Live roulette variants
In the live casino you will find traditional casino games such as baccarat, poker, blackjack and roulette.
The live casino has besides the regular roulette variants also different live roulette games. These can only be played at online casinos. In land-based casinos like for example the Holland Casino you can also find a number of live roulette games. These are the five best known live roulette games:
Double Ball Roulette
In Double Ball Roulette there are two balls in the kettle. Players have the chance to win an extremely high payout of 1300:1. This is the case when both balls fall on the same number and there is a bet on that number. The game is very popular. Keep in mind that not every casino will offer this game.

Lightning Roulette
Lightning Roulette from Evolution Gaming is the most popular variant at the moment. A Random Number Generator allows lightning to strike randomly on one to five numbers per round of play. Multipliers can range from a minimum of 50x the bet to as much as 500x the bet. Read more here.
Immersive Roulette
Another variant is Immersive roulette. On this variant, images are transmitted in 200 frames per second in HD quality to the player’s screen. The camera can zoom in on the ivory ball in the wheel and images come into view in slow motion. This creates an “Immersive” experience, literally translated “Compelling”.
French roulette
French roulette is one of the better, classic variants. Players can place money on numbers 1 through 36 and on a single zero. Furthermore, it has a special ‘la partage’ rule whereby players lose half of their bet if the ball lands on a zero in the case of a single chance bet. The names of areas are in French.
American roulette
The American roulette tables come with a double zero. It has 1 through 36 numbers and a 0 and 00 on the table layout and wheel. This variant offers lower betting limits than other roulette variants. In addition, it has an extra bet called ‘five bet’, where you can bet your chips on five numbers at once. This variant is the one with the highest house edge and is best avoided.
