Roulette: the Automated Roulette by Pragmatic Play

The game is available at Casino King, alongside the other online roulette games in the catalogue. A single zero, a 97.30% RTP and classic payouts of up to 35:1: the format stays faithful to the European rules, in a quicker version built for online play.

What is Roulette?

Roulette is a fully automated European roulette created by Pragmatic Play. A physical wheel spins continuously in a studio filmed in high definition. The ball is fired into the wheel by a mechanical launcher, with no human involvement.

The absence of a dealer changes the tempo of the game. There is no presenting and no pause between rounds. Each round begins as soon as the previous one ends. The outcome, however, remains that of a real wheel, watchable live on screen.

The wheel holds 37 pockets, numbered 0 to 36, with a single zero. That is the classic European layout. Regular players will find their bearings straight away: the betting grid, the even-money chances and the straight-up numbers.

The broadcast runs as a continuous stream with several camera angles. A wide shot shows the full wheel. A close-up follows the ball at the decisive moment. The stream stays stable even on an average connection, a well-known strength of Pragmatic Play's studios.

How a round of Roulette plays out

Every round follows the same short, easy-to-read sequence. A betting window opens first, lasting a few seconds. The player places chips on the grid: a specific number, a combination or an even-money bet.

Betting then closes automatically. The launcher sends the ball onto the spinning wheel. The camera tracks the ball's run until it settles into a pocket.

The winning number appears immediately. Winnings are credited without delay, and a new betting window opens. This continuous rhythm sets the automated format apart from classic live tables, where the pace depends on the dealer. Here, rounds follow one another noticeably faster.

There is no obligation to bet on every round, though. It is perfectly possible to sit out one or several spins, watch the results and return to the grid when ready. The pace is quick, but the decision rests entirely with the player.

The bets available on Roulette

The grid carries the full range of European roulette bets. Inside bets target specific numbers. Outside bets cover wider areas of the layout, with higher odds of landing but smaller payouts.

The main payouts are as follows:

• Straight up (one number): 35 to 1

• Split (two numbers): 17 to 1

• Street (three numbers): 11 to 1

• Corner (four numbers): 8 to 1

• Six line (six numbers): 5 to 1

• Column or dozen: 2 to 1

• Even-money bets (red/black, odd/even, low/high): 1 to 1

A racetrack completes the classic grid. It is used to place the announced bets: Voisins du Zéro, Tiers du Cylindre and Orphelins. These selections cover whole sectors of the wheel in a single move, an option regular players are fond of.

All of these options can be combined freely within the same round. A straight-up bet can sit alongside an even-money one. A dozen can complement a racetrack sector. This flexibility lets players adjust their coverage of the layout round by round. Table limits are displayed clearly before each spin.

The RTP of Roulette: 97.30%

Roulette carries a theoretical return to player of 97.30%. The house edge therefore stands at 2.70%. That figure matches the standard for single-zero European roulette.

This layout differs from American roulette, where the double zero pulls the theoretical return down to around 94.74%. Mathematically, the single zero remains the more favourable of the two classic formats.

The 97.30% figure is a theoretical value, calculated over a very large number of rounds. It applies evenly to every bet on the grid, from straight-up numbers to even-money chances. No wager receives a different mathematical treatment here.

One further point worth noting: the result does not rely on a random number generator. The ball and the wheel are physical. Every winning number comes from a genuine mechanical draw, filmed continuously and verifiable on screen.

The Roulette interface: statistics and ease of play

Pragmatic Play uses its unified interface here, identical across all of its roulette tables. Getting to grips with it is immediate, even on a first round.

The Hot & Cold module shows which numbers have landed most and least often over recent spins. The results history stays on screen at all times. Charts break down the spread of outcomes by zone: red/black, odd/even, columns.

Shortcuts make play smoother still. The rebet button replays the previous selection in one tap. Doubling the stake is just as quick. On mobile, the grid adapts to the vertical screen and keeps every function of the desktop version.

Who is Roulette for?

The format suits, first and foremost, players who enjoy pace. Short rounds and a continuous flow create a dense experience, with no waiting between spins.

It also appeals to those who prefer playing without any interaction with a dealer. The atmosphere is understated, focused entirely on the wheel and the grid. Nothing pulls attention away from the game itself.

The rules remain those of traditional European roulette. Anyone used to the classic tables has nothing new to learn. Only the tempo changes, and that is precisely what gives this game its identity.
