Two Roulette Concepts You Need to Understand
- House Edge — The Casino’s Advantage Each Spin
-
The house edge refers to the mathematical percentage giving the casino a long-term advantage in every roulette game. For European Roulette (37-number wheel with a single zero slot), the house edge is about 2.7%. This means for every RM 100 wagered over time, RM 2.70 is expected to stay with the casino. In contrast, American Roulette has two zero slots (0 and 00), increasing the house edge to about 5.26%. Understanding this helps you choose the more profitable variant—European Roulette is always the better option mathematically.
Simple example: If you bet RM 10 on “red” (an outside bet with nearly 1:1 odds) in European Roulette, your chance of winning is 18/37 or about 48.6%—just under 50% due to the single zero slot.
- Inside Bets vs Outside Bets — Risk and Reward
-
Roulette offers two main betting categories that differ in terms of risk and potential reward. Inside Bets includes options like Straight Up (single number, pays 35:1), Split (two adjacent numbers, pays 17:1), and Street (three numbers, pays 11:1). These offer higher rewards but lower chances of winning. Outside Bets covers options such as Red/Black, Odd/Even, or High/Low — all paying 1:1 with close to 50% winning odds.
Simple example: Betting RM 5 on number 17 (Straight Up) means you could win RM 175 (RM 5 × 35) if the ball hits that exact number—but the odds are only 1 in 37 spins.
Three Main Roulette Variants at 1shows
European Roulette — The Smart Basic Choice
European Roulette uses a wheel with 37 numbers (0 to 36) and is the most popular variant among online casino players worldwide, including in Malaysia. Its main advantage is a lower house edge compared to other variants. For players just starting out with roulette, European Roulette is the ideal entry point — the mechanics are straightforward and the table layout is optimised for mobile screens on 1shows.
Lightning Roulette — Electrifying Spins with Random Multipliers
Lightning Roulette is a variant that combines standard European Roulette mechanics with a twist — each round, between 1 and 5 "Lucky Numbers" are randomly selected and assigned multipliers ranging from 50x to 500x. If the ball lands on a Lucky Number you've bet on, your payout is multiplied accordingly. This makes Lightning Roulette hugely popular among players who want the potential for bigger wins on every spin. That said, Straight Up bets in this variant carry a lower base payout (29:1 versus the standard 35:1) to offset the multiplier potential.
American Roulette — The Double-Zero Wheel
American Roulette uses a wheel with 38 numbers — including 0 and 00 — which pushes the house edge up to around 5.26%. Despite the higher house edge, some players prefer this variant out of familiarity or simply to try a different roulette experience. For players who prioritise the best mathematical odds, European Roulette or Lightning Roulette is the stronger choice.
| Variant | Total Numbers | House Edge | Suitable for |
|---|---|---|---|
| European Roulette | 37 (0–36) | About 2.7% | All levels |
| Lightning Roulette | 37 + multipliers | Slightly higher | Players seeking big rewards |
| American Roulette | 38 (0, 00, 1–36) | About 5.26% | Players who enjoy variety |
Slots vs Roulette
Unlike roulette, which uses a physical wheel and live dealers, slots rely entirely on software RNG. If you prefer visually rich games with a wide range of themes, explore the slot machines on the platform.

Roulette in the Life of Malaysian Players
Players who try Lightning Roulette at 1shows are often drawn to the surprise element of 50x–500x multipliers that appear randomly every spin. Within the Malaysian player community, this variant has grown in popularity thanks to its blend of standard roulette mechanics and payout potential that far exceeds regular winnings — making every spin feel more exciting and worth following.
Many Malaysian players access 1shows roulette tables during lunch breaks or after work. The table interface is optimized for phone screens—betting buttons, wheel display, and number stats are all compact and thumb-friendly. This reduces the need to sit at a PC and allows quick play sessions anywhere.
New roulette players at 1shows are often advised to start with Outside Bets like Red/Black or Odd/Even. These nearly 50/50 odds provide longer playtime with controlled risk, helping players get used to the game flow before moving on to riskier but potentially more rewarding Inside Bets.
More experienced roulette players at 1shows often opt for higher-limit tables in the live casino section. These usually provide a more exclusive atmosphere with fewer players and higher max stakes, suitable for confident players wanting to play bigger.

Roulette Security & Fair Play
SSL Encryption & Data Security
All communications between your device and 1shows servers are protected with SSL encryption. This means your login credentials, account details, and transaction records are transmitted in an encrypted format that cannot be read by any unauthorised third party — the same protection standard used by financial and online entertainment platforms.
Online Roulette Fairness
For RNG roulette variants (non-live casino), round outcomes are determined by a Random Number Generator (RNG) running on the server. This system ensures every spin produces a truly random number, free from any predictable pattern. For live casino variants, outcomes are determined by a real physical wheel operated by a human dealer streamed in real time — providing players with an added layer of transparency.
