Free roulette: learn a single-zero wheel on fun chips

Where to find roulette in practice mode

Roulette is not filed under Table Games, which holds only card games. On 9 October 2026 the Specialty tab held 4 games: European Roulette, Keno, Banana Jones and Fish Catch.

1. 1

   Open the lobby logged out

   Practice mode is for visitors who are not signed in, so sign out first if you have an account.

2. 2

   Go to Specialty

   European Roulette is the only wheel there, and the only one in the lobby.

3. 3

   Tap the tile and choose Try It!

   The table opens with R1,000.00 in fun chips. Play, the other button, is for real money.

Older Springbok pages still name American, French and Multiplayer Roulette, and some mention live dealers. None of those were in the lobby on the check date and its Live Dealer menu was empty, so European Roulette is the one wheel you can practise.

Inside and outside bets to try with fun chips

Inside bets sit on the numbers themselves; outside bets sit in the boxes around the grid. A European layout numbers its pockets 1 to 36 plus a single 0. These are the standard bets on that layout and how much of the wheel each one covers:

Standard European layout. Springbok publishes no payout table for its wheel, so check the game's own rules screen before relying on a figure.

Springbok says its single-zero wheel takes up to R1,000 on inside bets and R10,000 on outside bets. In fun mode the limit that matters more is the one you set yourself, so bet the size you would bet with rand.

The quickest way to learn a payout in practice mode is to watch one happen. Put one fun chip on a single number and another on red, and compare what each returns when it lands. That is a lesson about the rules, not about the next spin. For limits and rules in more depth, see this bet-by-bet guide to Springbok's roulette.

A practice session that teaches you something

• Learn the layout

  Place each bet in the table once, so you know where splits, corners and six lines go before a real chip ever does.

• Fix a stake and a spin count

  Use the chip size you would use with rand, and decide in advance how many spins you will play. Rounds are quick, and changing stakes after wins or losses is a habit worth not rehearsing.

• Watch the zero

  None of the outside bets covers 0. See what happens to them when it lands: that single pocket is where the house's margin lives.

Why no betting system beats the zero

Every spin is independent. The wheel keeps no memory of the last result, so red is no more likely after five blacks in a row. Systems that raise or lower the stake after a win or a loss only rearrange a session's ups and downs; the margin built into the zero applies to every bet you place, with fun chips or rand.

A doubling system shows the problem quickly. After seven losses in a row, the next bet is 128 times the first chip, more than everything lost on the run so far, and a balance or a table ceiling stops the climb long before the maths turns friendly.

Springbok publishes house-edge figures for its card tables but not for roulette, so this guide prints none for the wheel.
