Roulette is without a doubt one of the most popular casino games of all time, which is why it’s a must-have for online casinos. Online roulette is suitable for both experienced players and roulette novices. The basic rules can be learned quickly, which makes it easy to get started – but online casino roulette also offers a variety of strategic options that can be played, meaning even experienced roulette players won’t get bored. At jackpots.ch, we also have roulette tables with possible bets ranging from CHF 0.01 to CHF 180’000. So there’s something for everyone!
What types of online casino roulette are there?
There are different types of roulette casino, and some differ in terms of their rules and payouts. The different game types can sometimes lead to some confusion, so we’ve put together a brief guide.
Play European vs. American roulette online
Traditional European roulette consists of 37 squares numbered from 0 to 36. The numbers are alternately colored red and black – except for the 0, which is green. American roulette, on the other hand, has 38 squares. It consists of the same numbers as European roulette, but also includes the green double zero (00).
However, this seemingly small difference influences the gameplay and especially the chances of winning. For example, the house edge in European roulette is approximately 2.70%, which is lower than the roughly 5.26% in the American version, making this version more lucrative for players.
Play roulette against a live dealer or computer in the online casino
A key difference between the game types is whether you play against a computer online or against a real dealer in the live-casino. Many players prefer the live-casino games of roulette casino due to the social aspect of the game. However, playing roulette online against the computer also has its advantages. For example, in this roulette type, you play alone and don’t have to keep up with the pace of the dealer or other players. This means you can take as much time as you like when making your decisions. This is especially useful for players who are not yet familiar with roulette or who want to try out new roulette strategies and therefore need a little more time to make their decisions.
Extra excitement with Lightning Roulette
In Lightning Roulette, one to five numbers are randomly hit by lightning in each round. These numbers then receive a random multiplier of 50x to 500x. If the roulette ball lands on one of the lightning numbers and you also bet on them, you can gain significantly higher winnings than in normal roulette. The lightning feature adds even more gaming excitement than classic roulette.

Rules and strategies
Rules
The aim of roulette is to place bets on numbers from 0 to 36 or to maximize your winnings by placing bets on certain categories. The following rule always applies: the less likely an outcome is, the higher the payout if it occurs. There are many different types of bets in roulette, meaning that both risk-taking and risk-averse people can be sure to find the right bet for them. You can find the detailed roulette rules, including the different betting options, on our roulette rules page.
Roulette rulesStrategies
Both beginners and advanced players are drawn to roulette – not least due to the wide range of strategic options that can be played in the game. Unlike blackjack, for example, roulette cannot be solved mathematically and there is no one perfect strategy. Instead, there are countless strategies designed to maximize profits or minimize losses.
One of the best-known roulette strategies is the Martingale. You bet on simple odds (e.g. on red) and double your bet with every loss until you get a win. If you win, you switch to black (if you previously bet on red) and start with the original bet again.
With the Labouchere strategy, you set a profit target and divide it into smaller amounts. For example, you set a target of CHF 10 and divide it into the number sequence 1–2–3–4. You then always bet the sum of the first and last number of the sequence on a simple odd. If you win, you cross out the two numbers; if you lose, you add the number to the list so you now have 1–2–3–4–5. Once you’ve crossed out all the numbers in the row, you’ve won your desired amount and the round is over.

Roulette strategiesOrigin of roulette
As with most older games, we are not entirely sure how roulette originated, but it is now believed that the casino game originated in Italy in the 17th century, because until around 1900 the game was still described in various encyclopedias as Italian roulette. In the 18th century, the game spread throughout Europe, becoming particularly popular in France.
The game without the double zero was played for the first time in Bad Homburg in 1841. As roulette without the double zero paid out more, the casino hoped this game type would give it a competitive advantage. The one zero game soon spread throughout Europe.
