Roulette is a table game that involves spinning a ball around a wheel with numbers ranging from 0 to 36 (American roulettes have two zeroes). Players get a color of chips and can place bets on individual or group of numbers.

The bet types fall into two categories: Inside Bets and Outside Bets. Inside bets focus on a small number group and offer higher payouts but lower odds of winning.

Variations

In roulette, there are many variations of rules. Some of these have a different house edge, while others offer additional bets and special betting rules. Choosing the right game depends on the player’s experience and skills level. If you’re a newcomer, avoid roulette games with additional bets and special rules. Instead, choose the European format that offers a friendly house edge and basic payouts. More experienced players should consider the French version of the game, which contains more 0s and includes the rules En prison and La Partage. These rules will increase your winning potential, but they also come with a higher house edge.
