The rules of these games are identical to that of land-based versions of the game. The croupier will still impose a time limit of bets and once the physical roulette wheel is in motion and the ball is spinning, betting closes just like it does down your local Grosvenor. Roulette is a casino game named after the French word meaning little wheel.In the game, players may choose to place bets on either a single number, various groupings of numbers, the colors red or black, whether the number is odd or even, or if the numbers are high (19–36) or low (1–18).

OVERVIEW OF ROULETTE
Roulette is a casino classic with three main variations – European, French, and American. The game is played with a numbered spinning wheel and a small ball marker. Players place their respective bets on the table and the outcome of each spin determines which bets should be paid out by the croupier.
SETUP
The roulette table comes built-in with the spinning apparatus. Cash or casino chips are placed as bets within the gridlines drawn on the table. The wheel is spun, and a marker ball is dropped in to clearly mark the final outcome.
GAMEPLAY
Players place their bets on the respective areas of the table marking their bets. Once all bets have been made the croupier spins the wheel and drops a marker ball into the wheel pocket. The dealer then pays out all winning bets and collects losing bets.
BETS
These are the bets that you can make when playing roulette.
OUTSIDE BETS
Outside bets are also known as even-money bets. These bet on odds rather than a specific outcome. The outside bets you can make include Red/Black, Odd/Even, High/Low, Columns, and Dozen.
INSIDE BETS
Inside bets are bets placed on the numbered squares of the table. There are 8 bets here – Straight Up, Split, Street, Corner, Line, Five-Number Bet, Basket, and Snake Bet.

There are 5 options here – Voisins du Zero, Jeu Zero, Tiers du Cylindre, Orphelins, and Neighbors. The Neighbors bet can be paired with any of the other 4 available bet options.
FINAL BET

VARIATIONS
There are 3 main variations of roulette played at casinos and online casinos worldwide.
FRENCH ROULETTE
French roulette is played with a 37-pocket wheel, with a single, green '0' pocket. The gameplay includes two additional rules – 'en prison' and 'la partage'.
EN PRISON
This rule is open to strictly even-money bets. Should the wheel land on a zero, the player is presented with two move options :
- Forfeit the round and claim half their bet.
- Leave the bet 'en prison', or frozen until the next spin. The bet then becomes an all-or-nothing, requiring the outcome to match the imprisoned bet. Should the wheel stop at '0' again, the player loses his bet.
LA PARTAGE
La partage is also applicable to even-money bets. In this rule, any player with an outside bet is compensated with half their bet value, whenever the wheel stops at '0'.
ADDITIONAL REGIONAL RULES
- Netherlands – Consecutive '0' spins allow bets to apply the 'en prison' rule twice.
- France – There is an 'even-chances rule' that allows players to again bet for the same color, whenever the wheel lands on a green '0'.
EUROPEAN ROULETTE
European roulette is also played with a 37-pocket wheel. The rules and odds are the same as French roulette. However, the layout of the betting grid is different. As for the 'la partage' and 'en prison' rules, these are offered at the discretion of the house for this variation.
AMERICAN ROULETTE
American roulette is played with a 38-pocket wheel, with two green pockets, marked '0' and '00'. The layout of the American roulette table differs greatly from that of the French and European tables. Among the rules for this variation are :

Bets with larger odds include line bets (sixain) which is a bet placed on any line of 6 numbers and has 5 to 1 odds.
