The ball is in your court.

Do you love suspense? Us too. That’s why Roulette is one of our favorite table games. Place your bet, watch a little ball dance around a wheel, and get paid out if you win. That’s Roulette in a nutshell.

If you’ve never played before, Roulette might seem a bit intimidating, especially if you’ve ever watched it unfold live. All those people crowded around a table with chips stacked all over the place can seem intense. But it’s actually much easier to play than it looks. Let’s do a quick but thorough deep dive.

The Wheel: 38 pockets of possibilities

The Roulette wheel has 38 pockets, each marked with a number. You’ll find the numbers 1 through 36, a single zero (0), and a double zero (00). Each number is either red or black, except for the zeros, which are green.

The Ball: Watch it bounce, drop, and reward you

Roulette is the ultimate prediction game. Your goal? To guess the outcome of a spin on the Roulette wheel. To determine that outcome, the dealer (known as the ‘croupier’ in the Roulette world) spins the Roulette wheel and launches a small white ball in the opposite direction.

The Table: It’s decision time

When you play Roulette, you’re betting on which pocket the Roulette ball will land in. We know what you’re thinking. With 38 numbers in American Roulette, hitting your number every time seems like a shot in the dark. But here’s the great thing. You don’t have to bet on the exact number. You can also bet on groups of numbers.

The Roulette table is divided into inside bets and outside bets. Let’s take a look at each type of bet.

Inside bets

• Straight up -> Bet on the exact number you think will hit
• Split -> Bet on two numbers that are connected
• Street -> Bet on a row of three numbers
• Corner -> Bet on four connected numbers that form a square
• Six-Line -> Bet on two rows of connected numbers

Outside bets

• Red or Black -> Bet on the color you think will hit
• Odd or Even -> Bet on whether the winning number is even or odd
• 1-18 -> Bet on whether the winning number falls in the first half
• 19-36 -> Bet on whether the winning number falls in the second half
• Dozens -> Bet on the first dozen, second dozen, or third dozen
• Columns -> Bet on a column of numbers

Let’s play a quick game

Step 1: Place your bets

You can play the outside, the inside, or both. Just drop your virtual chips onto the felt.

Step 2: Hit the Spin button

The virtual croupier (or the real croupier if you’re playing Live Dealer Roulette) will release the ball into the Roulette wheel.

Step 3: Watch the ball spin round and round

As the wheel slows, the ball will drop into the wheel and start bouncing around.

Step 4: See where the ball lands

The ball will eventually land in a numbered pocket.

Step 5: Get paid out

If you bet on the right number, or if the winning number falls within the combination of numbers you bet on, you’ll get paid out. It’s that simple.
