Discover Live Roulette at PokerStars Casino

Red, or black?

The question remains the same, but this time you can bring the thrill of Live Roulette to the comfort of your own home.

Unlike your usual online roulette games which use RNGs (Random Number Generators) to determine where the ball lands, online Live Roulette works with a real ball, a real wheel and a living, breathing dealer waiting for you to make your call.

With the help of some high-definition cameras, it’s as close as you can get to the real thing without being in a casino yourself – and you don’t even have to leave your armchair.

No online casino is complete without a few Live Roulette tables.

Choose your game, and take a seat

There are three main core types of Live Roulette. Each one is slightly different, and each has its own intricacies and strategies. They include:

  • American Roulette: American roulette has 36 numbered slots with a single zero and a double zero slot. These two zero slots give a house edge of 5.26%.
  • European Roulette: This variant has the same 36 numbered slots as American roulette, but with just one zero slot. This lowers the house edge to 2.7%.
  • French Roulette: French roulette has exactly the same wheel layout as European roulette but adds in some additional rules like La Partage and En Prison.

Immerse yourself in the action

At PokerStars Casino we’ve got a plethora of different Live Roulette tables that are always on, meaning you can pick the time, place and dealer.

Each table will have its own unique look and feel, giving you plenty of choice to decide where you feel most comfortable. Whether you’ve got a trusted favorite seat or like to branch out and try new tables, you’ll find there’s something for players of all tastes and experience levels with our array of online Live Roulette tables.

Once you’ve picked where you’d like to play, expect the dealer to welcome you to the table, commentate on your plays and engage with you as you play. Prepare for multiple dynamic camera angles, chat options and close-ups to enhance your gameplay – all from the comfort of your own home.

Bet types in Live Roulette

Think it’s just a case of choosing red or black?

Think again. There’s a whole range of different possible outcomes you can choose from at the Live Roulette tables, and they all fall into two main categories: outside bets and inside bets.

Examples of outside bets include:

  • Red or black: The classic choice – bet on whether the ball lands on a red or black number.
  • Odds or evens: Bet on the ball landing on an odd or even number.
  • High or low: Choose whether you think the ball will land on a low number (1-18) or a high number (19-36).

Examples of inside bets include:

  • Street: Bet on three consecutive numbers in a horizontal line, such as 7, 8 and 9.
  • Corner: Placing a bet on four numbers that meet in a corner, like 10, 11, 13 and 14.
  • Straight: Bet on a single number.

Betting on outside bets is generally seen as the safer option, as you’ve generally got a higher chance of your bet winning. Inside bets are less likely to result in a win, but will award a bigger payout if they come in.
