Online Roulette Is a Classic Casino Game of Chance Built Around One Spinning Wheel
Roulette is a game where you bet on where a ball will land on a spinning wheel. The roulette wheel has pockets with numbers ranging from 1 to 36, alternating red and black, plus one or two green zero pockets depending on the variant. The croupier (or RNG engine online) spins the wheel, drops the ball, and winners are paid based on what they bet.
The rules of roulette are straightforward:
- Place your chips on the roulette table before the spin begins.
- Choose your type of bet: a single number, groups of numbers, red or black, odd or even.
- The croupier releases the ball onto the spinning wheel.
- The ball lands on a specific number. Matching bets are paid out at fixed odds.
Roulette remains one of the most played casino games in Australia and globally, because the rules are fast to learn and the range of bets suits both cautious and bold players.
European, French, and American Roulette Online: Which Game Gives You Better Odds?
Three main versions of online roulette are available at Reels of Joy. The difference between them comes down to the number of zeros on the roulette wheel and the special rules that apply.
| Variant | Zeros | House Edge | RTP | Special Rules |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| French Roulette | 1 (single zero) | 1.35% on even bets | 98.65% | La Partage, En Prison |
| European Roulette | 1 (single zero) | 2.70% | 97.30% | Neighbour bets available |
| American Roulette | 2 (zero + double zero) | 5.26% | 94.74% | 5-number bet only |
European Roulette Online: Lower House Edge, More Bet Options
European roulette uses a single zero wheel with 37 pockets (numbers 1 to 36 plus one green zero). The house edge sits at 2.70%. Because there is only one zero, your chances of winning on outside bets are noticeably better compared to the American version.
You also get access to neighbour bets and call bets through a racetrack interface. These let you cover a section of the roulette wheel in one move rather than placing chips one by one.
French Roulette: The Best RTP in Australian Roulette Online
French roulette shares the same single zero wheel as the European version but adds two player-friendly rules:
- La Partage: If the ball lands on zero, you recover half your stake on all even-money bets (red or black, odd or even, high or low).
- En Prison: Instead of losing your even-money bet when zero hits, the bet is 'imprisoned' for one more spin. Win that spin and your stake is returned in full.
These two rules push the house edge down to 1.35% on even-money bets, giving French roulette the highest RTP of any version available here. Australian roulette players who focus on outside bets get the best long-run value from French roulette.
American Roulette: Higher Risk, Authentic US Casino Feel
American roulette increases the wheel's number of pockets to 38 by adding a double zero pocket. That extra zero is the reason the house edge jumps to 5.26%. Every bet type is affected by this second zero, including a special five-number wager that includes the numbers 0, 00, 1, 2, and 3. It has a house edge of 7.89% but pays 6:1. Some players prefer American roulette for the authentic atmosphere. The risk is real, so it suits players who want higher volatility and a fast-paced game.
Roulette Betting: Inside Bets, Outside Bets, and the Payouts You Can Win
Every bet you place at the roulette table falls into one of two categories: inside bets or outside bets. Inside bets cover single numbers or small groups of numbers inside the main grid. Outside bets cover larger groups of numbers positioned around the outside of the betting table.
| Bet Type | Coverage | Payout | Bet Category |
|---|---|---|---|
| Straight Up | 1 specific number | 35:1 | Inside |
| Split | 2 adjacent numbers | 17:1 | Inside |
| Street | 3 numbers in a row | 11:1 | Inside |
| Corner / Square | 4 numbers in a square | 8:1 | Inside |
| Six Line | 6 numbers across 2 rows | 5:1 | Inside |
| Dozen | Groups of 12 numbers | 2:1 | Outside |
| Column | 12-number column | 2:1 | Outside |
| Red or Black | 18 numbers by colour | 1:1 | Outside |
| Odd or Even | 18 numbers by type | 1:1 | Outside |
| High or Low | 1-18 or 19-36 | 1:1 | Outside |
Outside bets win more often but pay less. A bet on red or black wins close to 48.6% of the time in European roulette. Inside bets on single numbers pay 35:1 but win only 2.7% of the time.
The multiplier on any bet is fixed by the rules of the game, not by the casino. RTG roulette games at Reels of Joy pay the standard published odds on every spin.
Call Bets and Neighbour Bets: Advanced Roulette Games for Experienced Players
Beyond the standard betting table, European and French roulette offer advanced wagers called call bets (also known as announced bets). These cover sections of the roulette wheel by physical position rather than by number grouping.
- Voisins du Zero: Covers the 17 numbers closest to zero on the wheel. Requires 9 chips.
- Tiers du Cylindre: Covers 12 numbers on the opposite side of the wheel to zero. Requires 6 chips.
- Orphelins: Covers the 8 numbers not included in the two sections above. Requires 5 chips.
- Neighbour Bets: Covers a chosen number plus 2 numbers on either side on the wheel. Requires 5 chips per selection.
These bets are placed via the racetrack interface in the game. They are not available in American roulette

