Rules & Tips Roulette
The
game of Roulette is played by spinning a small ball on a round
wheel with thirty-eight numbered slots (Sometimes 37). When
the wheel stops, the ball comes to rest in one of these slots.
The object of 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.
To
place a bet in Roulette, start by placing your chips on the
table . Depending on where you choose to place your chips,
you can "cover" (bet on) anywhere from one to eighteen
numbers with a single bet.
You
can place nine different kinds of bets on the Roulette table.
Each type of bet covers a certain range of numbers, and each
type has its own payoff rate. The short lines of three numbers
each are called rows on the board, while the longer lines,
each holding twelve, are called columns. The first six types
of bets are all made on the numbered space or on the lines
between them and are called inside bets, while the last three
types are made on the special boxes below and to the right
of the board and are called outside bets. These bets are tabulated
below:
Bet
Type
Explanation
Straight
Up
Place
your chips directly on any single number (including
zero and double-zero).
Split
Bet
Place
your chips on the line between any two numbers.
Street
Bet
Place
your chips at the end of any row of numbers. A street
bet covers three numbers.
Corner
Bet
Place
your chips at the corner where four numbers meet. All
four numbers are covered.
Five
Bet
This
bet can be made in only one place and covers five number:
zero, double zero, one, two and three.
Line
Bet
Place
your chips at the end of two rows at the intersection
between them.
A line bet covers all the numbers in either row, for
a total of six.
Column
Bet
Placing
a chip in one of the boxes marked "2 to 1"
at the end of the columns covers all the numbers in
that column, a total of twelve. (Neither the zero nor
the double zero are covered by any of the columns).
Dozen
Bet
Placing
a chip in one of the three boxes marked "1st 12,"
"2nd 12," or "3rd 12" covers those
twelve numbers.
Red/Black,
Even/Odd, 1 to 18/19 to 36
A
chip placed in one of the six boxes at the bottom of
the board covers the half of the board described in
that box. (The zero and double zero are not covered
by any of these boxes.) Each box covers eighteen numbers.
Once
a spin is complete, the winning number will be noted on the
table with a marker. Winning bets will have a "W"
chip placed on top of them.
When
the ball lands on "zero" or "double zero",
wagers on red, black, odd, even, 1 to 18, and 19 to 36 are
not entirely lost. Instead, each player having made such a
bet will lose only half of the original amount bet. For example,
if a player places a bet of $10 on red and a double zero is
rolled, the player will lose $5 and be able to remove the
other $5 from the table.

Please
also note the zero and double-zero rule above. In European
Roulette, where there is no Double-Zero, there is no halving
of lost bets when the ball lands in zero.
As
there is no skill in Roulette, its up to you as the player
to go with your gut feeling. By keeping records of previous
numbers, you may well find that certain patterns arise. Be
sure to follow these as you will be livid if the run were
to continue. Make sure to play at a casino that offers European
Roulette, where the houses edge is halved. Kiwi
Casino is the best online casino for this as it also keeps
record of previous numbers, making it easier to spot patterns.
