Live Roulette in Australia
It’s crazy how popular online roulette has become. Even when you go to a bricks-and-mortar casino to play live roulette, you see all of those display screens lined up for either semi-automated or fully automated versions of roulette – often both.
I love roulette in all its forms, but we’ve got the best of both worlds here at Joe Fortune. We started this whole thing in 2016 with the best online casino games in the business. Now we’ve also got the No. 1 Live Dealer roulette games in the world, putting all the sights and sounds of this must-play classic on your phone, tablet or computer.
Even though my team and I have spent countless hours scouring the globe for the best in real money live roulette, Australia is our home, so we’ve made doubly sure these games are proper for the Land of Oz. Your dealers – or croupiers in this case – will take care of all your needs in fluent English, just like they do at the live casino.
That’s assuming you want to play live roulette online with an actual person as the attendant. If you prefer the automated version, our AutoRoulette games will fit the bill. Either way, American Roulette and European Roulette are both on the menu, at stakes ranging from pocket change to thousands of dollars.
The best thing about the live roulette games at Joe Fortune is how easy they are to play. Roulette is a game of pure chance, so you don’t need to memorize any strategies or worry about complex rules – just put your virtual chips down on your favourite numbers and let the wheel spin.
Having said that, there are all kinds of interesting bets you can make in roulette. And if you understand the one big difference between European and American Roulette, you can maximize your chances of winning. I’ll tell you all about it in a moment; first, it’s my pleasure to welcome you to Joe Fortune. Here’s how you can get started playing roulette with us.
How to play live roulette in Australia for real money?
Like I said, playing roulette is about as simple as it gets. The roulette wheel is marked with the numbers 1 through 36 – not in that order – coloured alternately in red and black. The European wheel has an additional single-zero (“0”) marked in green, while the American wheel has both the single-zero and the double-zero (“00”). These are the numbers you’ll be betting on.
As you place your bets in the designated areas on the roulette table’s layout, the wheel will be spinning; the croupier will then take the small white roulette ball and send it spinning in the other direction, around the outer rim of the wheel. You can keep wagering until the croupier says “No more bets.”
Eventually, the roulette ball will lose momentum and fall into one of the numbered pockets on the wheel – the winning number. The croupier will then determine the winning bets, sweep away the chips from the losing bets, and pay out the winners. Then it’s on to the next spin. Simple, right?
Right. But again, there’s more than enough going on with roulette to keep it from getting boring. You’ll see what I mean when you get a closer look at the different roulette games we have for you on tap.
Don't forget we are a mobile casino, as well as a Telegram casino, if you prefer playing on the couch from your phone!
What are the live roulette games you can play at Joe Fortune?
Roulette may have come from France, but the game of European Roulette we know and love in Oz, with just the single-zero on the wheel, was actually invented in Germany. American Roulette is based on the original French game, which included the double-zero. This is the version that got spread across the Western Hemisphere; we got the European model.
Here’s the good news: You can play both European and American Roulette at Joe Fortune. Almost all of the bets are the same between the two versions, although American Roulette doesn’t include the “call” or “announced” bets you see on the European layout’s racetrack-shaped oval.
Roulette bets can be “straight up” on any single number, or they can be on multiple numbers – like the “split” bet, where you put your money on any two adjoining numbers (horizontal or vertical) on the layout. For example, if you place one chip on the line shared by 1 and 4, that’s a split bet. Check out our roulette FAQ and Help guides to learn more about the different bets you can make, and where to place your chips.
Of course, you can also bet on things like whether the roulette ball will land on a red number or a black number. These bets have their own spaces on the outside of the layout, so they’re known as “outside” bets, while the others are called “inside” bets.
No matter which bets you make, the Return to Player (RTP) is the same for European Roulette: 97.30%. American Roulette has that extra zero on the wheel, so the RTP is slightly smaller at 94.74%. The lone exception on the American wheel is the “top line” bet (0, 00, 1, 2, 3), which has an RTP of 92.11%. Knowing this will help you stretch your roulette dollar to the max.
Why play live roulette at Joe Fortune?
Chances are you’ve played roulette before, so you already know how much fun this game is. But it’s even more fun when you play at Joe Fortune – especially when you play live roulette. You can see which croupier is at the wheel before you play; choose your favourite, or play AutoRoulette if you prefer.
If you do play with a live attendant, you’ll be able to chat with them in real time, and with your fellow players if you’re feeling sociable. Our roulette games provide multiple camera angles, plus a “game history” that keeps track of which numbers have come up.
The game history feature will help you follow any roulette betting “strategies” you might want to use, such as the famous Martingale, where you keep doubling your even-money bet (like Red/Black) every time you lose, until you finally win it all back. But beware: These strategies don’t actually give you any edge, and should be used for entertainment purposes only.
I think you’ll be very pleased with the quality of our live roulette games, but I’m especially proud of the customer service we provide at Joe Fortune. This is what really separates us from the pack. You could play live roulette just about anywhere, but we do it better. Banking with us is a breeze, and we’ve got the most generous rewards packages in the business.
