How to Play Live Roulette
The idea of playing a live casino game might be a bit daunting, but we have new and experienced players joining our roulette games every single day. And live roulette is one of the simplest games to start as in its most basic form, it’s just about guessing where the ball will land and placing a bet.
Of course, you can read up on the many different roulette strategies that are out there, but it’s only as complicated as you want to make it. With live roulette, you can either play with complex strategies or just with a simple approach - the choice is yours.
To play live roulette here at Gala Casino, just follow these steps:
- Log into your Gala Casino account. If you don't have one, you can sign up in just a couple of minutes.
- Make sure you have funds in your account. You won’t be able to place a bet if your balance is zero. We offer lots of different options for topping up your balance.
- Head to the live casino section of our website and choose which game of roulette you want to play. Click on the game to join.
- Wait for the next roulette game to start. It's a very quick game, so you won't have long to wait between rounds.
- On your screen, you'll see a digital betting board. Click the amount you want to bet and select the number/s.
- You will see a total bet; this allows you to check the total amount if you are betting on multiple numbers.
- A traffic light system will be displayed on the screen, which will warn you when bets are about to close. Make sure you have submitted all your wagers before the betting closes for the round.
- The roulette wheel will spin with the ball jumping around between the numbers. This is perfectly normal and how roulette is intended to play.
- When the wheel slows to a stop, the live dealer will call out the winning number.
- If you predicted the number correctly, your account will automatically be credited with your winnings.
What are the Live Roulette Bet Types?
There are many different types of bets that you can place on a game of roulette, but they can all be split into two groups: inside and outside bets.
If you’ve never played roulette before, you’ll probably be more familiar with some of the outside bets. These are lower risk, simpler and a good place for new players to start. They’re also popular with players who prefer to take an increased chance of winning in return for lower odds.
The most common types of outside bets include:
| Outside bets | Description |
|---|---|
| Odds | 1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17,19,21,23,25,27,29,31,33,35 |
| Evens | 2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20,22,24,26,28,30,32,34,36 |
| Red | 1-3-5-7-9-12-14-16-18-19-21-23-25-27-30-32-34-36 |
| Black | 2-4-6-8-10-11-13-15-17-20-22-24-26-28-29-31-33-35 |
| Low | 1-18 |
| High | 19-36 |
| Dozen Bets | the wheel is split into thirds, each part containing one set of 12 numbers: 1-12, 13-24, 25-36 |
| Column Bets | another way to divide the wheel into thirds but avoiding sequential numbers |
Not all of the outside bets have the same odds of winning, although some of them do. Bets such as red/black or odds/evens where there are only two outcomes (or the green zero pocket) offer the lowest odds but the greatest chance of winning.
Inside bets are higher risk but carry higher odds. This means it may be more challenging to win an inside bet, but if you do, the prize is likely to be higher. Inside bets are usually more suited to experienced roulette players.
The most common types of inside bets include:
| Inside bets | Description |
|---|---|
| Straight-up | betting on a single number |
| Split | a straight-up bet which is divided between two numbers which are adjacent either vertically or horizontally |
| Street | three numbers which form a straight line on the betting board |
| Square | four numbers which form a square on the betting board |
There are other bets available in live roulette, but the above are the ones that are most commonly played.
What are the Live Roulette Payouts
The amount you could win in live roulette is directly related to the stake you place. Each prize pays out a multiple of your stake, depending on how difficult it is to win. The bets which are harder to win offer bigger odds, and as such a larger prize.
Some games of roulette may have slightly different odds if there are extra bonuses or incentives included. However, as a general rule, the live roulette payouts are as follows:
Outside Bets
- Odds/evens - 1:1
- Red/black - 1:1
- Low/high - 1:1
- Dozen bets - 2:1
- Column bets - 2:1
Inside Bets
- Straight-up - 35:1
- Split - 17:1
- Street - 11:1
- Square 5:1
As you can see from the payouts, there's quite a big difference. This reflects the fact that some bets are much easier to win, and you will probably rack up multiple wins in a single session. Other bets are supremely tricky to land - such as the straight-up - which is why the payout is significantly larger.
Some players opt to place multiple bets simultaneously, with a combination of outside and inside bets. The theory is that the likelihood of winning on the outside bets will help to cover the stake of paying for the inside bets while you’re waiting to land a big prize. This is a more complicated approach and more suited to players who have gained some experience playing roulette.
Live Roulette Tips
To win at roulette you’ll need a bit of luck, but there are some ways to increase your chances of winning. These top tips might help:
- Look for European or French roulette rather than American roulette - the latter has two green zero pockets, so your chances of winning are lower.
- Decide your budget before you start playing, and don't go over it, even if you leave with a loss.
- Choose a strategy for playing before you get started and stick to it. Don’t get distracted by results at the roulette wheel or veer from your plan.
- Make sure you understand the odds and payouts of the bets you want to place.
- Consider placing a combination of low and high probability bets simultaneously. If the low risk bets win, it will help to offset the cost of placing the higher risk bets. If the higher risk bet eventually wins, you’ll have a much higher proportion of profits.
- Look out for special offers and promotions to maximise your potential winnings.

What’s the Difference Between Live Roulette and Online Roulette?
Many players enjoy playing both online roulette and live roulette as they are similar in many ways. Both types of games are based on the traditional roulette casino game, with players betting on the outcome of a wheel being spun.
The main difference is that online roulette, there will be no live dealer to oversee proceedings. Online roulette typically uses a simulated roulette wheel and a random number generator (RNG) to produce the result. The RNG is very carefully calibrated and monitored to ensure that it is genuinely random and delivering the same kind of results that players would get from a real roulette wheel.
In contrast, live roulette uses a live dealer and a real roulette wheel. The betting board is simulated digitally to enable players to place their bets, but everything else is as you would find in a land casino but just streamed live over the internet.
