A straight-up roulette payout is 35 to 1. A split pays 17 to 1, a street 11 to 1 and a corner 8 to 1. Six lines pay 5 to 1, dozens and columns 2 to 1, and red/black, odd/even or high/low pay 1 to 1. Those prices are identical on European and American wheels. The extra double zero is what moves the house edge from 2.70% to 5.26%.
In short: Payouts run from 35 to 1 on one number down to 1 to 1 on red or black. Every standard bet on a single-zero wheel carries a 2.70% house edge. On a double-zero wheel it is 5.26%, or 7.89% on the five-number bet. La Partage cuts even-money bets to 1.35%. Lightning Roulette pays 29 to 1 on a plain straight-up win, in exchange for 50x to 500x multipliers on its Lucky Numbers. No betting system changes any of these numbers.
Roulette payout table: what every bet pays
Every roulette payout is quoted as winnings to stake, and your stake comes back on top. A S$10 straight-up win at 35 to 1 pays S$350 in winnings and returns your S$10, so S$360 lands in your balance. The table below uses that S$10 chip for every bet.
| Bet | What it covers | Numbers | Payout | S$10 win returns |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Straight up | One number, zero included | 1 | 35 to 1 | S$360 |
| Split | Two numbers side by side | 2 | 17 to 1 | S$180 |
| Street | A row of three | 3 | 11 to 1 | S$120 |
| Corner | Four numbers that meet at one point | 4 | 8 to 1 | S$90 |
| Five-number (top line) | 0, 00, 1, 2, 3 on American wheels only | 5 | 6 to 1 | S$70 |
| Six line | Two neighbouring rows | 6 | 5 to 1 | S$60 |
| Dozen | 1 to 12, 13 to 24 or 25 to 36 | 12 | 2 to 1 | S$30 |
| Column | One of the three long columns | 12 | 2 to 1 | S$30 |
| Even money | Red/black, odd/even, 1 to 18 or 19 to 36 | 18 | 1 to 1 | S$20 |
One formula sits behind the whole roulette payout table. Divide 36 by the numbers a bet covers, then subtract 1. Six numbers gives 36 ÷ 6 = 6, minus 1, so 5 to 1. Two numbers gives 36 ÷ 2 = 18, minus 1, so 17 to 1.
The formula assumes a wheel with 36 pockets. Real wheels have 37 (one zero) or 38 (zero and double zero). Those one or two extra pockets are the casino’s whole margin, and the next two sections put a number on it.
Bets on the numbers grid are called inside bets: straight up, split, street, corner and six line. Dozens, columns and the even-money boxes around the edge are outside bets. Live tables usually set separate minimums and maximums for each group, and that detail decides how far a betting system can run.
What are the true roulette odds on each bet?
The roulette odds of a bet describe its chance of winning. On every wheel, the payout is set a little below what those odds would justify. A straight-up bet wins once in 37 spins on a single-zero wheel. That is 36 losing pockets to 1 winning pocket, so a fair price would be 36 to 1. The casino pays 35 to 1. The table sets out the roulette odds for every bet on both wheels, next to what each one pays.
| Bet | Pays | Win chance, single zero | True odds, 37 pockets | Win chance, double zero | True odds, 38 pockets |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Straight up | 35 to 1 | 2.70% | 36 to 1 | 2.63% | 37 to 1 |
| Split | 17 to 1 | 5.41% | 17.5 to 1 | 5.26% | 18 to 1 |
| Street | 11 to 1 | 8.11% | 11.33 to 1 | 7.89% | 11.67 to 1 |
| Corner | 8 to 1 | 10.81% | 8.25 to 1 | 10.53% | 8.5 to 1 |
| Five-number | 6 to 1 | not offered | not offered | 13.16% | 6.6 to 1 |
| Six line | 5 to 1 | 16.22% | 5.17 to 1 | 15.79% | 5.33 to 1 |
| Dozen or column | 2 to 1 | 32.43% | 2.08 to 1 | 31.58% | 2.17 to 1 |
| Even money | 1 to 1 | 48.65% | 1.06 to 1 | 47.37% | 1.11 to 1 |
The double-zero chances match the probability table in the Wizard of Odds roulette rules guide. The single-zero column is the same arithmetic with 37 pockets instead of 38.
