Game objective:
American roulette is played with a wheel containing 38 numbered slots, 0 through 36 and a 00 slot, a little metal ball, and a table on which the player can place a bet(s) on single numbers, groups of numbers, odd/ even numbers, or on the color (red or black) of the slot. The roulette ball spins around the wheel until it lands in one of the numbered slots, which is the winning number.
The player wins by correctly guessing which number or color will win, and is paid according to a payment table. European roulette is played exactly like American roulette, however the European roulette wheel does not contain the 00 slot, and there are only 37 numbered slots in total. Players can place multiple separate bets on a roulette table and each bet is treated and paid separately.
How to play:
- Select a chip amount for your bets, and then click on the betting spots of your choice on the table.
- You can place as many bets as you want, without exceeding the table limit.
- Your available account balance is shown on the screen.
- The total wager amount for any particular spin is usually displayed in a total wager box.
- Once you have finished placing your bets you need to spin the wheel by clicking the “SPIN” button.
- When the ball stops a marker is placed on the winning number, and all of the losing bets are removed.
- In most online casinos a close-up shot of the spinning wheel and the ball are displayed on the screen.
- The win amount is based on the payment table below
After the game finishes, the chip amount for a new game remains the same, but you can also choose to clear the bet and wager a different amount. To repeat the same bet, click on “Re-bet” and then on the spin button.
