An online casino site without a roulette table? Not on our watch. We’ve taken the classic wheel and brought online casino roulette right where you want it - at your fingertips.
The word "roulette" may mean "little wheel" in French, but the excitement in this game is anything but little. Whether you're here to play online roulette for real money or just dropping by to see what all the fuss is about, giving the wheel a spin has never been easier.
We're one of the best online roulette casinos around and we've kept a seat warm for you.
The aim of roulette is simple: guess where the ball lands. The exact rules and style can change, but the goal always stays the same.
Online roulette gives you two ways to play:
RNG Roulette: Uses a Random Number Generator to keep every spin completely unpredictable and exciting. (Because fair play is the only way we play).
Live Dealer Roulette: Real dealers, real wheels, streamed in real time. Live casino roulette is the casino atmosphere, minus the dress code. You can even use the roulette online chat to say hello to the host.
Both types of roulette games are strictly tested and regulated. Clean. Clear. Very Virgin.
There’s a table with your name on it at Virgin Games. Here’s the lineup:
European Roulette: The classic 37-number wheel (1–36 and a single zero).
American Roulette: Adds a double zero (00) to the mix, taking it to 38 numbers.
French Roulette: Similar to the European setup, but with a few unique rules like La Partage thrown in.
Special Spin-offs: Fancy a twist? Try games packed with a roulette online bonus, or explore lower-stakes options like 10p or 20p roulette online.
If you know how to play casino games online, then learning roulette is easy. Here’s the drill:
Tap the JOIN NOW button. You can't spin the wheel without being in the (virtual) room. Become a member to get access.
Choose Your Game: Find a table that suits your style.
Place Your Bets: Pick your chip value and place it on numbers, colours, or sections.
Spin the Wheel: Give it a spin (or watch our live dealers do the honours).
See the Results: If the ball lands on your pick, the payout hits your balance instantly.
There are two main types of bets in roulette:
Inside Bets: Betting on specific numbers or small groups of numbers in the centre of the betting table.
Outside Bets: Covering larger sections like red/black or odd/even on the outside of the numbered area on the betting table.
Tip: Outside bets are a straightforward way to learn the ropes. Since they cover more of the wheel, your chances of winning roulette can be greater. Inside bets have smaller chances but bigger payout potential.
Playing European or French roulette online? You'll find some special call bets available:
Voisins du Zero: Covers all the numbers between and including 22 and 25.
Jeu Zero: Betting on the roulette numbers that are physically closest to 0 on the wheel.
Tiers du Cylindre: Betting on 5, 8, 10, 11, 13, 16, 23, 24, 27, 30, 33, 36
Orphelins: Covers the 8 numbers left out of Voisins du Zero or Tiers du Cylindre.
Neighbours: Unique to French roulette games.
En Prison: Land on a 0 and you'll get half your bet back if you placed an even money bet.

French Roulette (with La Partage): 1.35% on even-money bets
Let’s be completely clear: online roulette is a game of chance. No system guarantees a win. But some players like to mix up how they place their chips. Here are some of the best roulette strategies according to players:
Martingale: Double your bet after a loss. (Approach with caution).
D’Alembert: Adjust your bet up or down by one unit.
Fibonacci: Follow a mathematical sequence for your stakes.
Our top tips for winning roulette online are about keeping the game fun. Remember to set a clear budget before you start playing (and stop once your chips are out). If you're a beginner, then keep the stakes small or - even better - give free online roulette a go to get a feel for things.
Pace your play for a longer session and enjoy the excitement of the wheel.
