A round of roulette in five steps

  1. Get chips. At the casino you swap cash for coloured chips at the table; here you start with 5,000 in play money.
  2. Place your bets. Put chips on a number, on a line between numbers or on an outside box such as red or odd. You can place as many bets as you like.
  3. The dealer spins. The wheel turns one way, the ball the other. The dealer calls “no more bets” a few seconds before the ball drops.
  4. The ball lands. The winning number is marked on the table, and every bet that does not cover it is cleared.
  5. You get paid. Winning bets are paid at their odds, 35 to 1 for a single number, 1 to 1 for red, and your stake stays yours.

Inside bets and outside bets

Inside bets go on the numbers themselves: a single number, two neighbours (split), a row of three (street), a block of four (corner) or two rows (six line). They win less often and pay more.

Outside bets go on the boxes around the numbers: the three columns, the three dozens, red or black, even or odd, 1-18 or 19-36. They win often and pay 2 to 1 or 1 to 1.

Good first bets

  • Red or black: you win 48.65% of spins on a single-zero wheel, the easiest bet to follow.
  • A dozen: 12 numbers, paid 2 to 1, wins about one spin in three.
  • A single number: paid 35 to 1, wins one spin in 37. Fun, but expect long waits.

What the zero does

The green zero is neither red nor black, even nor odd. When it comes up, every outside bet loses. That single pocket is the casino’s edge: 2.70% of every bet on a European wheel, 5.26% on an American wheel with its extra double zero.

How to play roulette: questions

Is roulette hard to learn?

No. You only choose where to put chips; the rest is the dealer’s job. Learning the payouts takes a few spins on the table above.

What is the minimum bet?

Each table sets its own minimum and maximum, shown on the table sign or in the game lobby. On this simulator the smallest chip is 1.

Can I bet on several things at once?

Yes. You can cover a number, a dozen and red in the same spin; each bet is paid on its own.
