101 Roulette

101 Roulette is an RNG-based roulette variant developed by Playtech and released in 2018. The name refers to the 101 numbered pockets (0 through 100) on its playing surface. It is a virtual game, meaning results are produced by a random number generator rather than a live dealer. The game shares some structural ideas with Playtech’s 1000 Diamond Roulette but stands apart through its card-suit pockets and distinctive betting menu.

The game has 105 pockets in total. There are 100 numbered positions (1 through 100) split evenly between red and black, one standard zero pocket, and four additional pockets represented by playing card suits: hearts, diamonds, clubs, and spades. All five of the non-numbered pockets are coloured green, making 101 Roulette effectively a game with five house pockets rather than the single zero found on a standard European wheel.

With 105 pockets to accommodate, a conventional circular wheel is not feasible. Instead, the game uses a fixed oval track around which only the ball travels. The track itself stays stationary while the ball circulates, which is the opposite of standard roulette where both the wheel and the ball are in motion. Your active bets are marked on the track with small indicators so you can follow the ball’s progress as it slows.

A Straight Up bet on a single number pays 100:1 in 101 Roulette. That is nearly triple the 35:1 paid in European or American roulette. The higher payout reflects the harder odds of hitting one specific pocket out of 105. Other bet types scale accordingly: a Split (two adjacent numbers) pays 49:1, a Corner (four numbers) pays 24:1, and outside bets such as red/black pay 1:1, the same as in standard roulette.

Lucky Bet is a toggle that can be switched on or off at any point. When active, clicking a number on the betting grid automatically places chips on all nine positions that border that number, covering every split and corner around it. It is a convenient way to cover a small neighbourhood of numbers on the table without manually placing each chip, and it uses the same chip denomination as your current selection.

Quick Bet automatically places a Straight Up wager on every number in the same row and column as the number you select, forming a cross or T-shape on the grid. This covers 19 numbers in total at the same stake per number. It is well suited to players who want fast, broad coverage of the table without setting up each bet individually. Both Lucky Bet and Quick Bet can be combined with the Rebet and 2x double-up buttons that appear after each spin.

Yes. The four card suit pockets are not purely house pockets in the way a zero is treated in standard roulette. They can be the subject of dedicated bets, including a Zero Corner wager that pays 32:1 and a Zero Street bet covering all five green pockets that pays 19:1. There are also combination bets that pair a card suit symbol with the numbered pockets that sit alongside it in the grid layout, giving you a modest spread of coverage at attractive odds.

The RTP is not a single fixed figure; it depends entirely on which bets you place. Straight Up bets carry the highest return at 96.19%. The Zero Line bet, which covers 15 numbers, drops to an RTP of 85.71%, representing a considerably higher house edge. Sticking to Straight Up wagers gives you the best theoretical return the game offers.

No. 101 Roulette does not feature a multiplier mechanic. The fixed payout of 100:1 on a Straight Up is the ceiling, with no random boost applied to winning numbers before each spin. If multipliers are the draw, Playtech’s Quantum Roulette (which can reach 500x on straight bets) is the alternative to consider. 101 Roulette trades multiplier excitement for a broader range of betting positions and the novelty of its five-pocket house structure.

The game runs on mobile browsers and does not require a separate download. However, the interface elements are relatively large to accommodate the oversized betting grid, which can feel crowded on small smartphone screens. A zoom button is built in so you can shift focus between the oval track and the table. Tablets give a more comfortable experience than compact phones, where navigating the 105-position grid takes some getting used to.
