Introduction: Your Objective

The objective in roulette is to predict where the ball will land in the wheel. You can place a bet on a single number, on a pair of numbers, on three, four, or more numbers, on the colour of the numbers, or whether they will be odd or even. Check out this list of Roulette Bets for an overview of the bets you can make. The lower the odds the higher the payout.

Chips

In casinos, the players first buy in. They exchange their money for unmarked coloured chips and determine the denomination of their chips. Each player gets one colour so as not to mix them up. In online roulette this is not necessary, however, since you are playing at the table by yourself.

Flow of the Game

The croupier will announce that bets can be placed by saying “Place your bets”. Players place their bets until the croupier announces “No more bets” or “Rien ne va plus”. The croupier then spins the wheel. When the winning number is determined, the croupier marks this number with marker called the dolly, rakes in the losing bets and pays out the winners. The dolly is removed from the table when this is done and the game continues.

Roulette Online

In online roulette the flow of the game is even more simple. You place your bets, press the spin button to spin the wheel, and your payout is quickly calculated and payed out.
