Play Roulette Online
Roulette is still just a ball whizzing round a wheel - no frills, no fancy features - but the array of bets and the drama in every spin make online roulette one of the most played UK casino games at PlayOJO in 2026.
There are two parts to a game of roulette; the roulette wheel with numbered pockets, and the roulette table where the bets are placed. Most UK online roulette wheels have 37 numbers from 0 to 36, and the winning number is chosen in different ways, depending on the type of table you play.
Live dealer roulette uses a real wheel and ball, whereas RNG roulette - the game played at online casinos since the mid-2000s - is powered by software and a random number generator.
Real money online roulette is incredibly easy to play. You don’t need any special skills or knowledge about bet types, payout odds or probabilities. Just choose your chip value, place bets on numbers or groups of numbers, and wait for the ball to drop.
How Roulette Stacks Up Vs Other Games
Unlike blackjack which has an element of strategy and decision-making during the game, roulette is pure chance, with no interaction. It’s popular because of its iconic identity, but also because it has a much higher range of bets and odds than other table games.
Even though roulette bets have payouts of up to 35 to 1, it’s still a much lower volatility game than slots. That means more frequent wins, especially on bets like red or black, and that makes it easier to budget.
Online roulette suits players who aren’t in a hurry, or who like to watch the drama of the ‘big reveal’, as the ball often bounces in and out of numbers.
It’s also popular with players who like to delve into the fascinating world of roulette variants, special bets, and strategies.
Bets at our fully regulated online roulette tables typically start from 20p, though for high rollers PlayOJO has online roulette tables with stakes as high as £5,000 for certain bets.
All of our roulette games have time alerts to help players keep track of time, and there are deposit and spend limit features to ensure roulette is always just a bit of affordable fun.
Types of Roulette - A Table to Suit Everyone
Roulette online can be split into 3 basic variants - European Roulette, French Roulette and American Roulette.
The main difference is the number of green zeros. European and French versions have one green zero, while American roulette has two zeros. That second zero gives you more options, but it also reduces the Return To Player.
Roulette RTPs are generally higher than most slots, though not as high as Blackjack and Baccarat.
European Roulette: 97.30%
French Roulette: 97.30% / 98.65% (Even Money Bets Only)
American roulette: 94.74%
European roulette is by far the most popular game in the UK, and that’s true at PlayOJO, where all 6 roulette games in the Top 10 overall casino games in 2026 are European roulette.
Once you’ve chosen the type you want to play, you still need to choose between RNG roulette and live roulette.
RNG roulette is a computer programme that uses a random number generator to choose numbers. These games are fast, private and put the player in total control. Live roulette tables are filmed in a real TV studio with human croupiers, creating an experience that is much closer to what you’d find in a brick-and-mortar casino.
Popular examples of RNG roulette include 20p Roulette from Inspired, and First Person Roulette from Evolution Gaming. If you’re looking for the perfect example of traditional online roulette, 20p Roulette is the one. No fancy graphics or waiting around, with everything tailored to simplicity and speed.
Roulette bets and odds
There are over 200 individual bets on a roulette table, from single numbers with the highest odds to bet types that cover multiple numbers or even big sections of the wheel.
Bets with lower odds such as red or black are much more likely to win, and best suited to players who like frequent, predictable action.

FAQs
What is RNG roulette and why do some players prefer it?
Any online roulette game that doesn’t use a live dealer, where the game outcome is determined by a random number generator. It’s popular because you get your own table, and there’s no waiting for the dealer to spin the wheel, or rush to get your bets on, because you decide when to press Spin.
What’s the difference between European and American roulette?
American Roulette has a second green zero, which increases the number of different bet types, but also reduces the Return To Player. The Basket Bet, covering 00-0-1-2-3, is unique to American Roulette and has the lowest RTP of any roulette bet.
What are the best roulette strategies?
Because roulette tables display recent results in an easy-to-understand way, many roulette players love picking their numbers using systems like Martingale or the d’Alembert strategy. These roulette strategies are betting systems, recommending an increase or decrease in stake. None of the popular roulette strategies we have analysed can consistently outperform luck, because you cannot get around the house edge. But online roulette communities often cite the Martingale system as the best, probably because it’s the simplest to learn. Always take care when using roulette strategies, and keep betting under control.
How do you manage your bankroll in roulette?
Choose how much you’re happy to spend on roulette or any online casino game is essential, if you want the game to be fun. Think about how long you want to play, how many spins that might be, and what your total budget is. If you’re happy to lose £50 and you’ve got 200 spins to play with, that’s 25p per spin, assuming you lose on every spin. You can also use our Safer Gambling tools to plan and keep track of your play.
Can you win real money playing online roulette?
All online roulette games at PlayOJO are real money gambling games, though some have Try For Free versions for registered players. That means you can place real money bets and win real money. Every spin is random, so anyone can win in theory. Just remember that the house wins in the end, because of the built-in roulette house edge. It’s impossible to win money playing roulette in the long run, which is why betting should always be seen as a bit of fun.
How do live roulette games work?
Live roulette is a relatively new version of roulette online that involves human croupiers, physical wheels and tables, and HD live streams.
What are inside and outside bets in roulette?
Inside bets is a term for all of the roulette betting options that occupy the inside area of a roulette table, where the numbers are. Examples include straight up single numbers, splits and streets.
Outside bets are outside that numbered area, and generally involve large groups of numbers like Dozens or Red. They’re an easy way to bet on one third or one half of the wheel with one chip.
What are sector bets?
Sector bets are ways to bet on sectors of the roulette wheel. Tiers Du Cylindre, Orphelins and Neighbours are all sector bets that allow you to bet on as many as 5 or more numbers in a row on the wheel. You can find sector bets at our online roulette tables in the Specials section, or on the Racetrack. You can also learn about how they work and their payout odds in each game’s roulette rules.
Is online roulette fair and regulated?
Online roulette needs to be completely random and unpredictable, whether it's powered by a random number generator or a wheel made by a manufacturer. All of our games are regulated by the UK Gambling Commission and certified by UKGC-approved testing houses, which means they are created and proven to work to certain standards of fairness. This makes sure every spin is random and independent of the last.

Does PlayOJO have comp points for roulette games?
Yes, we call it OJOplus. Every time a player places a real money roulette bet, they get a small percentage of that bet back, whether their roulette bet won or lost. It goes into their OJOplus balance, and can be converted into cash balance any time, with no conditions at all.
How long does it take to cash out if I win at roulette?
