Roulette is played on a wheel of numbered pockets — 0 to 36 in European Roulette — with numbers alternating red and black, and zero in green.
Players bet on the betting layout, which mirrors the wheel's numbers and colors. Bets can cover individual numbers, groups of numbers, odd/even, or red/black. See "What is the difference between inside bets and outside bets?" for the full breakdown.
European Roulette is the most common variant, with 36 red and black numbers plus one green zero.
Playing a round:
- Place your bets by putting chips in the appropriate areas.
- The dealer spins the wheel and releases the ball.
- The ball's landing position determines the winning number and color, and payouts are distributed accordingly.
