Live roulette has long been a favourite among online casino players, and for good reason. Its blend of simplicity and sophistication, coupled with the excitement of watching that little white ball bounce around the wheel, makes it a timeless classic. And here at Casino Days, where we’re known for our love of tradition and innovation, it’s no surprise that live roulette has captured Ontario's players' hearts.
Live roulette is an online casino game that brings the thrill of a real-life casino directly to your screen. A live dealer spins the wheel in real time, unlike RNG roulette, where a computer algorithm determines outcomes. Furthermore, since it is streamed in real-time via an HD stream, live roulette uses a physical wheel and ball, providing a more authentic and immersive gaming experience.
While live dealer games have gained immense popularity in Ontario, 3 standout titles shine brighter than the rest in Casino Days' realm of live roulette.
Elevate your gaming experience with VIP Roulette, designed to cater to high rollers seeking the ultimate thrill. Live-streamed from a glamorous Latvian studio, VIP Roulette features high betting limits of up to $5,000 per single bet, exclusive Red Rooms, and live chat with other players, offering a truly immersive and luxurious gaming experience.
Now that we've provided the inside scoop on our best live roulette games, you're probably eager to join the excitement. Well, here's your chance! Follow this step-by-step guide to dive headfirst into the action.
The roulette wheel is a symbol of chance and excitement, and it comes in various forms in live roulette gaming. Still, the 3 most popular versions are European, American, and French.
European roulette, which is the most popular, features 37 numbered pockets and just a single zero (0), giving you better odds (house edge 2.7%) than the American version (5.26%), which has a single zero (0) and a double zero (00). The French roulette wheel mirrors the European layout but includes additional insurance rules like La Partage and En Prison, reducing the house edge to an even friendlier 1.35%.
Inside bets are placed on specific numbers or combinations within the number grid. Since these require more precision, they offer higher potential payouts but also come with increased risk. The inside bets you can place are:
Betting on a single number. Payout: 35:1
Betting on 2 adjacent numbers. Payout: 17:1
Betting on 3 numbers in a row. Payout: 11:1
Betting on 4 numbers forming a square. Payout: 8:1
Betting on 2 adjacent rows of 3 numbers. Payout: 5:1
Outside bets are placed outside the number grid, covering larger groups of numbers. Since they cover more space, they provide lower potential payouts but offer better odds of winning, making them popular among cautious players looking to prolong their gaming sessions. Here are the outside bets you can place in live roulette:
Betting on the colour of the winning number. Payout: 1:1
Betting whether the winning number will be odd or even. Payout: 1:1
Betting whether the winning number will be high (19-36) or low (1-18). Payout: 1:1
Betting on 1 of 3 groups of 12 numbers (1-12, 13-24, 25-36). Payout: 2:1
Betting on 1 of 3 vertical columns of numbers. Payout: 2:1
At Casino Days, we offer a variety of unique live roulette variants to spice up your gaming experience. Unique takes, like Lightning Roulette, offer random multipliers up to 500x that can supercharge your potential wins for those aiming for that elusive jackpot-esque prize.

Now, before you start playing, it's essential to craft a strategy that can enhance your chances of success. Explore these betting strategies, each offering a unique approach to navigating the excitement of the roulette wheel. Still, it’s important to note that roulette is purely a game of chance, so these strategies offer no noticeable advantage while playing the game.
The Paroli strategy involves doubling your bet after each win to maximize winning streaks. Unlike other strategies, it's less risky as it capitalizes on hot streaks rather than chasing losses.
The D’Alembert strategy is another relatively conservative betting system in which players increase their bet by 1 unit after a loss and decrease by 1 unit after a win. By adjusting bet sizes incrementally, it aims to balance wins and losses over time.
Upon entering a live roulette game, you’ll be greeted by a high-definition video stream showcasing the live dealer and the roulette wheel. The wheel is typically located at the centre of the screen, with numbers 0-36 evenly distributed around it. The betting area, which is usually located below or to the side of the video feed, is where you go to place your bets.
Once you’ve placed your virtual chips on the table, the dealer leads the action, spinning the wheel and dropping the ball into play. The dealer interacts with players in real time throughout the game and announces the winner. You’ll also have access to live chat features that allow you to communicate directly with the dealer and other players at the table.
Like online slots and many other casino games, roulette is a game of luck. However, by incorporating the following tips, you can learn to play sustainably and responsibly.
