General Rules
Roulette is a banking game; all bets are placed against
the house. You bet on the layout for a number, group of numbers or colour
that you expect to win. After all bets are placed for that turn, the dealer
tosses the ball along the wheel’s rim. After the ball comes to rest in
a winning number, the bank pays you or collects from you. Bets can then
be placed again for the next spin.
The chips’ values are set for the table. For example,
if you are playing a $5 table, each of your chips will be valued at $5.
You can place a bet before every spin of the wheel. The bet you make must
meet the minimum bet requirement for the table. You can place as many
chips on the table at a time as you like (up to the maximum limit).

American Roulette
The roulette wheel is divided into sections 38, each of which has walls
to hold a small ball where it lands after the wheel is spun. The sections
are numbered from 1 to 36, (half red and half black, half odd and half
even) plus a green section marked 0 and an additional green section marked
00.
Numbers 1 to 18 are considered the lows and numbers 19 to 36 are the
highs.

to hold a small ball where it lands after the wheel is spun. The sections
are numbered from 1 to 36, (half red and half black, half odd and half

La Partage
The La partage rule specifies what happens with the stakes when the zero
wins. All even-money bets, i.e. red/black, even/odd, 1-18/19-36 lose half
of their value, all other bets except for bets on zero itself lose.
Roulette Bets
The two types of bets allowed on the Roulette layout are combination
bets and straight bets.

Combination Bets
Combination bets refer to the bets you make by placing your chip on the
lines between the marked boxes to include more than one box in the bet.
These bets have different odds than the straight bets.
Inside Bets (or straight up)
Pay 35 to 1 – place any chip on any single number

Split Bets
Pay 17 to 1 – place a chip on the line between any two adjacent numbers.
If either number comes up, you win.
Street (Trio or Three Number)

Pay 11 to 1 – place a chip on the horizontal line across the top of the
layout on any number of the twelve columns of three numbers. You get all
the numbers in the street.
