Play roulette at r77 — a new spin on the wheel
European, American and live dealer roulette — everything you need to know about bet types, payouts, strategy and table limits, all in one place.
The wheel spins, fortune follows
Roulette is one of the oldest and most recognised casino games. A spinning wheel and a small ball — these two elements make up the core of roulette. Players place bets on a specific pocket or group of pockets on the table layout, then the dealer spins the wheel and releases the ball. Players who bet on the pocket where the ball lands win.
If you are interested in playing roulette at r77, you may also want to browse the other live table games at r77 Casino. The different versions of roulette — European, American, French and live dealer — each have their own characteristics, and it helps to understand them.
From digital versions powered by a Random Number Generator (RNG) to live tables dealt by real dealers in actual studios — r77 has options for all types of players.
How a round of roulette unfolds
Each round begins with the betting phase. During this time, players place chips on their chosen pocket or group of pockets on the table layout. Once betting time ends, the dealer announces "no more bets", spins the wheel and releases the ball. The ball comes to rest in a numbered pocket — that is the result of the round.
European roulette has 37 pockets numbered 0 to 36. American roulette has an extra "00" pocket, bringing the total to 38. The numbers are split between red and black, while zero (0) and double zero (00) are green.
After the result is determined, the dealer marks the winning bets, pays out the winners and removes the losing bets. A new round then begins. The whole process usually takes a few minutes.

Quick Facts

What each bet pays out
Roulette has two categories of bets — inside bets and outside bets. Inside bets are placed on a specific number or a small group of numbers; the payout is higher but the chance of winning is lower. Outside bets are placed on larger groups; the payout is lower but the odds are better.
| Bet Name | Description | Payout |
|---|---|---|
| Straight Up | Place a chip on a single number | 35 to 1 |
| Split | Chip placed on the line between two adjacent numbers | 17 to 1 |
| Street | A row of three consecutive numbers | 11 to 1 |
| Corner | Chip placed on the corner of four numbers | 8 to 1 |
| Dozen | Any one of three dozen groups: 1–12, 13–24 or 25–36 | 2 to 1 |
| Column | Any one of the three columns on the table | 2 to 1 |
| Red/Black | Either red or black | 1 to 1 |
| Odd/Even | Odd or even numbers | 1 to 1 |
| Low/High | 1–18 (Low) or 19–36 (High) | 1 to 1 |
The payouts above apply to European roulette. In American roulette, the payouts remain the same but the house edge is higher due to the extra "00" pocket.
Starting Tips
For new players, it is better to start with outside bets (red/black, odd/even) — the chance of winning is relatively higher and it is easier to get a feel for the game.
TipsWhere the casino's advantage comes from
The "house edge" in roulette refers to the percentage of each bet that the casino retains on average over the long run. The zero (0) pocket is the main source of the house edge — because it does not fall under any red/black or odd/even bet.
In general terms, the house edge means that on average a fixed portion of each bet stays with the casino over time — this is a long-run statistic, not the outcome of any single round. Any result can come up on any given round.
European
A single zero pocket — the lowest house edge. Recommended for both new and experienced players.
Best ChoiceAmerican
Two zero pockets — higher house edge. An option if you prefer the feel of added risk.
High EdgeFrench
The La Partage or En Prison rule gives you a chance to reduce the house edge. A favourite among experienced players.
La PartageLive Dealer
A real dealer in a live studio — greater credibility and an interactive setting.

Things to keep in mind when starting out
Roulette is fundamentally a game of chance — each spin is independent and past results do not influence future ones. That said, following a few practical habits can help extend your session and keep your budget under control.
-
01
Choose the European version. The house edge is lower than American roulette, and over a longer session the difference is noticeable.
-
02
Set a budget beforehand. Decide how much you are willing to lose before you start playing, and stick to that limit.
-
03
Start with outside bets. Red/black or odd/even bets give you a better chance of winning and your bankroll reduces more slowly.
-
04
Do not raise your bets after a big loss. Placing large bets quickly to recover losses is a fast way to run through your bankroll.
-
05
Take breaks during your session. Playing without stopping reduces your focus — short breaks help you keep making clear decisions.

Live Dealer vs Digital Roulette
r77 offers two types of roulette experience. Which one suits you depends on what kind of environment you prefer and how much time you have.
Live Dealer Roulette
- Trained dealers in real studios stream live
- Chat with the dealer and other players via the chat box
- You can see a physical wheel and ball, which many players find more credible
- Tables from multiple studios including Evolution, Pragmatic Play Live and Ezugi
- A slow internet connection may interrupt the stream
- Betting time is fixed — you need to decide quickly
Digital Roulette (RNG)
- Play at your own pace with no time pressure
- Works well even with a weak internet connection
- Good for practising different bet types
- Every spin is completely random, determined by RNG
- No social interaction
- Does not provide the same visual experience as a live table
What is the minimum bet to get started
Roulette tables at r77 are designed with players of different budgets in mind. If you want to start with a small budget, you can choose a lower-limit table, and there are also high-limit tables for experienced players.
Live dealer tables generally have a slightly higher minimum bet than digital tables, as they involve real operational costs. The minimum and maximum limits are clearly displayed on each table before you place any bets.
Inside and outside bet limits are usually different — outside bet limits may be higher. You can switch tables at any time, so if a table does not feel right, moving to one with different limits is straightforward.
Slots games also allow you to start with small stakes, which makes them popular among new players.
