Playing Roulette Online

In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to play roulette online and cover all the essentials you need to play. Not a fan of the traditional roulette game? You can also try our unique takes on the game, including Bingo Roulette and Tombola Roulette.

How to play roulette?

Roulette is a fast-paced game where you bet on where a ball will land on a spinning wheel. You can place bets of up to £10, with a chance to win 36 times your stake if you correctly guess the exact number. But that’s just one way to play. There are plenty of other betting options like Red or Black, Odd or Even, or picking a group of numbers like the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd 12.

Want to mix it up? You can spread your bets however you like, for example, £2 on the last third, £1 on a 2 to 1 line, and 25p on individual numbers. This gives you more chances to win with different combinations.

Unlike some other versions like bingo Roulette or tombola Roulette, standard roulette offers more betting choices, and if you win, the prize is all yours (no sharing!). As the game plays, the table shifts to show the spinning wheel, and the winning number pops up in the top right corner.

It’s quick, exciting, and full of ways to play!

bingo Roulette

This game blends the buzz of bingo with the thrill of roulette. Players pick their numbers by placing chips on numbered squares from 0 to 36—just like marking off a bingo ticket. The goal is to be the first to cover all the numbers on a single ticket using chips of the same colour to win.

Each player can play with up to four different coloured tickets, giving more chances to join the action. If there’s more than one winner, the prize is shared between them.

tombola Roulette

If your number comes up, you’ll win 36 times your stake. Each room can host up to 40 players, so there’s always plenty of action and excitement.