Why do even-money bets win less than half the time?
Even-money bets are the clearest case. Red covers 18 numbers. Black covers 18 more, and zero belongs to neither, so red loses 19 times in 37. You win 48.65% of spins, not half, and you are still paid exactly your stake.
A roulette bet’s house edge is the gap between its payout and its true odds. The casino pays as if the wheel had 36 pockets, and the wheel has 37 or 38.
Where does the 2.70% house edge come from?
Put S$1 on number 17 for 37 spins and assume each pocket comes up once. You stake S$37. Number 17 hits once and returns S$36, which is S$35 in winnings plus the S$1 stake. You are S$1 down, and S$1 out of S$37 is 2.70%.
Run the same test on an American wheel and it takes 38 spins. You stake S$38, get S$36 back and lose S$2. Two out of 38 is 5.26%.
Try it with a dozen or with red and the answer doesn’t move, because every standard roulette payout is priced off the same 36-pocket assumption. S$100 on red and S$100 spread across ten single numbers both cost S$2.70 on average at a single-zero table. Chip placement only changes how bumpy the ride is.
The edge is an average over many spins, not a fee taken from each one. In a short session you can finish well ahead or well behind. Over thousands of spins, results drift towards a loss of 2.70% of everything you staked.
The five-number bet: the worst roulette payout on the layout
One chip on an American wheel covers 0, 00, 1, 2 and 3. It pays 6 to 1. By the 36-pocket formula it should pay 6.2 to 1 (36 ÷ 5 = 7.2, minus 1), and the casino rounds down to 6. Over 38 spins you stake S$38, win five times at S$7 returned each, and collect S$35. You lose S$3, and 3 ÷ 38 is 7.89%.
That is half as bad again as every other bet on the same table. Wizard of Odds lists it as the only bet on the double-zero layout with a different edge. Leave it alone.
La Partage and En Prison: cheaper even-money bets
Some single-zero tables soften the zero for even-money bets. Under La Partage, a red/black, odd/even or high/low bet that loses to zero hands back half the stake. Under En Prison, the bet stays on the table for the next spin instead. If it wins then, you get the stake back without winnings.
La Partage halves the cost of the zero, so the edge on those bets falls from 2.70% to 1.35%. Wizard of Odds puts the single-imprisonment version of En Prison at about 1.39%. Neither rule touches a straight-up, split or dozen bet, which stays at 2.70%. On 12 October 2026 the GGLBET roulette tab listed Evolution’s Auto-Roulette La Partage, which carries the rule in its name.
European vs American roulette: one extra pocket, nearly double the cost
The European vs American roulette choice comes down to one pocket. The European wheel has 37 pockets, numbered 0 to 36. The American wheel adds a double zero for 38. Every roulette payout stays the same on both, so the American player wins less often for the same price.
| Feature | European (single zero) | American (double zero) |
|---|---|---|
| Pockets | 37: 0 to 36 | 38: 0, 00, 1 to 36 |
| Straight-up payout | 35 to 1 | 35 to 1 |
| Chance of one number | 2.70% | 2.63% |
| House edge, standard bets | 2.70% | 5.26% |
| Average loss per S$1,000 staked | S$27.03 | S$52.63 |
| Five-number bet | Not on the layout | 6 to 1, 7.89% edge |
| Even-money relief | La Partage or En Prison on some tables (about 1.35%) | None at standard tables |
| Example in the GGLBET roulette tab, 12 Oct 2026 | Auto-Roulette La Partage (Evolution) | American Speed Roulette (Playtech Live) |
When a single-zero table is open, use it. The American layout pays nothing extra for its extra pocket, and its one unique bet is the most expensive chip on the cloth.
Over S$1,000 of bets, which is 100 spins at S$10, the American wheel costs about S$25.60 more on average. Nothing else about the game changes to make up for it.
