Roulette rules

The rules of roulette– it is an easy game to learn even though after taking a look at the table, you may feel otherwise with all its colors and numbers, but easy or not still learn your rules!

Prior to the wheel being spun the player must ensure all their bets are placed out on the table, an area of the table marked with a pattern of boxes and numbers – known as the game layout. If the game is interrupted by any player the game may just be disqualified. So once you hear the words “no more bets” from the dealer’s mouth, make sure you are all in order.

The player is allowed to bet on a single number, a combo of numbers, red or black, odd or even. You may use chips of any value that the land casino stores to place your bets.

Rules of roulette

Please note with regards to even-money bets, depending on your whereabouts in the world that you are playing: In Nevada, land casinos all even-money wagers are completely lost if the ball lands on 0 or 00; however in Atlantic City and Europe land based casinos will lose only half their bet or the bet may be imprisoned for another spin.

Rules about the nine types of bets available in roulette:

  1. Straight-up: a bet on any single number including 0 and 00 – the odds are 35:1
  2. Column: a bet on one of 3 vertical columns (neither the 0 or 00 are covered by any of the columns – the odds are 2:1
  3. Dozen: a bet on twelve numbers, either high, middle or low – the odds are 2:1
  4. Even-money: a bet on eighteen numbers, even, odd, red, black, high or low – the odds are 1:1
  5. Spit: playing your chips on the line between any two number or adjacent numbers – the odds are 17:1
  6. Trio/Streetbet: a three number bet and pays off when any one of your 3 numbers hit – the odds are 11:1
  7. Corner: Place your chips at the corner where four numbers meet. All four numbers are covered – the odds are 8:1
  8. Five number: this bet can be made in only one place and covers five numbers – the odds are 6:1
  9. Six number/Linebet: pays off when any one of your six numbers hit – the odds are 5:1

Ensure you understand these minimum bets before seeking out to play. Remember if you are playing in a land-based casino, it is in the casinos game to distract you. Once the ball comes to rest, that is it and marks the winning.
