100 to 1 Roulette, written 100/1 on most lobby tiles, pays a hundred times your stake on a single number. That’s the hook and it works: this is the betting-shop game that moved online and kept its crowd. What the tile leaves out is that there’s no wheel, the “zeros” are five green shapes, and every bet on the layout returns less than it would on a European table. Where to play it online in the UK is below. Read the odds section before you do.

Same game at every site; limits are the operator’s. If you’ve played it in a shop, the online layout is the one you know.
What 100 to 1 Roulette actually is
Not roulette, in any sense a roulette player would recognise. The “wheel” is a track of 105 positions: numbers 1 to 100, half red and half black, plus five green shapes (circle, square, triangle, star, diamond) that play the role of zero. A ball runs the track and stops on one. There are no dozens; the layout uses tenths instead. There’s no high/low. Straight-up pays 100:1.
Who made it is a mess, and I’ll give you the honest version rather than pick a side. Inspired built the betting-shop original and still sells a retail version with a bonus wheel. The online build that UK casinos carry is distributed through the NYX/NextGen catalogue, which now sits inside Light & Wonder. Other sites credit Realistic Games or NetEnt; the NetEnt claim is almost certainly wrong. Release year is given as 2017, 2018 and 2019 by different sources. Not verified on either count. Playtech’s 101 Roulette is a different game.
Odds and payouts: every bet, honestly
Here’s the table most pages won’t show you, because it’s unflattering. With 105 positions, a fair straight-up would pay 104:1. It pays 100:1. Every other bet is short by a similar margin, and some by more.
| Bet | Covers | Payout | RTP | House edge |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Straight-up | 1 | 100:1 | 96.19% | 3.81% |
| Split | 2 | 49:1 | 95.24% | 4.76% |
| 3-number | 3 | 32:1 | 94.29% | 5.71% |
| Corner | 4 | 24:1 | 95.24% | 4.76% |
| 5-number | 5 | 19:1 | 95.24% | 4.76% |
| Row / column (10) | 10 | 9:1 | 95.24% | 4.76% |
| Shape line (15) | 15 | 11:2 | 92.86% | 7.14% |
| 20-number | 20 | 4:1 | 95.24% | 4.76% |
| Red / Black, Odd / Even | 50 | 1:1 | 95.24% | 4.76% |
Compare that with the 2.70% you’d pay on every bet at a European table. The best bet here, the straight-up, is 41% more expensive. Red/black is 76% more expensive and sits between European (2.70%) and American (5.26%). The shape line at 7.14% is in side-bet territory: worse than the American five-number bet, worse than almost anything on a real wheel.
Money. £5 on red for 100 spins: expect to lose about £23.80 here, £13.50 on a single-zero wheel. £5 straight-ups for 100 spins: £19.05 here against £13.50. Same hour, same stake, a tenner’s difference, and the 100:1 is what you’re paying it for.
Watch out for one source that reverses the straight-up and even-money returns. The figures above follow from the payout table and 105 positions; you can check them with a calculator.
Limits
Third-party, consistent across sources: 10p chips, £1 minimum per spin, £250 maximum on a straight-up, £10,000 maximum on outside bets, £100,000 maximum win. Operators may set their own. The £250 straight-up cap means the biggest single-number win is £25,000, not the six-figure number the “max win” suggests.
Features
Turbo or skip spin, repeat bet, clear last and clear all, a chip panel, and coverage markers that show how many of the 105 positions your bets touch. That last one is useful on a layout this unfamiliar. Nothing to save favourites, no racetrack, because there’s no wheel to run one round. It’s a shop machine on a phone, and it looks like it.
100 to 1 Roulette tips
The edge doesn’t move. No stake pattern makes 95.24% into 97.30%. What you can do is avoid the worst bits of the layout.
- Skip the shape line. 7.14% is the worst standard bet on the board. If you want 15 numbers, build it from rows and corners at 4.76%.
- Straight-ups are the “cheapest” bet here at 3.81%, which is backwards from most multiplier tables. If you’re going to play this game at all, the 100:1 is the least bad reason.
- Don’t play red/black for value. 4.76% on an even-money bet is nearly double European. If you want a long low-edge session, this isn’t the game; 20p Roulette from the same shop lineage is 2.70%, and a French table is 1.35%.
- Treat the coverage marker as a cost meter. More positions covered means more chips at 4.76% each. Twenty £1 chips is £20 for a 19% chance of £100 back.
- A Martingale bites harder on a 4.76% even-money bet than on a 2.70% one: same bust sequence, bigger expected loss on the way.
Who it’s for
Segment B players who know it from the bookies and want the 100:1 moment. Fair enough: it’s a familiar layout and the single-number payout is real. Keep it to straight-ups, keep the stake small, and you’re paying about a penny extra per pound over a proper wheel.
Anyone playing for value, or anyone who thinks it’s roulette: it isn’t, and every bet costs more. Open a European table instead.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Genuine 100:1 on a single number, the biggest flat straight-up payout in any UK “roulette”
- Betting-shop layout UK players already know
- £1 minimum, 10p chips; coverage markers help on the odd layout
- No side bets or opt-ins; the whole payout table is visible
Cons
- Every bet is worse than European: 3.81% at best, 7.14% at worst
- Not a wheel; odds and layout don’t transfer to or from real roulette
- Provider attribution and release year unresolved across sources
- £250 straight-up cap limits the headline win to £25,000
- No La Partage, no racetrack, dated presentation
Verdict
A shop game with a brilliant headline and a poor payout table. If you like the 100:1 and you know what it costs, play straight-ups and enjoy it. If you came here thinking it’s roulette with a bigger jackpot, it’s roulette with a bigger edge on everything, and the jackpot is the bait.
Mug’s game for anything other than single numbers.
Rating: 2.5/5