How to play roulette at a live table, step by step
Learning how to play roulette at a live table takes about one round. You bet while the timer runs, the ball is spun, and winning bets are settled to your balance automatically. The steps below show how to play roulette on GGLBET, from the lobby to the result.
- Open the live casino and choose the Roulette tab. On 12 October 2026 it listed 172 tables from 23 providers.
- Check whether the wheel has one zero or two. Some table names say so (American Speed Roulette, for one), and the help screen will confirm it.
- Open the table and read its limits. GGLBET’s lobby tiles show no minimum or maximum stakes, so the limits panel inside each table is the place to look.
- Pick a chip value, then place bets while the betting timer is running. Inside bets go on the numbers; outside bets go in the boxes around them.
- Stop when betting closes. Once the timer hits zero, new chips are not accepted for that spin.
- Watch the ball land. The winning number appears on screen and every winning bet is paid at the prices in the payout table above.
- Decide on the next spin. Change your bets, repeat them, or leave the table with what you have.
Which bet should a first-timer start with?
For a first session, a dozen or an even-money bet is a gentle start. You win close to a third or half of spins, so your balance moves slowly enough to learn the screen. The cost per S$1 is the same 2.70% as a straight-up bet; only the swings are smaller.
Which roulette rules matter most at a live table?
Most roulette rules are the same at every table, but a handful decide what you get paid.
Bets are only accepted inside the betting window. On Evolution’s Speed Roulette, a round takes 25 seconds from spin to spin. Evolution puts that at around half the length of its standard Live Roulette and Immersive Roulette rounds. Bets on that table are taken while the ball is spinning, so the window is short.
Zero beats every outside bet. Red, black, odd, even, high, low, dozens and columns all lose when the ball lands on 0, or on 00 on an American wheel. The common exceptions are La Partage and En Prison, and they cover even-money bets only.
Table limits belong to each table and often to each bet type. Since GGLBET’s lobby doesn’t show them, read the limits panel every time you switch tables. The maximum on a single number is usually far lower than on red or black. Either way, the cap is what stops a doubling system, as the Martingale example below shows.
The paytable belongs to the game, not to the wheel. Lightning Roulette spins a normal single-zero wheel but changes the straight-up price. Treat any branded table (Lightning, XXXtreme, Quantum, Mega, Gravity) as non-standard until its help screen confirms the payouts.
Lightning Roulette payout: what the multipliers cost you
The Lightning Roulette payout on a plain straight-up win is 29 to 1, not 35 to 1. According to Evolution’s Lightning Roulette page, the wheel has numbers 1 to 36 plus a single zero. After betting closes, the presenter pulls a lever and one to five Lucky Numbers are struck. Each gets a random Lucky Payout between 50x and 500x.
If the winning number is a Lucky Number and you have a straight-up bet on it, your bet is multiplied by its Lucky Payout. If it isn’t struck, the straight-up bet pays 29 to 1. Evolution says all other bets, such as splits, corners, red/black and dozens, pay the same as standard roulette.
Take a S$10 straight-up bet on 17. If 17 wins without lightning, you get S$290 in winnings plus your S$10, so S$300 instead of S$360. If 17 was struck at 500x, the S$10 bet is multiplied by 500 and becomes S$5,000.
Without multipliers, a straight-up bet here returns 30 times the stake once in 37 spins. That is 30 ÷ 37 = 81.08% of what you stake. Everything above that on a straight-up bet comes from the multipliers. Evolution’s public page doesn’t print a return figure for straight-up bets, and third-party guides disagree, so read the in-game help before treating them as normal-priced.
Lightning Roulette keeps standard roulette rules for everything except the straight-up bet. Splits, dozens and the outside bets get normal roulette payouts on a single-zero wheel, so their edge stays at 2.70%. GGLBET’s roulette tab carried both Lightning Roulette and XXXtreme Lightning Roulette from Evolution on 12 October 2026. XXXtreme Lightning Roulette is a separate game with its own rules, which this guide doesn’t cover.
Does any roulette strategy beat the house edge?
