The game of roulette starts at the roulette
table where you will find a spinning wheel and a betting area. The
wheel, depending on the roulette variation contains thirty seven or
thirty eight numbered slots.
The game is played by spinning a small ball on the roulette wheel,
the ball then comes to a stop in one of the slots. Your aim is to
predict where the ball will land. You have several different betting
options.

| Different Types of Roulette Tables |
Single Zero
Often called European roulette the wheel has thirty seven slots. thirty
six numbers and ONE zero. The house advantage is roughly halved with
the removal of just one number. This is the best variation to play.
Double Zero
This is the most common roulette variation found in the US. The wheel
contains 38 different numbers. The extra zero roughly doubles the
house advantage so we highly recommend that players only play on single
zero table when ever possible.

Playing roulette is as simple as deciding how much you want to
be and putting that bet on the table. With one bet you can pick
just one number or with a single chip cover as much as 18 different
numbers.
There are a total of eight different bets available on a roulette
table. Each type of bet has a different pay off rate and covers
different amounts of numbers.
The short lines of three numbers each are called rows on the board,
while the longer lines, each holding twelve, are called columns.
The first five types of bets are all made on the numbered space
or on the lines between them and are called inside bets, while the
last three types are made on the special boxes below and to the
left of the board and are called outside bets.
As there are so many bet options we have dedicated a special page
to your options and the pay off rates for each bet type. More About Roulette Bets
After your bets have been places the wheel spins and the ball will
eventually come to a stop in one of the numbered slots. Then depending
on your bets you will either win or lose.
