Online Roulette for Real Money in Australia 2024

Inside bets are bets placed directly on one or more numbers from zero to 36. These bets can include the following (keep in mind that payouts may vary by casino, check your specific casino’s rules):

• 
  

  Straight up bets

  This bet is placed on a single number. These wagers typically pay 35 to 1.

  Split number: This is a bet on two numbers; chips are placed on the line between the two. These wagers usually pay 17 to 1.

• 
  

  3 Line

  This bet is on 3 numbers as the name implies. Chips are placed on the line to the left of the three numbers (The table layout lines up the number so that they are displayed 3 per row, 12 per column).

• 
  

  4 Corner

  This is a wager placed on 4 numbers. Chips are placed on the corner falling between the 4 numbers you wish to bet on; the four must be touching each other on the table layout. The payout on this bet is typically 8 to 1.

• 
  

  1st Five

  This is a bet on the first 5 numbers (1 to 5). The chips are placed on the top left corner of the number 1, and the wager usually pays out 6 to 1 on a double zero table. On a single zero table this is the 1st Four bet on 1,2,3,4 and usually pays 8 to 1.

• 
  

  6 Line

  This is a wager on 6 numbers. The chips are placed on the inside left corner of the 6 numbers you are betting on, and the payout is typically 5 to 1.

   

Outside bets refer to those wagers where the chips are placed outside of the direct square that includes the numbers of the wheel. The outside bets allow a player to choose larger groups of numbers at lower payouts but better roulette odds. Outside bets include the following:

• 
  

  Column

  This wager includes a full column of numbers. The chips are placed in an area outside that column at the bottom, usually marked with the payout of that wager (2 to 1).

   

• 
  

  Dozen

  This is a wager similar to the column, but grouping of the numbers is different. This bet includes the numbers 1 through 12, 13 through 24, or 25 through 36. The chips are placed in a box to the left of the numbers marked by their titles of 1st 12, 2nd 12, and 3rd 12, and this wager typically pays out 2 to 1.

• 
  

  Split Columns

  Some casinos do not include this wagering option, but in those that do this bet is made by placing chips on the line between the two columns in the outside 2:1 area at the bottom of the numbers. The bet pays out 2:1.

• 
  

  Split Dozens

  Like Split Columns, not all casinos allow this bet. In those that do, the wager is placed by putting chips on the line between the two outside bet areas (the 12’s) that you wish you bet on. The payout is 2:1.

• 
  

  Even/Odd

  A player may choose to wager on all even numbers or all odd numbers. The chips in this case are placed on the outside bet box marked “Even” or “Odd”. The payout on this wager is even money, 1 to 1.

• 
  

  Red/Black

  Similar to Even/Odd, you may wager on only one colour or the other. If the ball lands on the colour of your choosing, you win even money, 1 to 1. The chips in this wager are placed on the red or black diamond outside the bet box in between the “Even” and “Odd” bet boxes.

• 
  

  1-18/19-36

  This bet is also called Low/High. The player may choose to bet on all numbers from 1 through 18 or all from 19 through 36. The chips are placed on the corresponding outside bet boxes next to the “Even” and “Odd” bet boxes. If won, this wager typically pays even money.

Australian players looking for popular roulette providers have a very good menu of globally acknowledged companies such as Pragmatic Play, RTG and Betsoft among others. The rules of all roulette tables are basically the same but their versions may vary across providers. This means every roulette provider comes with a fixed house advantage in European (2.7%) and American (5.26%) roulette, but games themselves may have some additional features, for example, a racetrack, advanced statistics and different chip values.

  RTG online roulette for Australian players 

  RTG is one of a few roulette providers that welcomes Australians but sadly its lifetime portfolio of roulette games is far from perfection, with only two tables in place, both being fairly dated in terms of graphics and overall performance; nevertheless, RTG European roulette features the same payouts (2.7%) as any normal single-zero roulette. Bet sizes vary between AU$1 and AU$250 per spin. There is a brief guide inside the roulette game that instructs a newbie how to build/remove a bet. Its American version looks identical to the above except that the layout and wheel have two zero boxes.

  Betsoft roulette in Australian online casinos 

  Betsoft has a rich suite of roulette games that many Aussies find appealing and imposing. One of the most alluring games in the Betsoft collection is Common Draw roulette which is based on European rules. The special thing about this title is a shared gaming space for many players. When a player enters this online roulette in Australia, he will see chips appearing on the grid – they are put by other punters who are playing Common Draw roulette concurrently with you.

  Another Betsoft game that Australian fans should look out for is Zoom Roulette. This is a single-zero roulette game with a camera zooming onto the portion of the wheel on which the ball has rested. This impressive edition has detailed rules, a table of payouts for all bet types (Straight Up, Split Bet, etc.) and an AU$3–AU$500 table range.

  Pragmatic Play roulette in Australian online casinos

Clicking on Special Bet, you will see four standard Announced bets. The roulette wheel will pop up as soon as you click Spin. The stats window at the corner shows only the last five winning numbers. Min and max stakes are AU$1 and AU$100.

While winning odds are identical across the three major roulette versions, they differ in a few aspects, some of which can be important for Aussies:

• 
  

  Visual design, game stats

  Each table actually has a table, wheel, chip selectors and some auxiliary options. Though they function in a similar way, they have different artwork and sound effects. Besides, visible statistics for the last few rounds can be important for choosing on which area to bet (red, black, even, etc.)

• 
  

  Table limits

  There are certain minimum and maximum bets in each table. The player should consult his betting habits and bankroll size before playing roulette for real money. Some online casinos offer VIP roulette for high rollers with steep maximum bets (AU$5000 and higher). Most commonly, the lowest bet is AU$1 per sector.
