Roulette Rules
The Roulette table will usually have a minimum and maximum bet which apply separately to a player’s inside and outside bets. Players place their bets on the layout and the dealer will spin the wheel in one direction and the ball in the other direction to begin the play. Bets may continue to be placed whilst the ball spins until the dealer announces “No more bets”.
A winning number and colour will be determined when the ball falls into a pocket on the Roulette Wheel, at which point the dealer will place a marker, also known as the dolly, on the winning number on the Roulette Table layout. When the dolly is on the table no bets may be placed, collected or removed from the table. The dealer will sweep away all losing bets and then make payouts to the inside and outside winning bets. The dealer will remove the dolly, leaving the winning chips on the layout, allowing the players to collect their winnings and new bets to be placed.
The Roulette Wheel
There are 38 pockets the ball can fall into for American Roulette and 37 for European Roulette. These slots are numbered 1 – 36 in either black or red colors and two green coloured pockets with 0 and 00. For European Roulette there is only one green pocket for 0. The numbers are arranged by alternating pairs of odd and even numbers, not according to their value. In ranges 1-10 and 19-28 the odd numbers are red and the even numbers are black. In ranges 11-18 and 29-36 this is reversed.
Roulette Table Layout
The betting area is covered with a cloth called the “layout”, which is either single zero (European Roulette) or double zero (American Roulette).