Roulette Strategy at Reels of Joy: What Works and What the Maths Actually Says
No roulette strategy eliminates the house edge. The maths is fixed into the wheel design. What a strategy can do is help you manage your bankroll, structure your bets, and avoid losing your balance on a single spin.
Here are the three most commonly used systems:
| Strategy | How It Works | Risk Level | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Martingale | Double your bet after every loss. Reset after a win. | High (bankroll can drain fast) | Short sessions, even-money bets |
| Fibonacci | Follow the 1-1-2-3-5-8-13 sequence. Move up on a loss, back two steps on a win. | Medium | Measured play on outside bets |
| D'Alembert | Increase bet by 1 unit on a loss, decrease by 1 unit on a win. | Low-Medium | Beginners building consistency |
All three strategies work best on outside bets such as red or black or odd or even. The Martingale is the most aggressive because a losing streak grows your required bet on roulette exponentially. With European roulette at a 2.70% house edge, the maths always favours the house over a long enough session. Strategies manage risk, they do not reverse the mathematics of the game.
One consistent tip that applies across all online roulette games: choose European or French roulette over American roulette whenever available. The single zero wheel gives you a lower house edge on every single type of bet.
Multi-Wheel Roulette and Mini Roulette: More Ways to Play Online Roulette Games
Beyond the classic three variants, Reels of Joy also offers:
- Multi-wheel roulette: Place your bets once and watch them play across multiple wheels simultaneously. Your wager is spread across all active wheels, and each wheel result is independent. More action, faster results.
- Mini roulette: A scaled-down version with only 13 pockets (numbers 1 to 12 plus a single zero). The house edge is higher than standard European roulette, but the game moves fast and suits lower stakes play.
All roulette variations are playable on desktop or mobile in your browser. No app required.

Is Online Roulette Legal in Australia? Casinos in Australia and Licensing
Online gambling laws in Australia operate under the Interactive Gambling Act 2001. Australian players can legally access and play at licensed casino sites, including Reels of Joy. What the law restricts is the provision of interactive gambling services from within Australian borders, not the act of playing at a licensed overseas platform.
Playing at unlicensed gambling sites carries risk because there is no licensing authority to handle disputes. Licensed platforms like Reels of Joy provide a regulatory channel if a complaint needs to be escalated.
Top online roulette sites operating for Australian players hold reputable casino licences that are recognised in Australia. Always confirm a site's licence before making a first deposit.

Online Roulette FAQs at Reels of Joy Casino
Can you play online roulette for real money in Australia?
Yes. Australian players can legally access licensed casino sites and play roulette for real money in AUD. Reels of Joy is licensed and accepts Australian players.
What is the best roulette variant to play at Reels of Joy?
French roulette gives you the highest RTP at 98.65% on even-money bets due to the La Partage rule. European roulette follows at 97.30%. American roulette has the highest house edge at 5.26% because of the double zero.
What is the La Partage rule and how does it affect my bets?
La Partage applies in French roulette. When the ball lands on zero, you receive half your stake back on all even-money bets (red or black, odd or even, high or low). This rule alone cuts the house edge from 2.70% to 1.35% on those bets.
What is the En Prison rule in roulette?
En Prison applies to even-money bets in French roulette. When zero hits, instead of losing your stake, the bet is held for one more spin. If that spin wins, your full original stake is returned. If it loses, the bet is forfeited. It produces the same mathematical outcome as La Partage.
Does the Martingale strategy work in online roulette?
The Martingale system does not eliminate the house edge. It structures your bets by doubling after each loss, which recovers all previous losses plus a unit profit when you win. The risk is that a losing streak of five or six spins creates a required bet that can exceed table limits or deplete your bankroll. It works for short sessions but carries real bankroll risk over time.
What are neighbour bets in roulette?
A neighbour bet covers a chosen number plus the two numbers on either side of it on the physical roulette wheel. In total, one neighbour bet covers five numbers. The bet requires five chips. It is available in European and French roulette via the racetrack interface.
What is the difference between inside bets and outside bets in roulette?
Inside bets are placed on specific numbers or small groups within the main number grid on the betting table. They pay higher odds (up to 35:1) but win less often. Outside bets cover larger sections like red or black, odd or even, or dozens, and pay 1:1 or 2:1 but win more frequently.
Can I play free online roulette at Reels of Joy?
Yes. Our free roulette simulator lets you play every roulette variant using practice credits. No deposit required to access the demo mode. Select the game from the Table Games section and choose the free play option before a real money session.
What is multi-wheel roulette?
Multi-wheel roulette lets you place one set of bets that simultaneously plays across multiple roulette wheels. Each wheel spins independently, and results are calculated per wheel. It speeds up the pace significantly compared to a standard single-wheel game.
What banking methods can I use for roulette deposits?
Reels of Joy accepts debit cards (min $20), crypto wallets (min $20, max $100,000), Neosurf vouchers (min $10), and bank transfers for withdrawals. Crypto is the fastest method for both deposits and withdrawals.
How long do roulette withdrawals take?
Withdrawals are processed within 24 hours of submission. Crypto payouts typically arrive within hours after approval. Debit card and bank transfer withdrawals take 2 to 5 business days after processing completes at our end.
Is online roulette at Reels of Joy fair?
All roulette games run on Real Time Gaming's certified RNG system, independently tested by Technical Systems Testing (TST Global). Every spin is random and independent of all previous results.
What is the minimum bet for online roulette in AUD?

What is the welcome bonus for new roulette players?

Note that roulette contributes 10% to 20% toward wagering clearance. Withdrawal limit is 10x your deposit amount.
What is a roulette croupier in an online game?
In a physical casino, the croupier is the dealer who spins the roulette wheel and manages bets on the table. In online RNG roulette at Reels of Joy, the croupier role is automated by the game's RNG engine. There are no live dealer games on our platform currently. All roulette games use digital simulation with certified random outcomes.
