It is no secret that there are a few gaming favourites that casino goers, new and existing, seem to gravitate towards, with one of these being the casino classic; Roulette.
But how has Roulette remained on top of players ‘go to’ games when entering both a land-based and online casino?
Read on as we delve into some of the Roulette games available on the online casino lobby floor, to see if together, we can discover the answer.

- 8 to 1 – Corner bet – a stake placed in the intersection of a square of four numbers.
- 11 to 1 – Street bet – a row of three numbers.

20p Roulette
Now let’s take a look at a game of Roulette that can be found online, within many virtual lobbies, offering the chance to all players, no matter if they can only afford a few spins of the wheel for a few pennies or a few pounds at a time.
Perhaps we’re getting one step closer to finding out why this number game is so popular!
20p Roulette is played using the European wheel, with numbers from 0-36, and the corresponding table layout.
To get the wheel spinning, you do require at least 1.00 credits to be placed in total on the table.
Keeping track of the total amount placed on the table is easy, as there is a total stakes amount displayed at all times on your screen.
Setting a bet
To place a bet, you’ll need to place down chips on the Roulette table, by selecting the position that represents your bet on the table, just like those mentioned above.
Chips are worth 0.20 coins – as the name suggests – but this can be altered depending on how much you’d like to wager on each position placed.
It is also good to point out that you can place more than one bet in numerous positions within the table layout.
If you are on your second or more spin, you can select the ‘Repeat Bet’ button, which will place the same bets as your previous game, if you wish to place the same bets as before.
If, however, when placing your bets, accidentally place a chip in the wrong position to where you wanted it to go, you can press either ‘Clear All Bets’ or ‘Clear Last Bet’.
When you’re happy with where your chips are placed, simply press ‘BET’, or if you’re playing on desktop, you can press your spacebar, and the wheel will spin.
If you guessed correctly, you will be awarded your winning instantly, if you predicted incorrectly, your chips will be cleared and your bet amount will be lost.
— With the ease of gameplay, it is no surprise that Roulette has stayed on top of players ‘to play’ list, with so many now seeking a game both on and off-line.
