AMERICAN ROULETTE BASICS

Roulette is a game of chance and consists of a Roulette wheel and table. This game of Roulette is based on the American style of Roulette. The Roulette wheel has numbered pockets ranging from 00 to 36.

The outcome of a game of Roulette is determined by where the ball stops on the Roulette wheel. Once the bets are placed on the table, a small ball is released on to the spinning Roulette wheel, in the opposite direction to the spin. The ball stops in one of the numbered pockets of the Roulette wheel.

The objective is to predict the number the ball will land on. You place a bet on your prediction.

AMERICAN ROULETTE BET TYPES

There are two types of bets in American Roulette. They are:

  • Inside Bets
    This is when you place a bet on any number on the table from 00-36.

  • Outside Bets
    This is when you place a bet outside of the table layout, such as Red or First 12.
