What Is Roulette?

Roulette is a casino table game where a ball is dropped onto a spinning wheel with numbered pockets. Players bet on where the ball will land — a specific number, a color (red or black), odd or even, or a range of numbers. With its iconic wheel and wide variety of betting options, roulette is one of the most recognized games in any casino.

How to Play Roulette

1

Place Your Bets

Choose your chip size and place bets on the table layout. You can bet on individual numbers, groups of numbers, colors, or odd/even. Multiple bets per spin are allowed.

2

The Wheel Spins

The croupier spins the wheel in one direction and releases the ball in the opposite direction. You can continue placing bets until the dealer calls 'no more bets.'

3

Ball Lands in a Pocket

The ball slows and falls into one of the numbered pockets on the wheel. The winning number and color are announced and marked on the table.

4

Payouts Are Made

Winning bets are paid according to their odds. A straight-up number bet pays 35:1, while even-money bets (red/black, odd/even) pay 1:1. Losing bets are collected.

Roulette Odds & Payouts

Understanding roulette odds is essential to making informed bets. The house edge depends on the variant you play — European roulette (single zero) has a 2.7% house edge, while American roulette (double zero) has a 5.26% edge. French roulette with La Partage can reduce the effective edge to 1.35% on even-money bets.

Lightning Roulette

European wheel with random lightning multipliers up to 500x applied to straight-up numbers each round.

Roulette Strategy

No roulette strategy can overcome the house edge in the long run, but understanding common betting systems helps you manage your bankroll and play with discipline:

Martingale System

Double your bet after every loss on even-money bets. A win recovers all losses plus one unit of profit. Requires a large bankroll and has table-limit risk.

Fibonacci System

Increase bets following the Fibonacci sequence (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8...) after losses. Slower progression than Martingale with lower bankroll risk.

D'Alembert System

Increase your bet by one unit after a loss and decrease by one after a win. A conservative approach suited to even-money bets.

Play European or French

Always choose European or French roulette over American. The single-zero wheel cuts the house edge nearly in half.
