As Live Roulette is a UK based company we play standard European roulette rules with a wheel that features only one 0.
American roulette wheels feature two 0 chances.
The key step for the player of European Roulette is to place bets using various denomination chips (each chip being worth the relevant denomination in £s) on the game table. Players can make a variety of bets on the table as they please. To find out about stake limits please click here. When you deposit money in your Live Roulette account each £1 you deposit represents a chip of the relevant denomination (£1, £2, £5, £10, £20, £50 and/or £100). You place chips of your chosen value upon the table on individual numbers or predetermined combinations of numbers. Bets can be modified at any time up until the table is declared closed on-air, or via a web pop-up within the gaming page.
Live Roulette, in accordance with European rules, applies the zero-rule should zero be where the ball comes to rest then all bets with evens odds (i.e. High or Low and Evens Bets) are lost.
However, Live Roulette also borrows a rule from French Roulette called La Partage. Here the players of evens bets only lose half their wager on the outcome of a 0 on the wheel. We at Live Roulette award at least two players each evening with the La Partage rule at random announced on-air during the show.
Like most European casinos, we experience a house edge of 2.7%, meaning that the average player loses £2.70 to us for every £100 they place on the table.
Much better than American roulette - it features a house edge of 5.26% due to the double 0 pockets with twice the chance to lose on most bets.
