Roulette
- The Game
The game of Roulette is played by spinning a small ball around a wheel
that contains thirty-seven or thirty eight numbered alternating black and
red slots. When the wheel stops, the
ball comes to rest in one of these slots.
The object of either European or American Roulette is to correctly predict the slot in which the ball
will land. By predicting the right number, you earn a payoff on your bet.
The size of the payoff depends on how the bet was placed.

Playing
Roulette
The steps here are similar for all
online casinos. Clearly in a land based casino you follow the same rules
but must ensure you follow the etiquette of the table for placing and
removing bets. If in doubt watch before you play.
There are two basic steps to
follow to play a game of Roulette.
First you must decide on which numbers or groups of numbers to bet on. You
can do this by moving the mouse over the table felt and left clicking to
deposit chips on the table. Right clicking will remove chips. You can
place chips on individual numbers or on the borders shared by two or four
numbers.
Once you have decided upon your bet press the Spin button to start the
game. The roulette wheel will spin and the ball will be placed on the
wheel. It will soon come to rest in one of the numbered pockets on the
wheel.
If the number falls with in the range of any one of your bets then you
have won. Refer to the Table Limits and Odds section to find out more
about how much each kind of bet is worth.

Types of Bets
There are several types of bets that can be placed on the Roulette table:
The Straight Bet
This is a bet on any single number and odds of 35-1 are paid on a winning
number.
The Column Bet
This bet is placed on any of the three columns of twelve numbers running
along the table. The odds are 2-1 for a winning bet. If 0 comes up, the
column bets lose.
The Dozens Bet
This bet is placed on the outside boxes marked 1st, 2nd and 3rd 12. The
player will bet on numbers 1 to 12, numbers 13 to 24 and/or numbers 25 to
36. The odds are 2-1 for a winning bet. If 0 comes up the dozens bets
lose.
Black or Red Bet
A player can bet on either a black or red number coming up. The odds here
are even (1-1). If 0 comes up the black and red bets lose.
Odd or Even Bet
A player can bet on either an odd or even number coming up. The odds here
are even (1-1). Again, if 0 comes up the odd and even bets lose.
High or Low Number Bet
The player can bet on the high box (1 to 18) or the low box (19 to 36).
The odds are even (1-1) for the winning bet. If 0 comes up the high and
low bets lose.
The Two Number or Split Bet
A player may place a bet on any line that divides any two adjacent
numbers. The bet is that either of those two numbers will come up. The
odds are 17-1.
The Row or Street Bet
A player can bet on the three numbers in a row on the table by placing the
bet/chip(s) on the outside of that row. The bet is that one of the three
numbers will come up. The odds are 11-1.
The Corner or Square Bet
The bet is placed on the intersection of four numbers. The bet is that one
of these four numbers will come up. The odds are 8-1 for a winning number.
The Six Number Bet
This bet is placed on the outside of the line that splits two rows of
numbers. This will cover all six numbers. The bet is that one of the six
numbers will come up. The odds here are 5-1 for a winning number.
