Even though there are multiple roulette variants, each one is the same at its core. A roulette setup consists of 🧾 four main components, which are the roulette wheel, the betting table, a small ball, and a croupier. The wheel is 🧾 divided into either 37 or 38 sectors depending on which version you play. These sectors are numbered 1 through 36 🧾 and then there is either a single zero slot or a single and double zero slot.
When you play roulette, the 🧾 betting surface is divided into two regions. The inner area is for placing inside bets which include straight-up bets, corner 🧾 bets, street bets, and more. The outer area of the betting surface is for outside bets like Odd/Even, High/Low, and 🧾 Red/Black.
What’s the difference between inside bets and outside bets? Well, outside bets are even-money propositions, while inside bets offer higher 🧾 odds. The odds and probabilities vary from bet type to bet type. If you place aR$1 outside bet on red, 🧾 and it comes up red, then you make aR$1 profit. If you successfully wager on a straight-up inside bet, then 🧾 you earn a payout of 35:1. You can refer to the table below to find out about the different types 🧾 of bets and the odds they offer.
A roulette game kicks off with the players placing their wagers on the betting 🧾 surface. The croupier then closes the betting, spins the wheel, and then spins the ball on the wheel in the 🧾 opposite direction. The wheel eventually comes to a halt, with the ball settling in one of the numbered and colored 🧾 slots. That number and color determine the outcome. The croupier collects all of the lost bets and pays out the 🧾 winning ones.
So, to summarize, a round of roulette goes as follows.
