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