An In-Depth Look at the Roulette Variants at Netflix Casino

As I settled in for my testing session at Netflix Casino, I was eager to explore the different roulette variants on offer. I had my budget set at £100, and I planned to try each variant for about an hour. With a solid Return to Player (RTP) percentage of around **96.3%** across the board, I was curious to see how the gameplay would unfold.

My first stop was the classic European Roulette. The rules were straightforward, and I placed a minimum bet of £1 on the red. The game allows a maximum bet of £500 while wagering, which seemed promising for those wanting to go big. In my first 30 minutes, I noticed the game weighted payouts for outside bets at approximately **2:1**, which felt fair. I turned my £1 into **£15** before the session ended, boosting my initial bankroll.

Next, I moved on to American Roulette, where I quickly realised the house edge is slightly higher due to the double zero. The RTP drops to around **94.74%**, which had me a bit apprehensive. I tested this variant with a £2 bet on a single number, and it took a while — about 20 spins — before I hit a win. The payout for a straight-up bet was **35:1**, which helped recoup some losses, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that the odds were stacked against me.

Then, I decided to try my luck with French Roulette. This variant introduced the “La Partage” rule, which offers players a second chance on even-money bets if the ball lands on zero. I placed a £5 bet on even. Given the RTP of approximately **97.3%**, I found this to be the most favourable variant. In about 40 minutes, I managed to break even, thanks to that rule. I ended with **£50** from my initial stake, which felt like a win in my books.

Here’s a quick comparison of the three variants I played:

One thing I flagged during my testing was the **wagering requirements** tied to bonuses. Netflix Casino typically has a 35x wagering requirement, which, let’s be honest, can drain your bankroll if you’re not careful. I didn’t play with bonuses this time, but I could see how that could complicate things, especially with the different game weightings. For instance, European Roulette might contribute only **20%** towards the wagering requirement, while slots might contribute **100%**.

I also noticed that the expiry windows on bonuses were a bit tight. They usually last about **7 days**, which might not be enough time for players to meet those wagering requirements, especially if they prefer table games.

In the end, my experience with the roulette variants at Netflix Casino was a mixed bag. European and French Roulette offered better odds, while American Roulette felt risky due to the lower RTP. The range of bet sizes allowed is quite flexible, which is a plus for both casual players and high rollers.

I spent a total of **£60** over the three variants and walked away with **£50** in cash — which, given the nature of gambling, felt like a small victory. Would I recommend it? Absolutely, but always keep an eye on those wagering contributions and expiry windows.
