Roulette Games for Online Casinos: Which Wheel to Add, What It Pays and What It Costs

By Games4Titans · November 3, 2026

Every lobby that calls itself a casino is expected to have a wheel. A player who has never opened a slot knows what roulette is, knows what red and black pay, and knows that a straight-up number is the long shot. That shared knowledge is the whole case for roulette games for online casinos: the game needs no tutorial, it carries its own reputation, and a single well-chosen wheel serves the cautious even-money player and the straight-up gambler in the same session.

This guide covers what operators ask before adding a wheel: how the main variants differ and where the house edge actually comes from, what the published RTP of each variant means for margin, which roulette titles exist in our catalogue and what they cost, and why a roulette table earns its place in a sweepstakes or crypto lobby in particular.

Why a lobby needs a wheel, even one built on slots

Slots are the volume. Roulette is the anchor. A table game gives the lobby a second kind of player: the one who wants to decide something before the result arrives. On a wheel the player chooses the bet type, the coverage and the stake, and that choice is the entertainment. There is no bonus round to learn and no paytable to decode; the odds are printed on the felt.

The commercial side is just as plain. Roulette rounds are short, the bet range is wide, and the same table serves the person covering half the board at even money and the person putting one chip on a single number. A lobby with five or ten titles widens its audience more with one roulette table than with another slot, an argument we made for instant titles in the five-game lobby guide and for the broader category in the table games guide.

There is a quieter reason too. Players compare the published RTP of table games more than they compare slots, because the figures are easy to understand. A lobby that shows a 97.30% European wheel beside its slots is making a statement about value without saying a word.

Where the house edge comes from on each wheel

Roulette has no hidden mathematics. The payouts are fixed, the pockets are counted, and the edge is the gap between the two; the bet types and their odds are the standard ones any reference on roulette lists. The variants in our catalogue differ only in how many pockets the wheel carries and what happens to even-money bets when the ball lands on zero.

• European roulette: 37 pockets, one zero, a straight-up number paying 35 to 1. The house keeps one pocket in 37, which is why the published RTP is 97.30%.
• American roulette: 38 pockets, a zero and a double zero, the same 35 to 1 payout. Two pockets in 38 go to the house, and the RTP is 94.74%. The extra pocket roughly doubles the edge for the same bet.
• French roulette: the 37-pocket wheel with the La Partage zero rule. When the ball lands on zero, a bet on red, black, even, odd, low or high loses only half of its stake instead of all of it. On those bets the edge halves, and the published RTP is 98.65%, the highest in the catalogue.
• No Zero roulette: 36 pockets and no zero at all, so an even-money bet is a true 50/50 and a straight-up number pays 35 to 1 on 36 pockets. The house earns instead through a small deduction from every win, shown inside the game as the rake under the table limits. The published RTP is 95.00%.
• Mini roulette: a 13-pocket wheel numbered 0 to 12 with its own paytable, a straight-up number paying 11 to 1, a split 5 to 1, a street 3 to 1, and even money on odd/even, red/black and the three half-dozens. The published RTP is 96.15%.
• Jackpot roulette: the No Zero wheel with a progressive jackpot side bet on top of the ordinary bets, so the table has two ways to pay. The published RTP of the main game is the same 95.00%.

The practical reading is that a straight-up number hits once in 37 spins on the European wheel, once in 38 on the American, once in 36 with no zero and once in 13 on the mini wheel. The payouts are set so that the house keeps its share on average whichever way the player bets, and the published RTP of each title is that average, stated on the game page so an operator can quote it without working it out.

Volatility is the player's choice, not the game's

Operators sometimes ask whether roulette is a high- or low-volatility game. It is both, and the player decides which. An even-money bet on red wins almost every other spin and pays 1 to 1; a straight-up number wins once in 37 and pays 35 to 1. A column or dozen sits in between at 2 to 1. The same wheel, the same RTP, three completely different session shapes.

That is the opposite of a slot, where the volatility is fixed in the mathematics and the player has to trust it. On a wheel the player can see the trade-off on the felt and move along it mid-session. For an operator it means one roulette title covers the cautious player and the chaser at once, and it is why a wheel rarely needs a sibling in the same lobby: one European table does most of the work, and the other variants are there for the players who ask for them by name.

Sixteen roulette titles, and what separates them

Every roulette title in our catalogue runs the same table controls: a chip selector, double-all, clear, rebet and undo, a fast-play switch that skips the ball animation, one-click betting, a choice of table colour, a history strip of previous winning numbers and a statistics screen with hot and cold numbers and the share of red, black, odd and even results. What differs is the wheel, the presentation and, on the newer tables, the betting board.

The 2D tables are the compact, fast ones. European Roulette 2D Advanced is the single-zero wheel with the full betting board, neighbour bets and the statistics panel, and it is the title we recommend as a lobby's first wheel. American Roulette 2D Advanced is the double-zero version for an audience that expects it. French Roulette 2D Advanced adds the La Partage rule. No Zero Roulette 2D removes the zero, and Jackpot Roulette No Zero 2D pairs the zero-free wheel with a progressive jackpot side bet, two ways to win on one table.

The 3D tables are the showpieces. European Roulette 3D Advanced and American Roulette 3D Advanced are the rendered wheels with a dealer, and No Zero Roulette 3D, Jackpot Roulette No Zero 3D and French Roulette 3D Advanced carry the same rules into the 3D presentation. Mini Roulette 3D Advanced is the 13-number wheel with a zoom button for the betting area and portrait-mode support, the one to put in front of a phone-first audience.

