Roulette

The Roulette wheel consists of numbers 1-36, alternately coloured red and black, plus 0 and 00 which are green. The dealer spins the Roulette wheel and spins the ball in the opposite direction. To win, you must predict where the ball will come to rest on the Roulette wheel.

Wagers can be placed on individual numbers or groups of numbers. To bet, place your chips on the numbered table layout. Inside bets are made with non-value chips, which you must purchase from the dealer before placing your bet. Outside bets are made with value chips or non-value chips. Bets can be made until the dealer announces “no more bets.” Once the ball comes to rest, the dealer marks the winning number on the layout and pays all winning bets.

Outside bets: bets on big groups of numbers on the “outside” of the table. Outside bets generally have lower odds than inside bets.

• High or low: pays 1 to 1
• Red or Black: pays 1 to 1
• Odd or Even: pays 1 to 1
• Dozen Bet: pays 2 to 1
• Column bet on 12 numbers: pays 2 to 1

Inside bets: bets on specific numbers or small groups of numbers on the “inside” of the table. Inside bets generally have higher odds than outside bets.

• Give line bet on five numbers (0, 00, 1, 2, 3): pays 6 to 1
• Six line bet on six numbers: pays 5 to 1
• Corner bet on four numbers: pays 8 to 1
• Street bet on three numbers: pays 11 to 1
• Split bet on two numbers: pays 17 to 1
• Straight up bet on one number: pays 35 to 1

In roulette, the odds and house edge are determined by the Green 0 and 00 squares. In the table above, it shows the payouts for each type of bet. If the green squares did not exist, all of the payouts above would represent the exact odds of winning your bet (Ex 1: half of all squares are red, and winning on red doubles your money. Ex 2: there are 36 total numbers on the board, betting on any single one number and winning would leave you with 36X your money).

Because the 0 and 00 exist, the odds now favor the house. Red is no longer half of all squares, it’s now 18 out of 38 squares, so when you bet on red (or almost ANY bet on the layout), the house advantage is 2/38, or 5.26%
