How to play new roulette games

New roulette games keep the wheel and change the rules around it: multipliers on random numbers, a second ball, faster rounds or a jackpot side bet. Each change moves either the payouts or the pace.

Start from the base: a single-zero European wheel has a 2.7% house edge. Then read how the variant changes it.

How to play

  1. Open the help screen and read the payout table.
  2. Place chips before betting closes.
  3. Watch the result and the multipliers, if any.
  4. Keep a fixed stake; no staking system changes the edge.

Responsible play

Speed tables can run more than 80 rounds an hour. Set a loss limit and a time limit, and stop when either is reached. Our roulette hub compares wheels and casinos.

Questions

New roulette games: questions

Do multipliers change the 35:1 payout?

Yes. In Lightning Roulette a straight-up win without a multiplier pays 29:1.

Can I place outside bets in Lightning Roulette?

Are multipliers random?

Yes, generated by certified random number generators at licensed studios.

Do UK stake limits apply to roulette?

No. They apply to online slots only.

Responsible gaming

Play only if you are 18+ and it stays fun

These rules apply on every page of this site. A young casino has less history to judge it by, so the limits matter more.

18+ only

Adults only, everywhere

You must be 18 or older. A licensed casino must check your age and identity before you can deposit or play, so have your ID ready when you register.
