Darwin Casino Roulette

Darwin’s SkyCity Casino is the only land based casino in Darwin and one of two land based casinos in the Northern Territory (with the Alice Springs Casino being the other one). The casino venue underwent a major 30 million dollar renovation back in 2008 that has since helped to substantially increase local, interstate and foreign visitors, driving up tourism and revenue.

Roulette gaming at the Darwin’s casino

On the main gaming floor you will find several roulette table, both American (double zero) and European (single zero) formats. Table betting minimum limits range from $1 to $5.

There are also rapid roulette terminals – electronic roulette gaming machines that are connected to a live feed of an actual roulette wheel. The wheel is spun automatically every 30 seconds, and you are presented with the live display of the wheel and a digital representation of the betting layout, where you can easily place your desired wagers.

A countdown clock is displayed so you know how much time you have to bet before the next spin. Play the game by feeding cash into the terminal, and your winnings are automatically credited onto your screen. When finished, you can print out a voucher of your credits to exchange for money at the cashier window.

Rapid roulette offers the single zero variant of the game, more privacy and lower betting limits.
