Online roulette — three formats, one balance

Online roulette may appear as a virtual table, live roulette or French roulette with the La Partage rule. This guide explains the mathematical and rules-based differences; confirm formats, limits and conditions available in your account before you bet.

The three types of online roulette

European roulette (virtual table)

European roulette uses a wheel with 37 numbers, from 0 to 36, and a single zero. On simple bets, the theoretical house edge is 2.70%. Check the outcome method, table version and limits displayed on screen before joining.

Live roulette (live dealer)

Live roulette commonly shows a wheel and dealer through a video broadcast. Before joining, check the provider, availability, language, rules, connection requirements and table limits in the lobby.

French roulette (La Partage)

Also uses a 37-number wheel, but with the La Partage rule: if the ball lands on zero, simple bets (red/black, odd/even, high/low) get half the stake back instead of losing everything. This lowers the house edge to 1.35% on those bets — the lowest of the three formats.

House edge by bet type

The house edge changes depending on the format and bet type. Here are the published numbers for each version:

European roulette — simple bets and straight numbers 2.70% house edge (RTP 97.30%)
French roulette — simple bets with La Partage 1.35% house edge (RTP 98.65% on those bets)
Live roulette — same European format, with a real dealer 2.70% house edge (RTP 97.30%)

Common strategies and what they actually do

Martingale (doubling the bet after a loss) and Fibonacci (progressive sequence) are bankroll management systems — neither changes the mathematical probability of each spin, because roulette has no memory. Each spin is independent of the previous one. These systems only change the pace at which the balance rises or falls, and can drain it faster during losing streaks.

See the full RTP and volatility guide on the slot strategy page.

Frequently asked questions

Both use the same 37-number wheel (0 to 36, a single zero), but French roulette applies the La Partage rule: if the ball lands on zero, simple bets (red/black, odd/even, high/low) get half the stake back instead of losing it all. This lowers the house edge from 2.70% to 1.35% on those specific bets.
That cannot be concluded from an informational page alone. Check the outcome method, rules and provider documentation displayed in the game. In any format, past results do not predict the next spin, and RTP is a long-term theoretical metric.
The limit depends on the table, currency, session and conditions shown in your account. Open the selected table and confirm the displayed minimum and maximum before betting.
Martingale and Fibonacci are bankroll management systems, not systems that change the game probability. Since each roulette spin is mathematically independent of the previous one, no betting progression changes the house edge (2.70% on European, 1.35% on French with La Partage). These systems only change the speed at which the balance rises or falls.
