Live Roulette

Live Roulette at Chips.gg

These are real wheels, filmed and streamed as they spin. The physics decide the number, and the only thing that varies between tables is the layout of the wheel and the bets it accepts.

That layout is the one thing worth understanding before you place a chip. A European wheel has 37 pockets — the numbers plus a single zero — and a house edge of 2.70%. An American wheel adds a double zero, making 38 pockets and a house edge of 5.26%. The bets look identical and pay identical odds. You are simply paying nearly twice as much for the same game on the American layout, so prefer the single zero table whenever both are open.

Bets, odds and what they actually cost

Every bet on a European wheel carries the same 2.70% edge, so the choice between them is about variance rather than value:

• Straight up on one number pays 35:1 and lands about once in 37 spins.

• Red/black, odd/even, high/low pay 1:1 and land just under half the time — the zero is what makes it "just under".

• Dozens and columns pay 2:1 and sit between the two.

No betting pattern changes the edge. Martingale and its relatives redistribute when you win, not how much; the table limit is what eventually stops them.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the house edge on roulette?

2.70% on a single zero European wheel and 5.26% on a double zero American wheel. The bet you choose does not change it — only the wheel does.

Which roulette bet is best?

None of them pay better than another over time, because they all carry the same edge. Even money bets like red/black last longest for a given bankroll; straight up numbers pay the most but land rarely.

Is live roulette the same as the Chips.gg roulette game?

No. The live tables in this category are physical wheels dealt by a studio. Our in-house roulette is RNG based and provably fair, so you can recompute any result from its seeds.
