How the small wheel works
Twelve numbers plus a zero. The layout is tiny: numbers 1 to 12 in a grid, red and black, with 0 on top.
Bet types mirror normal roulette, scaled down. Straight on one number, splits, streets of three, corners of four, and even-money bets on colour, odd/even and low (1–6) or high (7–12). When 0 hits, outside bets lose, same as always.
Rounds are quick. The wheel is small and the animation is short. That speed, plus the edge, is the combination to watch.
On demo availability: in 2023 there wasn't one for this title on our old page. Today it depends on the casino and the studio. If you can't find a free version, don't take that as a reason to try it for real "just to see". The table below tells you enough.
Payout table
| Bet | Numbers | Pays |
|---|---|---|
| Straight | 1 | 11:1 |
| Split | 2 | 5:1 |
| Street | 3 | 3:1 |
| Corner | 4 | 2:1 |
| Red/black, odd/even, 1–6/7–12 | 6 | 1:1 |
Notice what's missing: no dozens, no columns, no six-line in the usual sense. With only twelve numbers, the layout doesn't need them. Some versions add a bet on a group of six; it pays 1:1 like the colour bets.
Paytables can vary between studios. If yours differs, recalculate the edge or trust the RTP in game info.
7.69%: the reason this page is blunt
Here's the maths. A straight bet wins 1 time in 13 and pays 11:1, returning 12 units. Over 13 spins at C$1 you stake C$13 and get back C$12. One dollar lost out of 13: 7.69%.
Check the others: even-money bets cover 6 of 13 pockets and pay double, also 12 back from 13. Same 7.69%. The RTP is 92.31%.
That's almost three times a European wheel (2.70%) and about six times French roulette on even money (1.35%). Short version: Mini Roulette is the most expensive roulette on this site.
A tip, and it's not subtle
Play it for novelty in demo mode. For real money, pick a 37-pocket wheel instead.
Why do casinos offer it at all? Because it's quick and simple, and quick simple games are popular on phones. Nothing wrong with that as a design. It's just priced like a slot, not like a table game; plenty of slots return more than 92%.
If you do play it for real, use the smallest stake and a short session; fast rounds and a high edge burn through budgets quickly. Picture the Interac daily limit running out on a Friday night: that's roughly how fast a careless session can go.
No strategy improves 7.69%. Every bet has the same edge, and nothing on this page promises a win.
RNG only
Mini Roulette is a software game. There's no 13-pocket live wheel in the studios we know of; the format exists because software makes it easy.
So RNG decides each spin, the animation shows it, and a demo may or may not be offered. If live roulette is what you're after, a standard European or French live table costs far less per C$ wagered. See live casino.
Where to find it from Canada
For Québec, casinos with French interfaces include Royal Vegas and Ruby Fortune. We did not confirm a Mini Roulette table at either; search the lobby and check the provider.
Frankly, we'd point you to our French Roulette page before this one. If the small wheel still calls, keep stakes tiny.
