Roulette Rules
Roulette is one of the
oldest and most popular casino games in the world.
It is also one of the simplest to play. The game
of Roulette consists of a wheel with either 37 or
38 stops, and a ball that can land with equal
chance in any of those stops. Players make wagers
by placing chips in the betting areas of the
Roulette table. After all bets are placed, the
ball is spun and eventually lands on a number.
Wagers placed on the winning number or on groups
that include the winning number are paid a
multiple of the bet. The house collects all other
wagers. Online roulette is analogous to roulette
found in Vegas casinos. The virtual roulette wheel
is spun via a random number generator.
Game Play
To place a bet you put
chips on the corresponding area of the Roulette
table. You usually choose the chip denomination
and then left click on the area of the table you
wish to place your bet. On online casinos you have
as much time as you like to place bets and usually
have to click a "spin" button to proceed. There
are 16 types of bets; I've provided a table
summarizing the possible bets and their payout.
Most are self explanatory, for example
combinations are usually placed by putting the
chips on the corners of the corresponding numbers,
or to the sides where the table.
