Las Vegas Roulette Rules
Roulette comes from the French term for "small wheel".
Variations of wheeled games have been around for millennia. Legend
has it that Roman soldiers tipped their chariots over to play games
on the spinning wheel as a diversion between campaigns, and others
tell of monks bringing a wheeled game back from China in the middle
ages. By all accounts, roulette became widespread in Europe during
the 18th and 19th centuries, especially in France and Monte Carlo.
Today, the roulette wheel is perhaps the best internationally recognized
icon symbolizing the glamour, excitement and prestige of high-class
casino gaming.
American Roulette wheels are divided into 38 evenly spaced slots
numbered 0, 00 and 1 through 36. The zero slots are green and the
other numbers are either red or black. The evenly balanced wheel,
usually made of polished wood, turns on a spindle. The dealer spins
the wheel in one direction and releases a small ivory ball in the
opposite direction into the outer edge of the wheel, where it circles
many times before slowing down. As the ball loses momentum it falls
toward the centre of the wheel and drops into one of the slots.
It may bounce around from slot to slot but eventually it settles
into a single slot to end that round of the game.
The fascination of the game comes from the many ways to place a
bet and the excitement and anticipation of watching the ball fall
into a slot.
Game Play:
Players make bets against the House by placing chips in various
boxes or on the lines between the boxes on the layout table.
The "Spin" button will not become active until at least
one bet is placed on the layout. Players can place additional bets,
modify existing bets or move chips from one location to another.
The "Re-bet" button will place the same amount of chips
on the same bets as you had on the previous spin. Once all desired
bets are placed, players click the "Spin" button to spin
up the wheel and release the ball. After a few seconds, the ball
begins to fall toward the centre as the wheel slows down. When the
ball comes to rest in one of the slots all bets are settled.
The result of each spin is displayed in the tally board on the
left side of your screen, with most recent results appearing at
the bottom.
Losing bets will be cleared from the layout and winning bets will
be paid according to the following table:

Inside Bets are bets placed inside the grid of numbers on the layout
table. They include:
Single — placing a bet on individual numbers (like 00, 4,
23 or 35). Winning singles bets are paid at 35-to-1.
Split — placing a bet on the line between two numbers (like
2 & 3, or 13 & 16). If the ball lands on either number,
the odds paid are 17-to-1.
Row — placing a bet on the first vertical line in a horizontal
row of three numbers (like 7, 8, 9). If the ball lands in any one
of the numbers in a row, the odds paid are 11-to-1.
Triple – placing a bet the intersection of 0, 2, 00. If the
ball lands on any one of these three numbers, the odds paid are
11-to-1.
Corner — placing a bet on the corner of a group of four numbers
(such as 19, 20, 22, 23). If the ball lands on any one of the four
numbers, odds are paid at 8-to-1.
Top Line — the first 5 numbers at the top of the grid (0,
00, 1, 2, 3). If the ball lands in any one of these five spots,
odds are paid at 6-to-1. To make this bet, place your chips on the
left-hand side of the grid at the horizontal line separating the
0, 00 row from the 1, 2, 3 row.
Line — is a group of six numbers in two adjacent rows, all
touching the same grid line. For example, 28, 29, 30 and 31, 32,
33 make up a Line. If the ball lands on any one of the six numbers
in the Line, odds are paid at 5-to-1. To make a Line bet, place
your chips on the horizontal street line at the left-hand edge of
the grid.
Outside Bets are bets placed outside the grid of numbers on the
layout table. They include:
Columns — a vertical column of numbers in the grid (for example;
3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33, 36). You place your bet
outside the grid at the bottom of the column, in the boxes marked
with "2 to 1". If any one of the numbers in the column
comes up, odds are paid at 2-to-1. Columns do not include either
0 or 00.
Dozens — either the first, second or third dozen non-zero
numbers (1-12, 13-24 and 25-36, respectively). If the ball lands
in one of the twelve numbers in a dozen, the odds paid are 2-to-1.
Red/Black — bet on whether the winning number is red or black.
Winning bets are paid at 1-to-1.
Odd/Even — bet on whether the winning number is odd or even
(excluding 0, 00). Winning bets are paid at 1-to-1.
High/Low — bet on whether the winning number is in the low
half (1-18) or the high half (19-36). Winning bets are paid at 1-to-1.
For example, if you have a winning bet of $20 on a single number
(paid at 35-to-1) you will get back your original bet of $20 plus
35 times your bet of $20 ($700) for a total win of $720. As another
example, if you have a winning bet of $100 on colour Red (1-to-1
odds), you will get back your original bet of $100 plus another
$100 for a total win of $200.
Players cannot wager more than the maximum for any particular bet
in any one round of the game. Roulette has three sets of maximum
limits: one for inside bets, one for outside bets (see Bet Type
Table below) and one for the total of all bets on the table. Minimum
and maximum limits are posted at the top of the screen. Note that
you can wager the maximum on more than one bet per spin, up to the
table limit.
