Rainbet roulette: live wheels, auto wheels and an Original

Which Rainbet roulette tables are there?

Rainbet roulette comes in three formats. The live lobby holds dealer and auto wheels from Pragmatic Play, and the Originals list holds Rainbet's own Roulette.

Why does the number of zeros matter?

The number of green pockets sets the house edge on a roulette wheel. A single-zero wheel has 37 pockets and a house edge of 2.70%. A double-zero wheel has 38 pockets and an edge of 5.26%. Both pay 35 to 1 on a single number, so the extra pocket is pure cost to the player.

The wheel type is shown on each table before you bet. Check it first, because no betting pattern makes up for a second zero.

Which bets can you place?

Roulette bets fall into two groups: inside bets on numbers and outside bets on groups of numbers.

Outside bets land often and pay little. Inside bets land rarely and pay a lot. The house edge is the same on both, so the choice shapes the session and does nothing to the long-run cost.

How do auto and mega wheels differ?

An auto wheel is a real wheel spun by a machine, with no dealer and a shorter round. Rainbet Speed Auto Roulette is the quick version. Rainbet Auto Mega Roulette is an automatic wheel too, and its rules are shown on the table. Read them before the first spin, because a table's own rules decide what each bet pays.

Can you verify a roulette spin?

Only on the in-house version. Roulette is listed among the 15 Rainbet Originals, and Rainbet Originals are provably fair. How results on the Originals are checked is on Rainbet provably fair.

Rainbet also describes a multiplayer game, EOS Roulette, whose randomness comes from EOS blockchain blocks. Live and auto wheels are physical, so they're watched, not verified.

Do betting systems work on roulette?

No betting system changes the house edge on roulette. Each spin is independent, and a run of red tells you nothing about the next pocket. Doubling after a loss changes the size of your bets and leaves the odds where they were, and it can empty a balance fast.

A fixed budget works better than a system. Decide what the session costs before the first spin.

How does a live roulette round run?

1. The betting window opens and you place chips on the layout.
2. The dealer, or the machine on an auto wheel, spins the wheel and releases the ball.
3. Betting closes shortly after the spin starts.
4. The ball lands, the winning number is shown and bets are settled.

Software and in-house versions have no shared window to wait for, so rounds go at your own pace.

What does each kind of bet do to a session?

The bet you choose sets how bumpy the session is. Take two players with the same budget on a single-zero wheel. One bets on red each spin and wins nearly half the time, so the balance drifts slowly. The other bets one number each spin and wins once in 37 spins on average, so the balance falls steadily and then jumps.

Both face the same 2.70% edge on every chip. Spreading chips over many numbers on one spin doesn't change that either. It only trades a bigger chance of a small win for a smaller chance of a large one.

How do you set a budget for roulette?

• Decide the total for the session and the size of one bet before you start.
• Keep the bet size fixed. Don't raise it after a loss.
• Count spins. A fast wheel can play more than sixty an hour.
• Stop at the limit you set, win or lose.
