There are two varieties of roulette, European Roulette (also known as French) and US Roulette. We've included the rules for European Roulette below.

If you'd like to know why we haven't listed the rules for US Roulette, please visit our Roulette Strategy.

Aim Of The Game
The game of European Roulette is played by spinning a small ball on a round wheel with thirty-seven numbered slots. When the wheel stops, the ball comes to rest in one of these slots. The object of European 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
To place a bet in European Roulette, place your chips on the table as described above. Depending on where you choose to place your chips, you can cover (bet on) anywhere from one to eighteen numbers with a single bet.

The dealer will indicate that there is to be no more beting, by telling you and waving his / her hand over the table.

You can place eight different kinds of bets on the European 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 five 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:

Once a spin is complete, the winning number will be noted on the table with a marker. Winning bets will have a W chip or small token / marker placed on top of them.

Zero Rule
Wagers on red, black, even, odd, low, and high shall be lost if the roulette ball comes to rest in the compartment marked zero (0)