No roulette strategy based on bet sizing changes the edge, because every spin is priced at 2.70% (or 5.26%) whatever you bet before it. The Wizard of Odds betting systems analysis says losses as a share of money bet “will always approach the house edge” in the long run. A system can change the shape of your results, but every roulette payout and every probability stays where it was.
Martingale: a worked doubling example that hits the limit
The Martingale doubles your bet after every loss. The first win then recovers all losses plus one unit. Start with S$10 on red at a single-zero table. Say the table caps a red bet at S$1,000, an illustrative figure; the real cap is in the limits panel.
| Spin | Bet on red | Total lost if it loses | Profit if it wins |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | S$10 | S$10 | S$10 |
| 2 | S$20 | S$30 | S$10 |
| 3 | S$40 | S$70 | S$10 |
| 4 | S$80 | S$150 | S$10 |
| 5 | S$160 | S$310 | S$10 |
| 6 | S$320 | S$630 | S$10 |
| 7 | S$640 | S$1,270 | S$10 |
| 8 | S$1,280 needed, over the S$1,000 cap | Stuck at S$1,270 | None |
Seven missed reds and the next double is S$1,280, which the table won’t accept. You are S$1,270 down while chasing S$10. Red loses 19 times in 37, so seven losses in a row happen with a probability of (19/37) to the power 7. That is about 0.94%, or roughly one cycle in 106.
It sounds rare until you repeat it. Play 100 cycles to try to win S$1,000, and the chance of at least one wipe-out is about 61%. The average matches the house edge. Each cycle wins S$10 99.06% of the time and loses S$1,270 0.94% of the time, an average loss of S$2.05. That is 2.70% of the S$75.94 the system stakes per cycle on average.
The Wizard of Odds Martingale page reaches the same verdict with bigger bankrolls. More money buys more steps before the wall, and a bigger loss when you hit it.
d’Alembert and Fibonacci: slower climbs, same price
The d’Alembert adds one unit after a loss and takes one away after a win. The Fibonacci moves along 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13 after losses and steps back two places after a win. Both climb more slowly than doubling, so a losing run costs less per step and takes longer to reach the table limit.
Neither touches the price of a spin. Played on red, every bet in either sequence still pays 1 to 1 on an 18-in-37 chance. The average loss is still 2.70% of everything staked.
What changes your results instead?
The wheel is the first lever. A single-zero table costs about half as much per spin as a double-zero table, and La Partage halves the cost again on even-money bets.
Speed is the second lever. At Speed Roulette’s 25-second rounds an hour holds up to 144 spins. At S$10 a spin that is S$1,440 of action and an average loss of about S$38.92. The same hour on an American wheel would cost about S$75.79. Smaller chips or a slower table cut that hourly figure, and so does a stopping time decided before you sit down. A betting system doesn’t. The only roulette strategy the maths supports is choosing the cheaper wheel and limiting how much action you put through it.
What does GGLBET’s roulette lobby offer?
On 12 October 2026 the Roulette tab of GGLBET’s live casino listed 172 tables from 23 providers. Playtech Live had the most with 31, then Evolution with 21, CREEDROOMZ and AMUSNET with 15 each, Ezugi with 13 and Microgaming Live with 12. The whole live lobby held 1,044 games, and 260 of them had “roulette” in the name. Of those, 91 sat outside the Roulette tab, so the search box finds more than the tab shows.
Tables named in the tab included Evolution’s Lightning Roulette, Immersive Roulette, Speed Roulette, VIP Roulette and Auto-Roulette La Partage. Playtech Live supplied Quantum Roulette, Mega Fire Blaze: Roulette and American Speed Roulette. Pragmatic Play Live had Mega Roulette 3000, Crystal Roulette and Speed Roulette 1. Other studios added AMUSNET’s Maxima Roulette 4444x, ICONIC21’s Gravity Roulette, CREEDROOMZ’s Inferno Roulette and Microgaming Live’s Playboy Roulette.
The lobby shows no stakes, dealer names or seat counts, so this guide doesn’t list any. Each roulette payout at those tables comes from the provider’s own rules, so read the help screen before your first chip. Anyone still learning how to play roulette is better off at a plain single-zero table than a branded multiplier game, because its payouts match the tables in this guide. A summary of the main tables sits on the GGLBET online roulette page.
