Online roulette — three formats, one balance
Roulette is one of the most searched casino games. At Afunbet it exists in three formats: virtual table (certified RNG), live roulette with a real dealer and French roulette with the La Partage rule. This guide explains the technical difference between each before you bet.
The three types of online roulette
European roulette (virtual table)
Wheel with 37 numbers (0 to 36), a single zero. RTP of 97.30% on simple bets (red/black, odd/even). Audited RNG engine, instant result, no waiting for other players. Ideal for practicing strategies like Martingale or Fibonacci without a crowded table.
Play virtual table ↗Live roulette (live dealer)
HD broadcast with a real dealer in studio, table with up to 500 simultaneous players and English chat. Same European format (RTP 97.30%), but with visual verification of every spin — the ball spins and lands in front of the camera. Bets from $1.
Join live ↗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.

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