How to play 20p Roulette
20p Roulette plays like any European roulette table, with one rule that is specific to it: the chip is 20p and the spin minimum is £1. Once that is understood, the rest is standard. Here is a full spin from an empty layout to a settled bet.
Step 1: know the two numbers
Chip value, 20p. Minimum per spin, £1. Five chips. The game will not spin for less. Maximum per spin is £10,000 on the official version; a site may set a lower cap, and the limits panel in the game shows what applies where you are.
Step 2: choose inside or outside
Inside bets go on the numbers: a single number (35:1), two adjacent numbers (17:1), a row of three (11:1), a block of four (8:1), two rows of six (5:1). Outside bets go on the groups: a dozen or a column (2:1), red/black, odd/even or 1–18/19–36 (1:1). The probability falls as the payout rises, and the house keeps 2.70% whichever you choose.
Step 3: place the chips
Tap a spot on the layout to add a 20p chip. Tap again to add another. Five taps on one number is a £1 straight-up. One tap each on red, black, odd, even and a dozen is £1 spread across five bets, which is a confused way to play but legal. Keep an eye on the total shown by the spin button; it needs to read £1.00 or more.
Step 4: use the racetrack if you want wheel bets
The oval above the layout is the racetrack. Tap any number on it and the game places a five-chip neighbours bet: that number and two on each side in wheel order. The buttons for Voisins, Tiers and Orphelins place the classic French sections in one go. The chip counts for those are fixed by the pattern, so check the total before you spin.
Step 5: spin
Press spin. The ball runs, drops, and a recorded voice calls the number. Winning chips are paid at the posted odds and your stake on winning bets is returned with the win; losing chips go. On a zero, every outside bet loses in full. There is no La Partage here.
Step 6: repeat, adjust or clear
Repeat places the same chips again. Clear last removes the most recent chip, which is useful when you tap one too many. Clear all starts fresh. The history strip at the edge shows recent numbers; it is there for interest and has no bearing on what comes next.
A sensible first session
Pick one outside bet or one five-chip number and stick to it for fifty spins. At £1 a spin that is £50 through the table and about £1.35 in expected loss, with the real result anywhere from a few pounds down to a 35:1 hit. Decide beforehand what you will stop at, up or down, and keep to it.
Your questions
- Can I bet 20p on red?
Not on its own. The spin needs £1 in total on the table. 20p on red plus 80p anywhere else is fine; a lone 20p chip is not.
- What does a neighbours bet cost?
Five chips, so £1. One on your number and one on each of the two numbers either side of it on the wheel.
- Does the game remember my last bet?
Yes. The repeat button places the previous spin's chips again. Clear last removes the most recent chip; clear all empties the layout.
