In this blog, we focus on a particularly exciting variation of the classic game of chance: Double Ball Roulette.
We’ll walk you through the payout rates and game flow as they apply to Double Ball Roulette at Casino777.nl. In previous blogs, we’ve already covered various aspects of Roulette — from its fascinating history to the differences between French and American Roulette. For those who enjoy numbers, we’ve also explored the house edge in detail. And if you’re new to the game, you’ll find plenty of information about betting options like neighbours and series.
That’s why we recommend beginners check out the Casino777.nl website and our blog archives for a solid introduction. Now, let’s dive into:
Double Ball Roulette
The key difference with all other forms of Roulette? A second ball!
That means every bet gives you two chances to win.
How the Game Works
At the end of the betting period, the dealer places two balls in a holder at the edge of the roulette wheel. They then press a black start button, which launches both balls through a tube into the wheel. At first, the balls move through the upper part of the wheel, similar to how a dealer spins a single ball by hand. Both balls spin in the same direction. As they slow down, they may hit the wheel’s obstacles — and even each other — before coming to rest in numbered pockets. The final positions of the balls determine the winning outcomes.
Betting Options – Double Ball Roulette
The betting options are essentially the same as those in traditional Roulette. Here’s a quick overview:
Inside Bets
- Straight Up (Plein)
- Split (Cheval)
- Street (Transversale Plein)
- Corner (Carré)
- Six Line (Transversale Simple)
Dozens/Columns
- Dozens: 1–12, 13–24, 25–36
- Columns: 1–34, 2–35, 3–36
Even-Money Bets
- Red/Black
- High/Low
- Even/Odd
In Double Ball Roulette, you can also play series, finals, and neighbour bets. If either of the two balls lands in your selected pocket, you win your bet.
- Golden Bets: These are higher-risk bets where both balls must win for a payout. Naturally, the payouts are much higher.
Payouts
One Ball Wins:
- Straight Up: 17 to 1
- Split: 8 to 1
- Street: 5 to 1
- Corner: 3.5 to 1
- Six Line: 2 to 1
Both Balls Win:
These bets are marked in gold on the betting layout.
- Dozen/Column
If both balls land in your selected dozen or column, the payout is 8:1. - Red/Black (and Red/Black combined):
- At the bottom of the betting area, you’ll see a red and a black box marked 3:1. If both balls land on red or both on black and you’ve placed a bet accordingly, you’ll win 3:1.
- Between these, there’s a half-red/half-black box marked 1:1. Bet here, and if one ball lands on red and the other on black, you win 1:1.
- Golden Number Field: To the left of the main betting area, you’ll find a golden oval marked with numbers from 0 to 36. To win this bet, both balls must land on the same number. You can also place a bet that any one of the 37 numbers will be hit by both balls. This option is available below the zero on the betting field.
Favourite & Special Bets
To the right of the betting area, you’ll find an extra oval field for bets on numbers that are next to each other on the roulette wheel. You can also define your own favourite bets here.
Neighbours
Just right of the oval, you’ll see controls to adjust the number of “neighbours” — the numbers directly adjacent to your chosen number on the wheel. Click the + to increase the number, or − to decrease it. The total number of bets placed will update automatically.
To place neighbour bets:
- Select a chip value below the betting area.
- Click your desired number in the oval field.
The number of chips required depends on the number of neighbours:
- 1 neighbour: 3 chips
- 2 neighbours: 5 chips
- 3 neighbours: 7 chips
Series
Just like in a land-based casino, you can bet on:
- Zero Game (Jeu Zéro) – 4 chips
- Big Series (Voisins du Zéro) – 9 chips
- Small Series (Tiers du Cylindre) – 6 chips
- Orphelins – 5 chips
More details on these series and their respective payouts can be found in the Casino777.nl blogs and in the Help section of our live casino.

Conclusion
With the addition of a second ball and the extra chance to land a winning number, Double Ball Roulette offers even more excitement. The potential to win a 1300:1 payout by landing a double hit on the golden number makes this game especially appealing to high-risk players.
The game pace is smooth — there’s enough time to place your bets, but it never drags.
