Nothing is as scary as that little white ball spinning around in the wheel possibly ruining your weekend plans.

YesPlay has something called Live Roulette under its Live Games area. The bets start from just R1. Keep in mind that easy does not mean magic. Roulette isn’t magic.

Common traps

·       Just because black came up four times in a row doesn’t mean that red is “due” to land.

·       Even-money bets are not always a sure thing. Even if you bet on red, black, odd, even, low, or high in roulette, you could still lose if the ball falls on zero.

·       A single-number bet might be what you’re looking for, since it has a standard 35:1 payout.

·       A larger bet doesn’t make a bad pick any better. Betting R58 on a poor choice is still a poor choice.

·       Forget about trying to guess what the dealer will do because it means nothing. The result will come from the spin regardless of the dealer’s choices.

What the wheel does

BetGames Live Roulette is pretty much like the classic European roulette you might have already seen. The wheel has numbers from 1 to 36 including a single zero, with the RTP around 97.30%. This doesn’t mean you’re going to get that number back, but it’s a good number to keep in mind.

Make sure you read more on YesPlay to check the game page. It’s always a good move to know the game you’re playing, so you don’t get that sinking feeling when the results slap your ticket flat.

Safer habits

A bad habit in roulette is when you try to pretend that you somehow found a strategy for the game, instead of just choosing random numbers. If you like betting on colours, accept a smaller payout. If you pick one number, just be prepared that you might be waiting a long time to actually win. Listen to your wallet and don’t bet more than you can afford to lose.

Betting R23 on red could earn you absolutely nothing if the ball lands on zero. Putting a chip on number 17 could make you rich, but that is highly unlikely to happen. Live Roulette is great if you like casino type games that have a familiar wheel and simple rules.
