The Rules of Roulette
American, European and French Roulette

There are many different ways to place roulette bets in American Roulette. Each bet covers a different set of numbers and has a different distribution, as shown in the "Winnings Table" section. We offer double-zero roulette -- with 0 and 00 -- for more betting options.

Straight Up

You can bet on any number, including 0 or 00, by placing the chip on the center of a number. The maximum bet for this wager is indicated on the Roulette table (see the Max sign).

Split Bet

You can bet on two numbers by placing a chip on the line that divides the two numbers. The maximum bet for this wager is the Straight Up bet maximum, multiplied by two.

Street Bet

To bet on a row of three numbers (a street), place a chip on the boundary line of the roulette table, at the end of the corresponding row. The maximum bet for this wager is the Straight Up bet maximum, multiplied by three.

Corner Bet

You can bet on four numbers by placing chips at the corner where the four numbers meet. The maximum bet for this wager is the Straight Up bet maximum, multiplied by four.

Four Bet (European Roulette)

You can bet on the numbers 0, 1, 2, and 3 by placing your chip on the boundary line, where the line between 0 and the first row intersects it. The maximum bet for this wager is the Straight Up bet maximum, multiplied by four.

Five Bet

You can bet on the numbers 0, 00, 1, 2, and 3 by placing your chip on the boundary line, where the line between 0 and the first row intersects it. The maximum bet for this wager is the Straight Up bet maximum, multiplied by five.

Line Bet

You can bet on two street bets (i.e., the six different numbers in two rows of three numbers), by placing your chip on the boundary line of the roulette table where the line dividing the two rows intersects it. The maximum bet for this wager is the Straight Up bet maximum, multiplied by six.

Column Bet

There are three boxes labelled "2 to 1" at the bottom of each column of numbers. You can place bets for all numbers in a column by placing chip(s) in one of these boxes. If any of the numbers in the selected column is hit you get paid 2:1. 0 and 00 are losing numbers. The maximum bet for this wager is the Straight Up bet maximum, multiplied by ten.

Dozen Bet

You can bet on a group of twelve numbers by placing your chip in one of the three boxes marked "1st 12," "2nd 12," or "3rd 12." If one of your 12 numbers is hit, you are paid 2:1. 0 and 00 are losing numbers. The maximum bet for this wager is the Straight Up bet maximum, multiplied by ten.

Red/Black, Even/Odd, Low/High Bets

You can place a bet in one of the boxes along the long side of the table that covers half of the numbers on the roulette table (excluding 0). Each box covers 18 numbers. You win even money (1 to 1) on all of these bets; 0 and 00 are losing numbers. The maximum bet for this wager is the Straight Up bet maximum, multiplied by 20.

Minimum table bet

There is a minimum table bet, meaning that all your bets added together (your total bet), must equal at least the minimum value indicated on the table (see the Min sign).

Announces or Call Bets:

You can place Announces or Call Bets by selecting a chip and then clicking on the corresponding button:

Voisins de zero – this is a bet on all numbers of the "Voisins" arc: 22, 18, 29, 7, 28, 12, 35, 3, 26, 0, 32, 15, 19, 4, 21, 2, 25. These are all the numbers on almost a half of the Roulette wheel, including the zero. You need nine chips of your selected value. The chips are placed as follows: one split bet on each of the numbers 4/7, 12/15, 18/21, 19/22, 32/35, two chips on the triplet ("street bet") 0-2-3 and two chips on 25-29 ("corner bet"). Your winnings are as follows:

If winning number is one of these:	You will get paid thus:	Your true profit:
4, 7, 12, 15, 1, 19, 21, 22, 32, 35	17 units (17:1) + 1 chip	17 + 1 - 9 = 9 chips
0, 2, 3	22 units (11:1) + 2 chip	22 + 2 - 9 = 15 chips
25, 26, 28, 29	16 units (8:1) + 2 chips	16 + 2 - 9 = 9 chips

Tier – You place six chips to cover the numbers 27, 13, 36, 11, 30, 8, 23, 10, 5, 24, 16, 33. This is called the Tier arc on the Roulette board. One chip goes on each of the following splits: 5/8, 10/11, 13/16, 23/24, 27/30, 33/36. The true profit on this bet is: 17 + 1 - 6 = 12 chips. So the payout is 12:6 or 2:1.

Orphans – You bet on numbers 17, 34, 6, 1, 20, 14, 31, 9. This is called the Orphans arc on the Roulette board. You give five chips to the dealer, which are placed as follows: one straight on the number 1 and one split bet on every one of the numbers 6/9, 14/17, 17/ 20, 31/34. Note than number 17 participate in two splits (14/17 and 17/20), so:

If winning number is one of these:	You will get paid thus:	Your true profit:
1	35 chips (35:1) + 1 chip	35 + 1 - 5 = 31 chips
6, 9, 14, 20, 31, 34	17 chips (17:1) + 1 chips	17 + 1 - 5 = 13 chips
17	34 chips (17:1) + 2 chips	34 + 2 - 5 = 31 chips

Number & n eighbors – Bet on number and neighbouring numbers on the right and on the left of this number. This bet is played with five chips. For example, "8 and the neighbors" means that the player places a bet on five consecutive numbers 11-30-8-23-10 (8 is in the middle). The true payout is 35 + 1 - 5 = 31 chips.

Final bet – You bet on all of the numbers that have the same last number. For example, "final 5" means a bet on the numbers 5, 15, 25, 35. You need four chips, one straight bet on each number. If one of these numbers wins, you are paid regular Straight bet winning amount on that number. So your profit will be 35 + 1 - 5 chips = 31 chips.