Three editions are built for a lobby that wants the wheel to look like its own. European Roulette Neon Lights wraps the single-zero wheel in a neon casino with glowing bet markers, standard European rules, neighbour bets and the statistics panel. European Roulette 3D Imperial Rose Edition and American Roulette 3D Imperial Rose Edition set the two classic wheels in a rose-gold 3D room with detailed chip animation, the American edition keeping the five-number bet and the full statistics.

Finally, Multiplayer European Roulette 3D Advanced and Multiplayer American Roulette 3D Advanced are the social editions, where a table of players bets on the same wheel and the same spin. The European multiplayer table also carries the racetrack: a click on a number in the oval places five chips, one on that number and one on each of its two neighbours on either side of the wheel, which is the bet experienced roulette players look for first.

Every one of the sixteen runs in HTML5 on phones, tablets and desktops without an app, and each has a demo on its page so you can place a few bets before deciding. The full list sits in the catalogue under the table filter.

Roulette for sweepstakes and crypto lobbies

Sweepstakes operators like roulette because a table game is easy to explain under a dual-currency model and easy to run as a promotional title. Our roulette tables carry the Gold Coin and Sweeps Coin wiring, with the text-label currencies and the play-amount terminology the model uses, so one table serves both balances without a second build. The difference between the two currencies is covered in the Gold Coins vs Sweeps Coins guide.

Crypto lobbies ask whether the spin can be checked. All sixteen roulette titles support provably fair verification, the commit-and-reveal method where the outcome is fixed before the round and can be recomputed by the player afterwards. For a wheel that means the pocket the ball lands in can be verified against a value published before the first chip was placed. How the method works, and which other game types carry it, is explained in our provably fair guide.

Both audiences get the same engine underneath. The random number generator behind every title is GLI-19 certified, tested by an independent laboratory against the GLI standards, which are public. The certification covers the RNG, not each individual game, and we say so plainly because compliance teams check. The per-game figures a reviewer asks for are described in our RTP documentation guide.

What it costs to add a wheel

Roulette titles sit in the middle pricing tiers of the catalogue. The one-domain licence prices are printed on each game page: the nine 2D and 3D tables with the European, American, French and No Zero rules, the two Jackpot No Zero tables and Mini Roulette are SILVER at EUR 2,500; the European and American 3D Advanced tables and the two Imperial Rose editions are GOLD at EUR 3,000; European Roulette Neon Lights and the two multiplayer tables are PLATINUM at EUR 4,000. A purchased title carries 0% revenue share, so the price you pay is the whole cost of the game.

Renting works the other way round: a package of games for a fixed monthly minimum of EUR 1000, with no revenue share until the package passes EUR 100,000 in lifetime revenue. After that you pay either the monthly minimum or 6% of GGR, whichever is higher, never both. The pricing page lists the package sizes, and the cost guide works through when renting beats buying for a given lobby.

Source code and exclusivity are available on request for any title, priced per game, and they are the route for an operator who wants a wheel in its own branding with nobody else running the same table.

Integration and delivery

Roulette integrates through the same REST API as every other title in the catalogue, so an operator who already runs one of our games adds a wheel without new integration work. A new operator gets the API documentation, the catalogue API for the lobby, the game assets and the per-game fairness report from the client area, and the promotional tools, including free rounds, from the promotions page.

Delivery of an existing title is a matter of days once the commercial terms are agreed; the timeline on a first integration is set by your developer, not by us. If you want to see the wheel before you talk to anyone, open any of the sixteen demos first.

Frequently asked questions

Which roulette variant should a new lobby start with?

European. One zero, a 97.30% RTP and the betting board every player recognises. Add the American wheel if your audience expects the double zero, and the French wheel if you compete on value: its La Partage rule takes the published RTP to 98.65%.

How does No Zero roulette make money for the house?

The wheel has 36 pockets and no zero, so the bets themselves carry no edge. Instead a small deduction is taken from every win, shown inside the game as the rake under the table limits. The published RTP of the No Zero tables is 95.00%.

What is the RTP of your roulette titles?

Between 94.74% and 98.65%, published on each game page: 94.74% on the American wheels, 95.00% on the No Zero wheels, 96.15% on Mini Roulette, 97.30% on the European wheels and 98.65% on the French wheels.

Is roulette a high-volatility game?

It depends on the bet. An even-money bet wins almost every other spin; a straight-up number wins once in 37 on the European wheel and pays 35 to 1. The player sets the volatility by choosing where the chips go, which is why one wheel serves both kinds of player.

Can roulette run in a sweepstakes casino?

Yes. The tables carry the Gold Coin and Sweeps Coin wiring and the terminology the model requires, and a wheel is one of the easiest games to feature in a promotion because every player already understands it.

Is the spin provably fair?

All sixteen roulette titles support provably fair verification: the outcome is committed before the round and the player can recompute it afterwards. The RNG that produces the spin is GLI-19 certified; the certification applies to the RNG rather than to each individual game.

What does a roulette game cost?

A one-domain licence is EUR 2,500, EUR 3,000 or EUR 4,000 depending on the title's tier, with 0% revenue share on a purchased game. Titles can also be rented as part of a package for a monthly minimum, with the revenue share only applying after EUR 100,000 in lifetime revenue.

Roulette games for online casinos are the one title nobody has to be taught. Put a European wheel on the first screen, let the players who want more variants find the American, French, No Zero and mini tables, and let the slots do the shouting. The sixteen titles are in the catalogue, and the team is one message away when you have picked yours.
