Live Roulette at Betiton UK

This fun game has kept players entertained for many years, and you can now play with real-life dealers from your living room. Roulette fans can find plenty of live roulette games at Betiton UK, and in this guide we are going to tell you everything that you should know about live roulette online.

What is Live Roulette?

Live dealer roulette is the most exciting and fun way for British casino players to try their luck on roulette. It is played in a studio that has been set up to imitate your typical brick-and-mortar casino, and there will be different table games throughout the room. There are many cameras to ensure that players do not miss any of the action, and it is the real-life dealer that is responsible for dropping the ball and spinning the wheel. You just need to click on the live roulette table that you like the look of, and all of the action will be streamed straight to you.

Types of Live Roulette Games Available at Betiton UK

Due to the popularity of this table game, there are many different variants of live roulette as all of the top software developers continuously try to outdo each other. In this section of our guide, we are going to be looking at some of the popular roulette live casino variants that you can try your luck on at Betiton UK.

High Stakes Roulette

This variant has the standard roulette rules but, as you can tell from the name, it is a variant that allows high rollers the option of placing huge bets with every spin. So, if you are a high roller, then this is the live variant that you should try out. The highest amount that you can bet will vary between casinos.

Low Stakes Roulette

As you can probably guess by its name, Low Stakes Roulette is a variant for those players that do not like risking big cash sums with every spin of the wheel. So, if you prefer playing roulette just for entertainment value and are not obsessed with winnings, then this is a variant that you should consider checking out. The minimum stake will vary from casino to casino as well as being dependent on the kind of bet that you opt for.

Speed Roulette

If you are searching for the fastest roulette game in the west, then Speed Roulette is what you need to consider playing. With this variant, which was published by Evolution Gaming, each spin only is just 25 seconds, which means that you will, on average, get in 50 more spins each hour. When you play this game, your bets are put down while the wheel is spinning, which gets rid of that annoying time that is usually spent waiting for other to put their bets down.

European Live Roulette

If you are playing roulette outside of the US, then it is probably European roulette. The wheel in this variant has the numbers 1-36 and 0 on it, which gives it a house edge of 2.70%. Blackjack has a lower house edge than this, but it is still definitely one of the lowest around.

American Live Roulette

The major difference between American roulette and European is that there is one extra double zero pocket. This extra pocket makes a major difference as it increases this variant’s house edge to 5.36%. As a result, this variant does not have as much popularity as the European one.

Live Roulette Rules Explained by Betiton UK

Online live roulette UK has become one of the most popular games at online casinos, and it does not take a rocket scientist to work out why. It is a simple game that can be learnt pretty quickly and enjoyed by new and experienced online casino players. There are a number of variants, each with their own set of rules, but there are generic rules for all variants – just the two, actually.

• Place Your Bets Your aim is to predict where the ball will land within the wheel once it has been spun. You will select your bet prior to this action.
• Betting As mentioned, there are two categories of bets, inside and outside bets. You can essentially place your bets on any number, group of numbers, odd/even, red/black, columns and rows. Any marker on the table permits you to place a bet upon it.
• Spinning the Roulette Wheel The roulette wheel is spun clockwise, and the ball is flicked anti-clockwise along its edge. Once the rotation slows, the ball will drop into the centre or edges and settle into a numbered pocket.
• The Outcome If the placement of the ball corresponds to any bet you made prior, you win.

Live Roulette Strategies

So, what about strategies? There is no way to succeed 100% of the time whilst playing roulette, or even to ensure that you will win. There are, however, strategies that some players say can help you improve your roulette strategy.

• Martingale Strategy: The technique works against the odds, increasing your wager one unit at a time everytime you lose, till a win lands. When that happens, you start betting again from the lowest bet amount.
• Reverse Martingale Strategy: This technique means that after a win, you continue to raise the wager until a loss is made.
• D’Alembert Strategy: This system involves both increasing and decreasing your betting according to the result. Increase your bet with a unit after each win and reduce you bet with one unit after each loss.
• Fibonacci Strategy: Like the pattern, your bets will start at one unit, then 2, then 3, then 5, 8, 13, 21, and so on. You will revert to one unit on a loss.

Live Roulette Bet Types

When you opt to play some online casino live roulette, your main aim is trying to predict where that little ball is going to land. However, there are more betting options than just putting your money on the one number that you think the ball will stop. The different betting options are divided into inside and outside bets, and you can find out all about these below.

Inside Bets

When you check out roulette table layout, you will see some bet types are located in the inner section, and these, are called inside bets – surprising, right? When you put down such a wager, you are betting that the ball will land on a certain number or a distinct set of numbers. The different inside bets can be found listed below:

• Single/Straight Up: Betting on the ball to land on a particular number between 0 and 36 (00 if you are playing an American variant). It pays out at odds of 35:1.
• Split: A wager that the ball will land on one of two numbers that are side by side. It pays out at odds of 17:1.
• Trio: A bet that the ball will land on one of two numbers or the 0 or 00. This bet pays out at odds of 11:1.
• Street: A wager on the ball stopping on a row of three such as 13, 14, and 15. This has an 11:1 payout.
• Square/Corner: This bet covers the ball landing on a cluster of four numbers on the table layout such as 8, 9, 11, and 12. This offers an 8:1 payout.
• First Four: A wager on the ball landing on either 0, 1, 2, and 3 (in European roulette only). It comes with an 8:1 payout.
• Basket/Top Line: A bet on the ball stopping in either the 0, 00, 1, 2, and 3 pockets (in American roulette only). The odds here stand at 6:1.

Outside Bets

The bets that you can find on the outside of a roulette table are known as outside bets – for obvious reasons. If you opt for such a wager, then you are putting your money on the ball stopping on a large group of numbers. You can see the various outside bets below:

• Dozen: The wheel is split into three dozens (1-12, 13-24, and 25-26), and you are betting on which dozen the ball will stop on. There is a 2:1 payout.
• Column: There are three columns with a total of 12 numbers each, and you bet on the column that you think the ball will land on. Once again, there are odds of 2:1.
• Red/Black: A stake on whether the ball will land on a black or red number. It has a payout of 1:1.
• Odd/Even: A wager on the ball landing on an even or odd number. It also has odds of 1:1.
• High/Low: The wheel will be divided into low (1-18) and high (19-36), and you need to guess whether the ball will stop on a low or high number. There is a payout of 1:1.

Special Bets

When you play roulette live, there are special bets that you can make, and this will depend on the variant that you are playing – not all roulette games will offer special bets, which are sometimes called “Call” or “Announced” bets. Four of the main ones have been explained below:

• Voisins du Zéro (Neighbours of Zero): A bet where you wager on the 17 numbers closest to 0, which are 22, 18, 29, 7, 28, 12, 35, 3, 26, 0, 32, 15, 19, 4, 21, 2, 25. You need to put down a minimum of 9 chips – 2 on 0, 2, 3, 1 on a 4/7 split, 1 on 12/15, 1 on 18/21, 1 on 18/21, 1 on 19/22, 2 on 25/26/28/29 corner, and 1 on 32/35.

• Orphelins (Orphans): You bet on the numbers that exist outside of the Voisins and Tiers bets, which include 7, 34, 6, 1, 20, 14, 31, and 9. You need 5 chips as you put 1 chip on 1 straight up and 1 chip on the splits 6/9, 14/17, 17/20, and 31/34.
