Roulette Rules

Roulette is one of the oldest and most popular casino games in the world. It is also one of the simplest to play. The game of Roulette consists of a wheel with either 37 or 38 stops, and a ball that can land with equal chance in any of those stops. Players make wagers by placing chips in the betting areas of the Roulette table. After all bets are placed, the ball is spun and eventually lands on a number. Wagers placed on the winning number or on groups that include the winning number are paid a multiple of the bet. The house collects all other wagers. Online roulette is analogous to roulette found in Vegas casinos. The virtual roulette wheel is spun via a random number generator.

Most are self explanatory, for example combinations are usually placed by putting the chips on the corners of the corresponding numbers, or to the sides where the table.
