Roullete is a casino game that has brought glamour, mystery and excitement to casinos since the 17th century. The game is easy to learn and offers a surprising depth of strategy for serious players. Whether you want to bet on a single number, various groupings of numbers, the color red or black, whether it is odd or even, or one of several other value ranges – roulette has something for everyone.

To play, the dealer (or croupier) clears the table of losing bets and places a marker on the winning number or chips. Then, a ball is rolled into a rotating numbered wheel. As it spins, the ball lands in one of the colored slots marked with numbers. If your bet was correct, you’ve won!

Before you start playing, set a budget for your bets and choose a table that fits within it. Each roulette table carries a placard describing the minimum and maximum bets allowed.

When you’re ready to place your bets, talk to the croupier and purchase roulette chips for your selected denomination. Each player gets a different color of chip to differentiate them from the other players at the table.

Outside Bets

Also known as en prison or passe et manque in French, this bet involves placing your chip(s) on the outside border of a row of three consecutive numbers. This wager pays 5-1 if you win.
