Live Roulette: bets, payouts and RTP

Live Roulette is Evolution's standard live European roulette: a single-zero wheel, a live dealer and the full set of inside, outside and call bets.

Casinos can offer Classic, 3D and multi-camera views; betting time is about 17 seconds and a round about 45 seconds (LiveCasinoComparer).

Our verdict: The reference table: every other Evolution roulette adds a feature or changes the pace on top of these rules.

Variance

How Live Roulette swings from round to round

Even-money bets

Red, black, odd, even, 1–18 and 19–36 win close to half the time and pay 1:1.

Suits you if: Long sessions on a small budget.

Dozens and columns

Win about one round in three and pay 2:1.

Suits you if: A middle path between pace and payout.

Straight up

One number lands about once in 37 spins, so long losing runs are normal.

Suits you if: Players who accept long dry spells for a big single win.
