Live Roulette: Enjoy Live Dealer Roulette at PlayUK

Enjoy the thrill of the ball landing on your number in PlayUK’s brilliant collection of live dealer roulette games.

Live roulette lets you experience the excitement and drama of visiting a casino to play this iconic game, but all from the comfort of your own home.

Play standard European roulette or test yourself against fun variations of the game, all run by real dealers at our fully-licensed UK casino.

Introducing Live Roulette

Live roulette is part of the live casino games section at PlayUK. Rather than a computerised version of this classic table game, live roulette features a real, human croupier.

Our live dealers are in a proper casino studio, using a genuine roulette table and wheel, and the action is filmed live and streamed through PlayUK right to your device. You can chat to the dealer in real time, or to other players at the table.

Your betting options are laid out in graphics at the bottom of the screen, so you can place your bets and watch the wheel spin just as you would in a traditional brick-and-mortar casino.

How to Play Live Roulette: Your Betting Choice and Payouts

If you’re new to roulette, the good news is it’s a very easy game to get to grips with. The wheel is split into 37 pockets numbered 0-36, and the winner is decided by where the white ball lands when the wheel slows down. You win if you placed a bet on the winning number.

The engaging thing about roulette is that you have so many different ways you can place bets on each round, depending on your risk aversion. You can place safer bets with lower payouts, or riskier ones that offer much bigger wins.

Inside Bets

The higher payout bets are the inside bets. On the table layout, these are the numbers 1-36 laid out in nine rows of three. You can bet on a single number in the hope that it comes in, or straddle two numbers, a row or two rows of numbers, or four numbers at a time. 

Outside Bets

Around the outside of the numbers are the outside bets. Here, you can bet on a much larger group of numbers at a time, giving you a bigger chance of winning, albeit for a smaller payout. You can bet on red or black, odd or even, 1-18 or 19-36, or one of three dozens bets.

The Zero

The green zero has special significance in roulette. If the ball lands on zero, all other bets are lost. This is where casinos get their house edge in roulette, and it explains why even-money bets like red or black are not really 50/50 shots. With the green zero, you actually have a 48.65% chance of winning.

This table outlines all the bets you can place in European Roulette, which is by far the most common version of the game.

Bet Name	The Bet	The Payout
Inside Bets
Straight-up	A single number bet	35:1
Split	Two side-by-side numbers	17:1
Street	Three numbers in a row	11:1
Corner	Four numbers in a square	8:1
Six Line	Six numbers over 2 rows	5:1
Outside Bets
Column	A column of 12 numbers	2:1
Dozen	The first, second or third set of 12 numbers	2:1
Red or Black	All red or black positions	1:1
Even or Odd	All odd or even numbers	1:1
1-18 or 19-36	All high or low numbers	1:1

While there are different versions of roulette, such as American and French roulette, European roulette is the most common game at PlayUK.

Top Live Dealer Roulette Games at Play UK

We’ve got an excellent live roulette selection, so you can mix and match your playing sessions to suit your mood. Here are some of our top recommendations:

Casino Malta Roulette

Rather than being streamed from a studio, this game comes to you directly from the casino floor at Casino Malta. Because it’s a real-time casino game, you have more time to place your bets, which makes this version ideal if you’re getting used to how to play roulette games.

Immersive Roulette

The most engaging roulette in the house, Immersive Roulette features additional high definition camera angles, so you can follow the action exactly as you like it. There are also more statistics available, showing the results of the previous 500 spins, helping you track your hot or cold numbers.

Red Door Roulette

For something a little different, this game from Evolution adds a special twist: a bonus round taken from its popular Crazy Time live game show. With each spin, numbers are selected at random, and if that number comes in, then everyone who placed a straight-up bet on it wins and then goes through to the Crazy Time bonus round for additional prizes.

VIP Roulette

As the name suggests, this live dealer roulette game from Evolution is reserved exclusively for high rollers, with the minimum bet starting at £5, as opposed to the 50p to £1 range in most other live roulette games.

Lightning Roulette

This electrifying live dealer roulette game features up to 5 lucky lightning numbers. If you bet on one of those winning numbers, your payout will increase by a random multiplier, from 50x to 500x, bringing much larger potential payouts.

Live Roulette v RNG Games

The obvious difference between our live dealer roulette games and RNG-driven computerised versions is that professional, friendly real dealers host the live ones. Here’s a summary.

RNG Roulette	Live Dealer Roulette
Super fast, at your own pace	Slower pace determined by a human dealer
Start playing for smaller stakes, like 10p Roulette	Usually start at slightly higher stakes, either 50p or £1
Random number generators determine the outcomes	The dealer spins a real roulette wheel to see where the ball lands
Play on your own	Others play alongside you, and you can chat to them in the chat box

Roulette Strategy

The key thing to remember is that roulette is a game of luck. You nor anything else can influence the pocket the white ball falls into. Every spin of the wheel has the same odds, so previous results have no bearing on future spins.

So how can you get more from your live roulette sessions? The best tip is to bet smaller in relation to your account size. Losing streaks can happen, so you want to be able to soak these up without running your account dry.

If you get lucky and get a nice win from a spin, don’t then increase your bet size on the next one. Stick to your normal bet size so you have a better chance of banking a profit when you stop playing.

Never chase your losses, as this is a fast road to draining your account balance.

Live Dealer Roulette on Mobile

The live casino games at PlayUK work superbly on any device, because they all adapt automatically to your screen size. Some games also let you switch the camera angle to your own preference, which you might find easier on a mobile.

Placing bets is simple, and everything is buttery smooth as long as you have a decent connection, so we suggest you play while connected to a reliable WiFi network.
