Roulette Rules and Information

With only a spin of a wheel you could turn a small bet into a lot of money, Roulette is a simple as that. There are a number of different bets one can make, ranging form low risk to high risk, depending on how lucky you are feeling. The roulette wheel is divided into 38 slots, with the numbers 1 through 36 scattered on it and one space labeled 0 and another 00. The slots are also colored alternating in black or red (the o and 00 slots are colored green). Each player first makes a specific bet that is outlined on the roulette board (made up of 3 columns and 12 rows of the 36 numbers) and then wheel is spun. Once the wheel stops and the ball drops into a slot, winning players are paid out according to the type of bet they made. The types of bets are as follows:

Red or Black. Players predict that the ball will land in either a black or a red slot. Winners are paid out at 1:1.

Odd or Even. Players predict that the ball will end up on a number that is either even or odd. Winners are paid out at 1:1.

High or Low. Players predict that the ball will land on either a high number (19 – 36) or a low number (1 – 18). These bets pay out at 1:1.

Columns. The 36 numbers are divided into three columns, players bet on one column and if the ball lands on a number that is in the column bet on, the player wins. This bet pays out at 2:1.

Dozens. The player bets on one of three groups of numbers, the numbers 1 – 12, 13 – 24 and 25 – 36. If the ball lands on a number in the dozen chosen, the player wins 2:1.

Street. A player bets on a row of three numbers. These bets are places at the end of the row and payout at 11:1.

Line. The player bets on two streets (two rows). The bet is made placing your bet on the shared line of both streets at the end of the row. These bets pay out at 5:1.

Four Numbers. A player chooses to bet on the number 0, 1, 2 and 3. This bet pays out 9:1.

Corner. Betting that the ball will land on one of four grouped numbers. This bet is made by placing your bet on the intersecting point of all four numbers and pays out at 8:1.

Trio. A bet made that the ball will land on either the 0, 1 or 2 or the 0, 2 or 3. Place these bets on the intersecting point of the three numbers. This bet pays out at 11:1.

Split . A bet that the ball will land on one of two numbers. These bets are made by placing your bet on the line dividing the two numbers and pays out at 17:1.

Single. At 35:1 odds, this bet is the riskiest of all but pays out huge amounts of money. With this bet you are betting that the ball will land on one specific number. Place your bet in the box that represents the number you think will win.
