How Roulette Works — A Quick Rundown
Roulette is a casino game played on a circular wheel numbered 0 to 36 (European version) or 00 to 36 (American version). The dealer spins the wheel in one direction and releases a small ball in the opposite direction. Whichever number the ball lands on is the winning number.
Players place their bets before the wheel stops — on a single number, a group of numbers, a colour (red or black), or whether the number is odd or even. Each bet type carries a different payout rate based on its statistical probability.
At fd2, you can play roulette in either a digital table format or as Live Casino, where a real dealer runs the game live via video stream. Both formats are accessible directly from your mobile device or computer.
Quick Reference: Bet Types and Payout Rates
A simple example: if you bet RM 10 on a single number (straight up) and the ball lands exactly on it, you'll receive RM 360 (RM 10 stake + RM 350 winnings at 35:1). Below is a quick reference table of the main bet types in European roulette.
| Bet Types | Description | Payout Rate | Win Probability |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single Number (Straight Up) | Bet on 1 number only | 35 : 1 | 2.7% |
| Two Numbers (Split) | Chip placed on the border between 2 adjacent numbers | 17 : 1 | 5.4% |
| Red / Black | Bet on the colour of the winning number | 1 : 1 | 48.6% |
| Odd / Even | Bet on whether the winning number is odd or even | 1 : 1 | 48.6% |
| Dozens (1–12, 13–24, 25–36) | Bet on a group of 12 numbers | 2 : 1 | 32.4% |
The rates above apply to European Roulette. American Roulette carries a higher house edge (5.26%) due to the additional "00" pocket.

Get to Know the Three Roulette Versions Available
European Roulette — The Most Popular Choice
European roulette uses a wheel with numbers 1 to 36 and a single "0" pocket. This gives the house edge a low 2.7%, making it the mathematically more favourable option for players. Most Malaysian players at fd2 choose this version as their starting point, thanks to its fairer payout rates compared to the American version.
American Roulette — Two Zero Pockets
The American version adds a "00" pocket alongside the standard "0", bringing the total to 38 numbers. This addition raises the house edge to 5.26%. While the bet variations remain the same, the winning probability on each bet type is slightly lower. Players already familiar with European roulette may want to try this version for a different experience.
Live Casino with Real Dealers
Live roulette lets you play alongside a real human dealer in real time via high-quality video stream. You can watch the wheel spin, hear the ball drop, and interact in a far more authentic casino environment. This format has grown increasingly popular among Malaysian players because it combines the convenience of playing from home with a genuinely immersive casino experience.
All three formats are accessible on mobile without needing to download a separate app, although account registration required to start playing.
