Roulette offers a wide variety of bets.
Inside Bets
The inside bets are made up of specific numbers or combinations of numbers within the number layout.
Straight-up bet - this is the simple roulette bet. Choose any one of the 37 numbers and put your chips down on that number. The odds are 35 to 1.
Split bet - this is a bet on two different numbers beside each other on the table layout. Put your chips down on the line between them. The odds are 17 to 1.
Street bet - This bet allows you to play on three different numbers with the same bet. Place your chips on the outside of the row of numbers you want to bet on. The odds are 11 to 1.
Corner bet - You bet on four adjoining numbers placing your chips at the point where four numbers meet.
The odds are 8 to 1.
Line bet - A bet on 6 numbers placed at the end of the two rows on the line between them. The odds are 5 to 1.
Outside Bets
The outside bets are simply the bets that reside 'outside' of the main playing area of 37 numbers.
Red or Black - you can choose to bet on the outcome either being a red number, or a black number. Place your chips on the red or black diamond on the table. This bet pays even money.
Odd or Even - This bet is based on whether the number will be odd or even. Place your chips in the middle of the square marked 'EVEN' or the square marked 'ODD'. This bet pays even money.
Low or high - This bet lets you predict whether you think the next number to come up will belong to the 1 to 18 range, or to the 19 to 36 range. Put your chips in the boxes with the associated number range printed in them. This bet pays even money.
Note: If 0 is spun, all even money outside bets are halved and returned to the player.
Columns - Place this bet by putting your chips in one of the three '2 to 1' boxes. Each box is part of a column of numbers. If a number from the column you chose comes up you win. The odds are 2 to 1.
Dozens - Dozens lets you place a bet on either the first (numbers 1-12), the second (numbers 13-24), or the third dozen (numbers 25-36). Place your chips in the corresponding rectangular areas.
Note: If 0 is spun, Column and Dozen bets lose. |
