Online Roulette at Slotshopper Casino
Roulette is the quintessential casino game — a spinning wheel, a bouncing ball and a table full of options. Whether you’re a first-time punter or a seasoned player who knows the difference between en prison and la partage, Slotshopper Casino has a roulette table that’ll suit your style perfectly.
Types of Roulette Available
Slotshopper offers several distinct roulette variants, each with its own house edge, pace and betting options.
European Roulette
The most popular variant among UK players. The wheel features 37 pockets — numbers 1 through 36 plus a single zero. The house edge sits at 2.7%, which is significantly better than the American version. Bets range from straight-up single numbers through to outside bets covering roughly half the wheel. A solid starting point for beginners.
French Roulette
Basically European Roulette with two additional rules that reduce the house edge further on even-money bets:
- En Prison: If the ball lands on zero, even-money bets are held ‘in prison’ for the next spin rather than being lost outright
- La Partage: If the ball lands on zero, half of even-money bets are returned to the player
With la partage active, the house edge on even-money bets drops to just 1.35% — one of the lowest in casino gaming.
American Roulette
Features both a single zero and a double zero (00), giving the house a 5.26% edge. Worth knowing about but generally best avoided if you’re playing to maximise your odds.
Live Dealer Roulette
The live casino section at Slotshopper features multiple real-time roulette tables hosted by professional dealers in purpose-built studios. These are streamed in HD and support chat functionality so you can interact with the dealer and other players.

Roulette Betting Systems
No betting system can overcome the house edge over a long enough session — the maths always wins eventually. That said, many players enjoy using structured systems to manage their bankroll and extend their sessions. Here are the most commonly used:
Martingale
Double your stake after each loss, returning to your starting bet after a win. Works over short sessions but requires a large bankroll and can hit table limits quickly during a losing streak.
Fibonacci
Bets follow the Fibonacci sequence: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13… Move one step forward on a loss, two steps back on a win. More gradual than the Martingale and less likely to blow your budget in one go.
D’Alembert
Increase your bet by one unit after a loss, decrease by one unit after a win. A relatively conservative approach popular with players who like steady, measured sessions.
Flat Betting
Simply bet the same amount on every spin. No progression, no escalating risk. Boring in the eyes of some players but perfectly sensible for managing a session budget.
