pk Roulette — Spin the Wheel and Play Your Way
Roulette is one of the most recognised casino games in the world. At pk you can play European, American and live dealer versions — learn the bet types, payouts and strategies, then take a seat at the table of your choice.
How a Round of Roulette Works
A roulette table has a circular wheel with numbers from 0 to 36. European roulette has a single zero (0); the American version adds a double zero (00), which increases the house edge.
A round begins with the betting phase — players place chips on designated spots on the table. The dealer then releases the ball in the opposite direction to the spinning wheel. The wheel keeps spinning and the ball settles on a number — everyone who bet on that number or colour receives a payout.
Once the betting time is up, the dealer announces "no more bets" and no further changes can be made. After the result is announced, winnings are automatically added to your balance and a new round begins.
On pk's pk Casino platform, you can watch this entire process in real time at live dealer tables with high-quality streaming.
Bet Types and Payouts
There are two types of bets in roulette — inside bets (on specific numbers on the inner part of the table) and outside bets (on larger groups). Inside bets pay more but are harder to win; outside bets pay less but give you a better chance.
Straight Bet (single number)
Place a chip on one number and if it comes up you get a 35:1 payout. The probability is low, but the return is the highest available.
Payout 35:1Split Bet (two numbers)
Place a chip on the line between two adjacent numbers and if either comes up you get 17:1.
Payout 17:1Street Bet (three numbers)
Covers all three numbers in a row; if any of them comes up you get an 11:1 payout.
Payout 11:1Corner Bet (four numbers)
Place a chip at the corner where four adjacent numbers meet and if any of them comes up you get 8:1.
Payout 8:1Red or Black (even money)
Bet on all red or all black numbers — if any number of that colour comes up you get a 1:1 payout. Almost a 50/50 chance (excluding zero).
Payout 1:1Dozen and Column Bets
Bet on one of the three dozens — 1–12, 13–24 or 25–36 — or on one of the three columns, and you get a 2:1 payout.
Payout 2:1House Edge — How Each Version Compares
What is the house edge and why does it matter?
The house edge is the casino's mathematical advantage over the long run. European roulette has 37 slots (0–36), which gives it a relatively low house edge — the straight bet pays 35:1 but there are 37 slots in total, so the casino gains one unit of advantage.
American roulette has 38 slots (including both 0 and 00), so the house edge on the same bet is nearly double. New players are generally better off choosing the European or French version.
French roulette has a special rule called "La Partage" — if the ball lands on 0, half of all even-money bets are returned to the player, which reduces the house edge even further.
Keep in mind that the house edge is a long-term statistical figure — each spin is completely independent and previous results have no effect on the next spin.
A Quick Comparison
- EU European Roulette — single zero, relatively low house edge. The best option to start with.
- FR French Roulette — the La Partage rule gives even-money bets the lowest house edge of all.
- US American Roulette — two zeros (0 and 00), the highest house edge. Most experienced players avoid it.
Strategy Tips for New Players
Roulette is a completely random game — no strategy can guarantee a win. However, following a few principles can make your session more controlled and enjoyable.
- 1 Set a budget before you start — decide how much you are willing to play with and do not go beyond that limit.
- 2 Choose the European version — the lower house edge means your balance lasts longer over time.
- 3 Start with outside bets — red/black or odd/even bets give you close to a 50% chance and your balance does not run out quickly.
- 4 Take breaks instead of playing for long stretches — each spin is independent, so the idea that "I've lost a few so I'm due a win" is not correct.
- 5 Be careful with the Martingale system — doubling your bet after every loss can lead to large losses quickly.
- 6 Read the terms before you play — you'll find detailed guidance on the Responsible Gaming page.
