About online roulette at 21.co.uk

The make-up of online roulette is simple – just a spinning wheel and a tiny steel ball. As proven at 21.co.uk, online roulette is extremely popular among table games, and there’s a wide choice of both virtual and live dealer games.

Below you’ll find everything you need to play roulette games at 21.co.uk, including how to play, the betting options, and some of the most popular games available.

How online roulette works

Before you can play, you’ll need to sign up for an account with 21.co.uk if you haven’t already. Just follow these simple steps:

1. Click on the blue ‘Sign Up’ button in the top-right corner of your screen.
2. Opt in or out of the welcome bonus
3. Enter your email address and create a password.
4. Enter your name, address, date of birth and phone number.
5. Select a deposit limit or opt out.
6. Tick to receive exclusive bonuses and promos.
7. Tick to confirm that you’ve read through the terms and conditions and privacy policy.
8. Create your account and pay the minimum deposit

The aim of roulette is to predict where you think the steel ball will land once the wheel stops spinning. The European wheel features 37 numbers from 0 to 36, whereas the American roulette wheel has 38 numbers due to the addition of a ‘double zero’.

The numbers are coloured red or black and alternate around the wheel with the exception of the zero and double zero, which are coloured green:

• 1-10 and 19-28: even numbers are black, odd numbers are red.
• 11-18 and 29-36: even numbers are red, odd numbers are black.

Bets are placed using the player interface, which is similar across all variants.

A racetrack may also be used to place ‘called bets’, a wager that combines various bets – for example, Jeu Zero, Voisins du Zero, Tiers du Cylindre, Orphelins and Neighbours.

Here’s a quick guide on how to play roulette online:

1. Choose from our wide choice of live dealer or virtual online roulette games.
2. Place your bets using the player interface and/or racetrack.
3. The wheel spins one way and the steel ball the other.
4. When the ball lands in one of the numbered pockets, payouts are awarded if the correct outcome was predicted.

Betting options available

Roulette betting options are split into two categories: inside and outside. For beginners, outside bets are easier to grasp in the early stages of playing the game, whereas inside bets add more depth to the game as you advance your play.

• Column: a bet placed on a column of numbers (2:1).
• Dozen: a bet placed on the first 12, second 12, or third 12 numbers (2:1).

Inside bets:

• Straight Up: a bet placed on a single number (35:1).
• Split: bet on two numbers by placing your chip on the line between the two numbers (17:1).
• Street (Line/Row): bet on three numbers by placing your chip at the outside border of the line that displays a row of three numbers (5:1).
