And so, you've decided to play online and try your luck at one of the best casino games. You have registered your account and logged in and now the only step left is to know how to play the game. The basics of any rules for roulette begin with the equipment.
Rules for Roulette: Equipment
The roulette wheel has 37 (European) or 38 (American) pockets (slots) with numbers from 1 to 36 and 0 (European) or 0 and 00 (American). The game is played by spinning the wheel counter clockwise and the ball spins clockwise. When the ball stops in one of the pockets, the number which corresponds to that slot is the winning one. In case the ball stops at a 0 slot, the bets are returned to the players, while the 00 slot makes all the bets to be collected by the casino. That is the reason why most of the players choose the European wheel instead of the American one.
Rules for Roulette: Betting
The basic rules for betting in the game of roulette are common for almost all the casinos. Any player can make as many bets as he wishes, and start with straight bets (betting on one number which makes the highest payout 35:1), split bets (two numbers adjacent to each other, the payouts are 17:1), street bet (3 numbers in one row, 11:1), corner bet (block of 4 numbers - 8:1). There are also line bets (6 numbers), column bets (one of the three columns of the table), dozen bets (one of the three dozens 1-12, 13-24, 25-36), high-low bets (low 1-18, 19-36), and odd/even and red/black bets.
