There are two
versions of roulette which are popular, the single "0" version, and
the double "00" version, one is known as the American roulette
wheel and the other is the European roulette wheel.

HOW TO BET
These are the bets you can place and their corresponding payouts:
- Straight bet
- A bet on a single number
pays 35:1
- Split bet
- A bet on 2 adjacent
numbers pays 17:1
- Street bet
- A bet on 3 numbers on a
horizontal line pays 11:1
- Corner bet
- A bet on a block of 4
numbers pays 8:1
- Line bet
- A bet on 6 numbers in 2
adjacent rows pays 5:1
- Column bet
- A bet on 1 of 3 vertical
columns pays 2:1
- Dozen bet
- A bet on 12 numbers, low
(1-12), middle (13-24) or high (25-36) pays 2:1
- Even bet
- A bet on even or
odd, red or black, low (1-18) or high (19-36) pays 1:1
You can place as many bets as you
like on a single spin of the wheel up to the table maximum.
Some casinos use a rule
called en prison. When a zero or double zero hits, the player loses half the bet,
or can let the bet remain in play, with the results to be determined on the next spin.
This rule only applies to even money bets.
Odds
With the 38-number
American wheel, the house has a big 5.26 percent edge. (Whenever 0 or 00 are hit, all bets
lose.)
With the 37-number
European wheel, the house advantage is 2.7 percent. In other words, on every $100 bet the
house makes $2.70. With the en prison rule, this edge drops to just 1.35 percent.
Obviously you want to
look for casinos that offer the European, single-zero wheel -- and many online casinos do.
If you can find one that also offers en prison, so much the better.
Payoff
In a winning hand, opening bets are always paid out at even money. Raise bets are paid out
based on the spread as follows:
|
Spread |
Payout |

1 |
5:1 |
