What is online roulette?
Traditional roulette is a game of chance where players make bets on numbers, groups, or colours. After players place their stakes, a croupier spins a wheel and drops a small ball inside. It rolls until it lands in one of the pockets determining the winning wager.
The online version involves playing roulette on an internet platform from the comfort of your home. You don’t have to interact with real-life dealers or other gamers.
All transactions take place on your chosen device, from depositing money for bets to withdrawing your winnings. A random number generator (RNG) determines where the ball lands and ensures fairness.
Unlike rounds at land-based casinos, everything happens at your pace. Speed up your rate to get lots of action during short sessions, or slow down spins to figure out the rules. Our Canadian gamers love the convenience of playing roulette online.
Online roulette variations at Mr Bet Canada
One of the best things about enjoying roulette with us is our wheel variety. Some have unique rules favouring players, while others offer better odds by displaying fewer numbers.
The main variations of the game available at Mr Bet Canada are:
- European
- French
- American
- Live
Understanding the differences between each type is essential to choose the one most suitable for your bankroll.
European roulette
European version is the original and most popular form of the game. The features of this wheel include:
- Thirty-seven pockets numbered from 0–36
- Spaces 1–36 are red and black
- A green zero
- Low house edge of 2.7%
- Inside and outside bets
Here’s a breakdown of the types of wagers in European online roulette and their odds and payouts.
Inside bets
These wagers cover single numbers:
- Straight: Successfully betting on one digit pays at 35:1 but has odds of only 2.7%.
- Split: This wager is on two adjacent numbers. It has a probability of 5.4% and pays out at 17:1.
- Street: A street wager is on three numerals joined in a straight line. The likelihood of this bet winning is 8.1%, paying at 11:1.
- Corner: This wager covers four numbers sitting alongside one another in a square. It pays at 8:1 and is successful 10.8% of the time.
- Double street: Cover six numbers in two adjacent rows of three. The double street has odds of 16.2% and a payout of 5:1.
Outside bets
Outside bets include entire number sections:
- Columns: Wager on one or all of 12 columns containing three numbers. Each pays out at 2:1 and has a 32.4% chance of winning.
- Dozens: These bets are on the three sections of 12 digits. Dozens wagers also pay at 2:1 with odds of 32.4%.
- Red/black: Place your stake on the red or black numerals for a winning chance of 48.6% and a 1:1 payout.
- Even/odd: Wager an even or odd number for a successful payout of 1:1. This bet wins 48.6% of the time.
- Low/high: Low covers 1–18, while high includes 19–36. Winning wagers pay at 1:1 and have odds of 48.6%.
French roulette
Playing French online roulette in Canada is similar to European but has the bonus of exciting side bets. Despite its more complicated rules, many consider this the best form of the game.
The features of the French wheel include:
- Same layout as the European version
- An even lower house edge of 1.35%
- Inside and outside wagers with the same odds and payouts as European roulette
This variant’s unique side bets are:
- La Partage: Should the ball land on zero, the croupier divides all even money (1:1) wagers. The house keeps half while the player receives the rest of the stake. Some think of the La Partage rule as insurance against losing a round.
- En Prison: When the ball stops on zero, the dealer marks all even money bets as En Prison (in prison). Your wager stays in place for the next spin, and you get it back on a win. Should the ball hit zero again, your wager stays in prison for another round. This rule provides the chance of a full refund on your initial losing bet.
American Roulette
American version is one of the two main game versions, with an almost identical wheel to European forms. The difference is an additional double zero space that introduces a higher house edge against players.
The features of the American wheel include:
- Thirty-eight pockets numbered from 0–36, plus a 00
- Digits 1–36 are red and black
- Green 0 and 00 pockets
- A high house edge of 5.26%
- Inside and outside wagers
This variant has the same bets and payouts as European roulette, but the extra double zero pocket changes player odds. Here’s how the probability of you winning rounds changes in American games:
Inside bets
- Straight: 2.6%
- Split: 5.3%
- Street: 7.9%
- Corner: 10.5%
- Double street: 15.8%
Outside bets
- Columns: 31.6%
- Dozens: 31.6%
- Red/black: 47.4%
- Even/odd: 47.4%
- Low/high: 47.4%
Live roulette
Live dealer roulette provides the same experience as a brick-and-mortar casino and offers a taste of the glamour from home.

Top tips for getting the most out of online roulette at Mr Bet
Now that you know how to play online and live roulette, let’s get to the best part. We’ve compiled our top tips to help you make the most of your rounds.
It’s essential to note that roulette is a game of chance, and no strategy guarantees a winning outcome. However, applying these pointers better equips you to improve your odds and enjoy more long-term success.
Look at these valuable tricks before spinning your first wheel:
Play demos before using real money
We offer demos of our online games for you to try before betting with your bankroll. These options help you get comfortable with roulette mechanics and rules and prepare for your first real wheel. Demo versions are also helpful for trying new betting strategies or getting familiar with the odds.
Focus on outside bets
While inside wagers pay out larger prizes, you’re less likely to hit these numbers. Outside bets offer lower multiples of your stake, but there’s a higher probability of them happening. We recommend playing these even money options during each spin.
Sticking to outside wagers may seem less exciting, but your budget lasts longer, and you get to extend your fun.
Try a betting system
No roulette strategy guarantees success, but betting systems could increase your chances of making a profit. Each technique is different and requires some study before implementing it on a wheel. Popular wagering patterns include:
- Martingale
- Paroli
- Fibonacci
- James Bond
Manage your bankroll
Setting and following betting limits is essential for longer-lasting fun at the wheel. Start small and put a cap on your maximum wagers and the total spending for your session.
Select a game with lower minimum stakes if you’re on a budget. Never chase losses or be tempted to play outside of your comfort zone.

Is online roulette rigged?
No, the ball always lands on a random number generated by our RNG software. Each spin is independent and unpredictable. Our games are also verified for fairness by a third-party auditing company.
What’s the best online roulette wager?
The best bet is the one with the highest probability and the lowest house edge. Even money wagers, like red/black or low/high, offer the most significant statistical chance of success. Play them on European or French wheels to avoid the double zero and face better odds.
Is it possible to play online roulette on a smartphone or tablet?
Yes, the Mr Bet site is fully adapted for all mobile devices.

Are there tricks to win in online roulette?
No, there’s no way to guarantee wins, as each wheel spin is unpredictable. Give yourself the highest possible chance of landing a paying wager by sticking to French roulette and only making even money bets.
Can I use the Mr Bet welcome bonus to play online roulette in the casino?
Each registered casino member can claim a welcome offer right after the first deposit. The bonus can be used to play all the slots and games available on the gambling site, including online live roulette. However, remember to check the wagering conditions before claiming any promotion to ensure that you’ll be able to meet all the requirements. Keep in mind that promotions are not available for bettors.
What’s the most successful online roulette strategy?
While there are plenty of roulette strategies to try, one isn’t better than another. These techniques rely on a large bankroll, requiring you to make each wager bigger than the last.The best thing to understand is that it’s impossible to achieve a 100% success rate in roulette.
How does the double zero pocket give the house more of an advantage in American roulette?
There are 36 numbers plus a zero on a traditional wheel, while the payout for predicting single digits is 35:1. This difference means the house comes out ahead in the long run. American wheels have the extra double zero pocket, increasing the winning possibilities to 38. The payout for successful bets in this variant is still 35:1, which means the house has an even greater edge.
