The Rules Of Online Roulette

The rules of roulette are pretty simple, and they get even simpler online. With online roulette you are able to have rule books and any information you need open and available to you as you play, instead of having to constantly ask casino employees about rules. Here’s a general overview of how the game is played just in case you haven’t memorized them all yet.

Roulette consists of a roulette wheel with numbers and colors displayed around it’s edges, the numbers go from 0-38(although some games only have 37 numbers) and the colors are always two different colors, traditionally they are red or black. The wheel is spun and a small ball is placed on the spinning wheel. This tosses the ball around randomly. The goal of the game is to guess where the ball will lay when the wheel has stopped spinning.

Bets are placed before the wheel stops and depending on whether or not you win your bet and what kind of bet it was you will win some odd sum of money. At some point in time casinos started putting two 0’s on their wheels instead of one. The 0 is the worst number for the ball to land it, a 0 means that all players lose their bets and the house rakes in the money. This is why it is so hard to win consistently at roulette. Stay away from tables with two 0’s if you want to increase your odds at winning.

There are two different kinds of bets, inside bets and outside bets.Inside bets are the riskier of the two, but they pay out much more money. On the other hand outside bets are much safer but pay much less money.

Inside bets are usually bets that the ball will land on a specific number or a small pool of numbers. Outside bets are usually bets that the ball will end up on a much wider amount of option, like the color red or the color black for example.
