If you have never experienced the sheer excitement of playing Roulette in a real life casino, then William Hill have the perfect solution for you – Live Roulette featuring real croupiers and tables broadcast live from their studios in Latvia and streamed in real time to your computer!

This version of online roulette uses the standard European Rules meaning that the wheel contains the numbers 0-36 and placing a bet is very simple. All you have to do is click on a chip value that you are comfortable with and then click on the Roulette board to place your bets. Clicking more than once on a position will add the number of chips that you are placing on that position and you can place as many bets on as many areas of the board as you like.

You will be given a set amount of time to place these bets, and when the time is up and you have confirmed these the dealer with set the ball spinning on the wheel. When the ball stops on a number the round is over and depending on how you bet, any winnings are paid out to you.

There are a number of different bets that you can place when playing roulette.

Straight Up Bet – this is a bet that you can place on any number including the zero. If that number is where the roulette ball stops then you win 35x your wager.

Split Bet – you can bet of two numbers next to each other on the board by placing your chip on the line between the two numbers – either side by side, or above and below. If one of your selected numbers is a winning bet, you will get 17 x your wager back in winnings.

Street Bet – the numbers of a roulette table are laid out in three columns, with 12 numbers on each column. The three numbers reading across these columns (for example, the numbers 16,17 and 18) are known as streets. Placing a chip at the end of any of these streets will mean that you will win if the ball lands on any of the3 numbers on that street, and it pays out at 11x your wager.

Corner Bets – A very popular bet, it allows you bet on four numbers that are touching each other. To make this bet simply place your chip on the crossed lines where the four numbers meet. If one of these four numbers win then you will get 8x your wager.

Four Bet – Similar to a Corner Bet, the four bet allows you to be on the numbers 0,1,2, and 3. Again it pays out at 8x your wager.

Line Bet – You can bet on 6 numbers in one go by placing two street bets (see above). By placing your chip at the end of the two streets (which must be next to each other) on the corresponding bisecting line you can cover off about 1/6^th of the board in one wager. Obviously, the more number that are covered the lower the return (as the more chance there is for you to win!), but this still returns at 5x your wager.

Column Bet – In the same way that a street bet covers three numbers going across the board, a column bet covers off the 12 numbers running along the online roulette table. Covering off this many numbers in one bet will return at 2x your multiple.

Dozen Bet – Paying out at the same odds as a column bet, you can wager on whether the ball will land in one of three predetermined areas – 1-12, 13-24 and 25-36. There are separate boxes just outside the main table for you to place these bets.

Red/Black, Even/Odd and Low/High Bets – again there are separate bozes on the outer table for you to place these bets and each of them allows you to bet on 50% of the table. Depending on where the ball lands you will win if you predicted correctly (with Low/High bets you are betting on whether the number that the ball stops on is lower or higher than 18). These bets are paid out at evens, so you get your stake plus your stake again back.

Roulette is a fabulous game whether you play it in a real casino or an online casino, and the William Hill Live Casino version is great fun to play – why don’t you try it for yourself now?
