Online Roulette

Royal Vegas Canada brings the glamorous and ever-popular game of roulette to wherever you are, whenever you choose to play.

What is roulette?

Roulette is the table game famous for its spinning wheel. The wheel has slots that have numbers on it as well as a track with a small white ball to move along. As the wheel gets spun, the ball is spun in the opposite direction and eventually lands on a particular number. These numbers alternate between red and black, and depending on whether you are playing American or European roulette, these numbers go up to 38 or 37 respectively. There is also French Roulette and Roulette Royale to choose from. You win when you correctly predict where the ball will land.

History of roulette

The game of roulette was created by the French mathematician Blaise Pascal in the Seventeeth Century France while he was trying to invent a perpetual motion machine. The game has since evolved as its popularity spread across Europe and on to America. A double zero version was introduced in New Orleans, which has become popular throughout the USA. This is one of the most loved casino games here at Royal Vegas Canada.

Inside bets

• Straight up: the chip is placed directly in the middle of a number square to form a single number bet.
• Split: the chip is placed on the line between two numbers (vertical or horizontal).
• Corner: the chip is placed on the intersection of the horizontal and vertical lines of 4 numbers.
• Six line: the chip is placed on the corresponding intersection between two ‘streets’.
• Trio: the chip is placed on the intersection between 0,1 and 2 or 0,2 and 3.
