Roulette rules
Roulette has a large range of betting options making it a very interesting game with a lot of adrenaline being pumped through the vaines of the player. Played at a table with a wheel and a ball, this game basically allows players to bet on the number or colour of the slot where the ball will ultimately land. The minimum and maximum bets vary a bit, so you’ll have to make sure to check this at each site where you are playing.
The payoffs depend on the kind of bet you make, which roulette wheel you are playing and which casino. Again, lots of choices exist. It’s possible, for example, to bet on odd or even numbers, red or black (or the green “zero” slot), groupings of numbers, as well as columns and rows. You’ll find below a short description of the different sorts of bets you can place and their payoffs. For additional information on the finer aspects of the game and other choices, check out our Strategy and Probabilities pages.
