Roulette is a numbers game. It is when luck determines who wins (and who loses) at the online casino. Getting the selection of numbers right, at least some of the time, is the key to kiffness, Bokke… and we are here to help you pick like a pro!

Here is a question for you okes out there. How do ordinary folks become stars? Yes, most of them have raw talent like the Amajimbos, the next gen of ZA footballers who advanced to the knockout stage of the junior FIFA World Cup.

That said, there is one other significant factor that propels Mzansi-ites to the top… and that is preparation, people!

Preparation is Key at the #1 SA-Facing Instant Play Casino

When you prep for the big time, you get to the big time. That is a lesson you can apply right here at Springbok, instant play, online casino. Prepping can mean many things… like memorising a cheat sheet or basic betting strategy or choosing the numbers to bet on in roulette, long before you set the wheel in motion.

Before we get into the why and how of numbers selection in online roulette, here is a caveat. Your choices may or may not win. Eish! In roulette there is literally no way of predicting which numbered slot the ball will land in…  and that refers to many other casino games like slots, crash games, keno and plinko!

Why Select Special Numbers for Online Casino Roulette?

That begs the question… why go to all the trouble of selecting special numbers if there are no guarantees they will win?

The truth is, there is plenty going on in the universe that cannot be explained by chemistry, physics or science. Whether you are a believer or not, there could be a direct connection between the numbers you choose and L-U-C-K. That, Bokke, is easily the most influential element on the table when you play roulette at the online casino.

Using Your Zodiac Sign as Your Lucky Numbers Guide

According to astrology, your zodiac sign is the single-most important factor influencing your life. It is the key to your personality, personal relationships, career path and life decisions. When you use your birth sign to guide you, the chances of success are greater… or so the belief system goes.

How do you pick numbers based on your zodiac sign? Simply by referencing your sign’s ruling planet. All signs have a traditional number and that can be one of your most significant picks.

Ruling Planet Numbers Are Core to the Roulette Betting Strategy

The 12 astrological signs, together with their respective ruling planets and allotted numbers are:

  • Aries – Mars 9
  • Taurus – Venus 6
  • Gemini – Mercury 5
  • Cancer – Moon 2
  • Leo – Sun 1
  • Virgo – Mercury 5
  • Libra – Venus 6
  • Scorpio – Mars 8
  • Sagittarius – Jupiter 3
  • Capricorn – Saturn 15
  • Aquarius – Uranus 4
  • Pisces – Neptune 7

Astrology is one so-called pseudoscience that could have a bearing on your win to loss ratio at the casino.

Basing Your Online Roulette Numbers Picks on Numerology

Another is numerology, a belief that numbers have mystical significance. To find the numbers most meaningful to you requires a few simple calculations based on your full name and birth date. That way, you can reveal your destiny number and life path number, respectively.

How to Calculate Your Destiny Number

Your destiny number is one of two ‘angel’ numbers that are unique to you. It is a single-digit numerical representation of your full name. All you have to do is add up all the numbers assigned to the letters in your name and reduce the answer to a single digit.

Calculations are based on the numbers assigned to letters according to the traditional numerology chart:

1 – A, J, S

2 – B, K, T

3 – C, L, U

4 – D, M, V

5, E, N, W

6 – F, O, X

7 – G, P, U

8 – H, Q, Z

9 – I, R

Using the chart above, a guy called Arnold Pieter Van Aswegan would be assigned the following numbers: 195634 795259 415 1155715. When each block is added together, you get 28 37 10 25. Add the numbers together again, and reduce them to a single digit, and Arnold’s destiny number is 1 (1+1+1+7 = 1+0 = 1).

Determining Your Life Path Number

How about your life path number? How do you determine that? By using your birth date as the starting point and whittling the numbers down to a single digit again.

Take 28 May 1961 as an example. In this equation, the day, month and year are individually added together to form 1 (2+8=1+0=1), 5, 8(1+9+6+1=1+7=8). When that is added together, the answer is 14=1+5=5 and that is the person’s life path number.

Why Not Deploy a Free Online Random Number Generator Instead?

Haibo! If simple arithmetic is not your thing, we get you. That is why we have come up with a few quicker and easier ways of sourcing the numbers you need to play European Roulette at Springbok Casino. The first is purely algorithm based… like all our certified fair SpinLogic Gaming developed casino games.

In technical terms, this funky little tool is called a random number generator. There are loads of free web-based generators online. Most platforms allow you to customise your range. As European Roulette has 37 possible numbers from 0 to 36, that is the range it should be.

Here are three free online random number generators to help you find your lucky numbers:

Place the Combination Bets in European Roulette

If ruling planets, angel numbers and randomly generated numerals don’t cut it, there is an even easier way to get your roulette wagers away. That is to rely on the structured, multi-bet options to do the hard yards on your behalf. These bets are known as the French or combination bets… and for obvious reasons.

When you sign up at or login to Springbok Casino and load European Roulette on your laptop or phone, what do you see? A green game board with a conventional layout beneath a second, oval layout. It is the oval, race track layout you are after.

This is where the three French bets reside. They are called Voisins du Zero, Orphans and Tiers du Cylindre and they consist of a combination of straight, split, street and corner bets. The numbers you bet on are fixed according to the bet type, so there is no guesswork or last-minute selections required.

No Sweat! Fixed Numbers for Quick and Easy Roulette Bets

Here is a breakdown of the bet types, the numbers you are betting on and available odds:

  • Orphans – straight bet on number 1 at 35 to1, plus split bets on 6, 9, 14, 17, 20, 31, 34 at odds of 17 to 1.
  • Tiers du Cylindre – split bets on 1, 6, 9, 14, 17, 20, 31, 34 at 17 to 1.
