Master Roulette Online with Maya Casino: Your Complete Guide

Roulette is one of the most iconic table games in both land-based and online casinos. Its name comes from the French word for “little wheel,” and the game’s appeal lies in its simplicity and variety. Players at Maya Casino can bet on a wide range of outcomes, including single numbers, groups of numbers, red or black, odd or even, and more as the wheel spins.

Dating back to 18th-century France, roulette is traditionally managed by a croupier who collects all bets before launching a small white ball onto the spinning wheel. Those who correctly predict the landing spot of the ball emerge as winners. At Maya Casino, we offer a full suite of roulette variations, complete with detailed betting options to suit every type of player.

Main Types of Roulette

European Roulette
Originating in Monte Carlo during the mid-19th century, European Roulette is the most popular version worldwide. Featuring 37 pockets (numbers 1–36 in red or black, plus a single green 0), this “single-zero” variant is ideal for new and experienced players alike. European Roulette has a Return to Player (RTP) of 97.30% and a house edge of 2.70%, making it one of the fairest options for players at Maya Casino.

American Roulette
American Roulette is widely played in the U.S. and includes an additional 00 pocket, bringing the total to 38 numbers. This increases the house edge to 5.26%, with an RTP of 94.74%. Unique to this version is the “basket” bet, covering 0, 00, 1, 2, and 3, which pays 6:1. While exciting, basket bets have a higher risk due to their 7.9% house edge.

French Roulette
French Roulette offers a distinctive table layout with French-named bets and special rules like la partage and en prison. These rules lower the house edge to 1.35% and boost the RTP to 98.65%. Even-money bets that land on 0 either return half the wager (la partage) or keep it “in prison” for another spin (en prison), giving players additional opportunities to win.

Live Roulette
For an immersive experience, Maya Casino offers Live Roulette variants, including European, American, and French. Play in real-time with professional croupiers, watch the wheel spin via HD streams, and interact with the dealer for a casino experience that feels authentic—even from home.
