Roulette is one of the oldest and
most popular casino games in the world. It is also one of the simplest to play.
The game of Roulette consists of a wheel with either 37 or 38 stops, and a ball
that can land with equal chance in any of those stops. Players make wagers by
placing chips in the betting areas of the Roulette table. After all bets are
placed, the ball is spun and eventually lands on a number. Wagers placed on the
winning number or on groups that include the winning number are paid a multiple
of the bet. The house collects all other wagers. Online roulette is analogous to
roulette found in Vegas casinos. The virtual roulette wheel is spun via a random
number generator.
Game Play
To place a bet you put chips on the
corresponding area of the Roulette table. You usually choose the chip
denomination and then left click on the area of the table you wish to place your
bet. On online casinos you have as much time as you like to place bets and
usually have to click a "spin" button to proceed. There are 16 types of bets;
I've provided a table summarizing the possible bets and their payout. Most are
self explanatory, for example combinations are usually placed by putting the
chips on the corners of the corresponding numbers, or to the sides where the
table.
