Welcome to
American Roulette
American Roulette
is played by spinning a small ball on a round
wheel with thirty-eight numbered slots. The
wheel is numbered from 1 to 36 and also includes
a 0 and 00. When the wheel stops, the ball comes
to rest in one of these slots. The objective of
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.
How to Play
American Roulette
There are two
basic steps to follow to play a game of American
Roulette.
You can place
chips on individual numbers and the borders
shared by two or four numbers. You can also bet
on whether the number will be odd, even, black,
red, low and/or high, by placing outside bets.
Provided you have enough money and do not exceed
table limits, you can place any number of
different bets.
Once you have
placed your bet just hit the SPIN button to
start the game. The roulette wheel will spin and
the ball will be placed on the wheel. The ball
will eventually drop into one of the numbered
slots on the wheel. If the number falls within
the range of any one of your bets, you win.
How to Bet when
playing American Roulette
There are two main
types of bets in American Roulette:
The first is an
inside bet. An inside bet is when you
place a bet on any number on the table from
00-36.
The second is an
outside bet. An outside bet is when you place a
bet outside of the table layout, such as Red or
First 12.
There are several
different types of inside and outside bets that
you can make.
A Straight Up
bet is when you place a chip on any single
number which can include zero (0) and double
zero (00). The chip should lie exactly on one
number.
A Split Bet
is when you place a chip on two adjacent
numbers, on the line between two numbers.
A Street Bet
is a bet that covers three numbers. The position
of the chip is left outer line of the roulette
table near the corresponding row of three
numbers.
A Corner Bet
is a bet that covers four numbers. Each
of which is adjacent to the other two, in other
words they are located in a square. The position
of the chip is on the cross of the lines
dividing these four numbers.
A Five Bet
can be made in only one place and covers five
numbers: zero, double zero, one, two and three.
The chips are placed at the end of the row
between the numbers 00 and 3.
A Line Bet
is a bet that covers two Street bets. The line
bet covers six different numbers in two rows
each of which has three numbers. For example: 4,
5, 6 + 7, 8, 9. The position of the chip is on
the cross of the left outer line of the roulette
table, and the line, dividing two rows,
constituting "streets".
A Column Bet
is on the shortest side of the roulette
table were there are three fields, marked as "2
to 1". Covering one of these fields with a chip,
you can make a bet on all twelve fields, located
over the covered field. Neither the zero nor the
double zero is covered by any of the columns.
A Dozen Bet
is a bet on a group consisting of twelve
numbers. A chip is placed on one of the fields
marked as "1st 12", "2nd 12" or "3rd 12". Each
group contains numbers from 1 to 12, from 13 to
24, from 25 to 36.
A Red/Black,
Even/Odd, 1 to 18/19 to 36 Bet is a bet
placed on one of the six boxes on the left,
longer side of the table. A half of roulette
numbers (18 numbers) corresponds to each bet, as
all the numbers are divided into Red and Black,
Even and Odd, Low (1-18) and High (19-36). The
zero and double zero are not covered by any of
these boxes.
