How to Win Playing Roulette at Grosvenor Casino Great Yarmouth

I'm sure you read this post title and thought...

One of these statements: 

What a lot of rubbish...

Tell me more...

Is it possible?

Where is Great Yarmouth? What's roulette?

For all I know, you may have had all of those thoughts in that order. Mumbo jumbo, hey. However, like all gamblers you can either head for online casinos such as crazyvegas online pokie or head to some random brick-and-mortar establishment which costs an arm and a keg to get there. We all know that you can't win playing roulette, hey? You can't beat fixed odds because the casino is guaranteed to win long term. 

I can't see how you can win playing roulette. It's the truth. However, it's a fact that I have been to the Grosvenor Casino at Great Yarmouth at least 10 times in the last few years and I am well in profit. So why is that? What is the reason? Have I just got lucky? I think, for the most part, I have been lucky. But there may be some reason why I have increased my chances. 

Compared with all other games you can play at any UK casino, roulette gives you the best odds of winning. I think the casino edge is 2.7% which compared with the likes of pair plus on three-card poker you are a winner without trying. I think pair plus takes about 6%, which is hard work. 

Anyway, let's get back to roulette. 

I figure the only way you can win at playing roulette is by using these three variables (if you can actually call them variable):


  • Luck
  • Playing for a couple of hours
  • Betting on a single number and corner
  • Betting level stake 
Yes, you need to be lucky to win. If you are unlucky you will play and not see a number come up once. 

My approach is simple. I look to see which number has come up a couple of times in the last hour or so and bet on that religiously. There is no logic to why the number should come up again but for whatever reason it often does. 

In addition to the single number, I will bet on a corner which includes the single number. This helps to give a few wins along the way (if you are lucky). 

Bet for a couple of hours. If you bet all day and all night the casino rake will gradually take its toll and you are sure to lose. But short term your odds are not that different from the casino. In fact, they often give free bets, drinks vouchers and incentives to get you through the door which can mean when betting £20 - £50 you are pretty much betting on a level playing field. 

Just keep betting on your single number and corner and hope you get lucky.

Saturday Evening at the Grosvenor Casino at Great Yarmouth

I don’t know about you, but these winter months feel like they drag on forever. With little sun or warmth, it seems like spring is taking its time to arrive. So, to bring some excitement to March, we’re planning a trip to the Grosvenor Casino in Great Yarmouth.

Yarmouth might seem a bit rough around the edges—maybe even a little neglected—but I have a soft spot for it. It’s filled with memories of family holidays and going to the races with my late father, Colin. Dad never got to visit the casino down Marine Parade, but he would’ve loved it.

To break up the winter monotony, we’re heading to Yarmouth on March 14th to see if lady luck smiles on the Fen Boys. I’ve had some luck with my “watch-the-paint-dry” roulette system, which, believe it or not, has brought in a few decent wins.

My cousin Danny came up with the idea, and it’s turning into a bit of a family affair. Joining us will be Tony, Gareth, Paul, Sue, Martin, and, of course, Dan the Man. Maybe a few more will join; we’ll see.

One of the best things about Yarmouth in winter is the hotel prices. Initially, I wanted to book at the Nelson Hotel but ended up at the Embassy on Camperdown. It’s a lovely street, probably Victorian, and we managed to get a family room with breakfast for just £50—about £16.70 each, which is a steal. David, the manager, is incredibly polite and welcoming, so we’re happy to be staying there again.

Dan the Man scored a single room with breakfast for just over £20—another unbeatable deal. I’ll be sure to tip the staff, no matter how the night turns out.

Just around the corner, there’s a gem of a restaurant called Pamela’s. It’s a mix of elegance and excellent value, with top-notch staff and delicious food.

And then, there’s the casino itself.

The Grosvenor Casino in Great Yarmouth is worth a visit, even if gambling isn’t your thing. Housed in a historic building, it has a charm that makes many modern casinos feel soulless. High ceilings, chandeliers, and a classic ambiance make it feel like a special place to enjoy a night out. The restaurant is affordable, but the atmosphere feels truly high-class.

I don’t go big on bets—it's more about the fun than anything else. My roulette strategy is simple: follow a single number that’s been lucky before and hope it hits again. There’s no logic to it, just luck, but it has worked out over the years with a few hundred pounds in winnings. I’ll probably stick to that for a couple of hours, unless the crowd makes it too much to enjoy.

Dan, Paul, Sue, and maybe Tony will be at the 3-card poker table. Personally, I’m not a fan; the rake on pair-plus bets is high, and even on a good night, the winnings aren’t great.

I’m also curious if Graham will be there this time. Last I heard, someone won a couple of grand in September from a small start, so there’s always a chance of a big win.

We’re looking forward to our session on March 14th, then returning to the casino for Sunday lunch before catching the train home. If you’ve never been to the Grosvenor Casino, it’s definitely worth a visit. And you don’t even have to place a bet to enjoy it!

5:15 Yarmouth Racing Tips (7th August)


YARMOUTH 5.15 (7.4)

An eight runner race with 2 that like to lead and Haveoneyerself is one of these leaders and my 3rd top-rated so could go well from the front, the topweight Perfect Charm has won its last 2 races and carries a 12lb penalty here before it gets a new official handicap rating it should go well while its in form but my money will be on BRONZE BEAU 9/1 who is my top-rated using this years times and has a 4lb higher rating from 2018 and it could prove very hard to catch if getting to the front and at the price and as long as all 8 runners take part I will be having a decent each-way wager.

2:05 Yarmouth Racing Tips (25th July)


YARMOUTH 2.05 

There are only 9 runners but its still hard to be fully confident with the final solution, the two 3-year-olds Budaiya Fort and Sweet Forgetme Not finished close together in one run at this c/d where the latter was favoured but got beat and with their weight for age allowance they could be competitive in this race although the former looked as though further would suit it better and the latter a drop in trip might help so what will happen I dont know but it will mean my stakes won't be at full power, theres only 1lb between Lilbourne Star and Princess Keira on my figures on this years times but I will be having a few quid on KRAKA 14/1 who recorded a fast time over this c/d in 2018 I have made a note that it's starting to look like a bit of a fluke time but it was here and it led all the way that day and its the only “known” frontrunner in todays race, I’m prepared to give it one final chance here to hopefully lead all the way and have an each way punt at the price available.
