ button.

A system malfunction will result in any bets placed being declared void.

Bet Types

Many different types of bet are possible to place in Roulette with each type covering a certain range of numbers. Each bet type also has its own payout rate.
