All About Roulette

Roulette consists of a wheel with 37 numbers, these include the numbers 1-36, 0. After all the bets have been established the wheel is spun and a ball is placed on the outer edge of the wheel. The ball will then drop into one of the numbered pockets once the wheel slows down. The numbers on the wheel alternate pairs of odd numbers with pairs of even numbers and alternate between black and red. The Zero is green and placed between numbers 26 and 32(European Roulette Rules). The object of the game is to determine which number or color the ball with ultimately land on.

The table layout is arranged so that the 36 numbers are arranged in 3 columns of 12 numbers each. The numbers are in sequence, and can be either red or black, depending on the number. There are two types of roulette bets: inside bets and outside bets. The 6 inside bets: straight bet, split bet, street bet, corner bet, five number bet, and a line bet. There are three basic outside bets: even-money, column, and dozen bets. You can place as many different types of bets at any time. There are no limits to the number of wagers placed on each spin.

When playing the game of Roulette at online casinos, there is a usually a winning number display at the top right of your screen to help you find the previous winning numbers. The common perception is that if a number has not been shown as winning in a long time, it could be time to put a stake on that number.