How do GGLBET’s live casino promotions treat roulette?
Roulette counts for all four live casino offers below. The terms come from GGLBET’s promotions pages as captured on 12 October 2026, in SGD.
| Promotion | Main terms (SGD) | Roulette eligible? |
|---|---|---|
| 100% Live Casino Welcome Bonus | Up to S$500; minimum deposit S$50; 25x turnover; max bet S$100; 7 days; once per account | Yes, all live casino |
| 10% Live Casino Daily Unlimited Deposit Bonus | Up to S$300; minimum deposit S$50; 10x turnover; max bet S$100; 3 days | Yes, all live casino |
| Daily Rebate Bonus on Live Casino | 0.25% of the previous day’s turnover; minimum bonus S$5; 1x turnover; 3 days; daily cap S$150 (Beginner) to S$500 (God) | Yes; Sic Bo, Bac Bo, Dragon Tiger and Double Red Dog excluded |

The two deposit bonuses must be claimed first, in Profile, then Promotional Bonuses, before you deposit by local bank transfer. The 25x welcome turnover is easy to underestimate. If it is counted on a full S$500 bonus, that is S$12,500 of bets. On a single-zero wheel the expected loss on that much action is about S$337.50.
The rebate is small next to the edge. 0.25% back against a 2.70% edge returns about 9% of the expected cost (0.25 ÷ 2.70). With a S$5 minimum bonus, a day’s live turnover has to reach S$2,000 before anything is paid. Days run from 00:00 to 23:59 (GMT+8). The bonus is awarded at 09:00 the next day and must be claimed in the Bonuses section. Bets made with it are capped at S$25 a spin.
The cashback week runs Monday 00:00 to Sunday 23:59 (GMT+8), and the money is credited automatically before 10:30 the following Monday. Caps rise with your VIP rank. Full terms for every offer are on the promotions page, and the registration guide covers claiming the welcome bonus before your first deposit.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the highest roulette payout?
On a standard table the highest roulette payout is 35 to 1, for a straight-up bet on one number. Lightning Roulette can pay more. If your straight-up number is one of the 1 to 5 Lucky Numbers, the bet is multiplied by 50x to 500x. The trade-off is 29 to 1 when your number wins without a multiplier.
Do European and American roulette payouts differ?
No. European vs American roulette differs in the wheel only, and every bet pays the same price on both. The American double zero lowers your chance of winning, which raises the house edge from 2.70% to 5.26%.
Which roulette bet has the best odds?
Red/black, odd/even and high/low win most often, 48.65% of spins on a single-zero wheel, though they also carry the smallest roulette payout, 1 to 1. At a standard European table every bet carries the same 2.70% edge, so the choice is about how much swing you want. The cheaper option is an even-money bet at a La Partage or En Prison table, at about 1.35% to 1.39%.
Is the five-number bet ever a good idea?
No. It pays 6 to 1 on a 5-in-38 chance, which is a 7.89% house edge. Every other chip on the same American layout costs 5.26%.
Can a roulette strategy guarantee a profit?
No. Martingale, d’Alembert and Fibonacci change the size of your bets, not what each spin pays. In the S$10 Martingale example above, one 0.94% losing streak costs S$1,270 and wipes out 127 winning cycles.
Does roulette count for GGLBET’s live casino rebate and cashback?
Yes. The daily live casino rebate pays 0.25% of the previous day’s turnover and excludes only Sic Bo, Bac Bo, Dragon Tiger and Double Red Dog. The weekly 5% live casino cashback excludes Baccarat, Sic Bo, Bac Bo and Dragon Tiger. Roulette losses count once they reach S$200 for the week.
Is it legal to play online roulette in Singapore?
GGLBET is an offshore operator. It is not licensed by Singapore’s Gambling Regulatory Authority, and under the Gambling Control Act 2022 gambling with a remote operator that is not licensed in Singapore is an offence. More answers on accounts and payments are in the GGLBET help centre.
