honest odds · single zeroFree Roulette Online: how to play, rules & tips
Play roulette online free on both wheels: European single-zero and American double-zero. Make inside bets, outside bets and French racetrack call bets, and test betting systems with real odds.
How to play roulette
Place chips on numbers or groups of numbers, then spin. If the ball lands in a pocket your bet covers, you win at that bet's payout. All other bets lose.
Inside bets cover one to six numbers and pay more; outside bets (red/black, odd/even, 1–18/19–36, dozens and columns) cover more of the wheel and pay less. On the European wheel you can also use the racetrack for classic call bets.

European vs American roulette
The European wheel has 37 pockets (0 to 36) and a 2.70% house edge on every bet. The American wheel adds a 00 for 38 pockets, raising the edge to 5.26%. If you have the choice, the single-zero wheel is the better game.
Roulette strategy tips
- No betting system changes the house edge. Martingale, Fibonacci and the rest only change how your wins and losses are spread out. Use the system tester on this page to see it for yourself.
- Outside bets win often but pay little; straight-up bets rarely win but pay 35 to 1. Over time both cost the same 2.70% on the European wheel.
- Choose the European wheel whenever you can.
