What is Penny Roulette?

How to play Penny Roulette

Essentially, Penny Roulette is no different to any other standard European Roulette game. It has a total of 37 numbers including a green 0. The numbers 1 to 36 are either black or red. The game has a table that lists all the numbers and available betting options. There are 37 pockets that are found on the roulette wheel. Once the wheel starts spinning, the ball is spun the other way around. The result of a round is determined on the number and colour of the pocket that the balls lands into.

To play a round of Penny Roulette, players must select their stake by using chips that are found to the left-hand-side of the table. The chips vary in sizes, including a 1p chip. The other sizes include 5p, 10p, 20p, £1, £2, £5 and £10. As expected, Penny Roulette is more suitable for low rollers that prefer to place smaller bets.

Once the player has placed their bets on the table, they must click on the ‘Spin’ button which is found on the right-hand-side of the table. By click on the Spin button, the ball starts spinning on a 3D wheel that is seen above the table. Once the balls lands, the result of the round is determined on the pocket in which the ball has landed.

In Penny Roulette, there are a number of different bets that the player can wager on. That includes a variety of outside and inside bets. Moreover, players can also wager on French bets.

How a Betting System can Improve your Winning Chances

That means placing bets on either Red or Black, Odd or Even or 1-18 or 19-36. Below, we have included some of the most popular betting systems to use for Penny Roulette.

• The Martingale System – to use this strategy, the player must set an initial stake and double it every time they lose. In doing so, they will eventually reclaim all their losses and a small profit when they win.
• The Reverse Martingale System – to use this strategy, the player must set a starting stake and double it after every win. If they lose, they must return back to their initial stake.
• The Fibonacci System – to use this strategy, the player must combine the sum of their last two bets following the Fibonacci sequence. Once they lose, they must return to their starting stake.
