How to Play
You can place
nine different kinds of bets on the roulette table. Each
type of bet covers a certain range of numbers, and each type
has its own payoff rate. The short lines of three numbers
each are called rows on the board, while the longer lines,
each holding twelve numbers are called columns. The first
six 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 right of the board and are called outside bets.
Straight
Up: Place your chips directly on any single number
(including zero or double-zero).
Split Bet:
Place your bet on the line between any two
numbers.
Street Bet: Place your bet at
the end of any row of numbers. A street bet covers three
numbers.
Corner Bet: Place your chips
at the corner where four number areas meet. All four numbers
are covered.
Five Bet: This bet can be
made in only one place and covers five numbers: zero, double
zero, one, two and three.
Line Bet:
Place your chips at the end of two rows at the
intersection between them. A line bet covers all the numbers
in either row, for a total of six.
Column
Bet: Placing a chip in one of the boxes marked "2 to
1" at the end of the columns covers all the numbers in that
column, a total of twelve. (Neither the zero nor the double
zero are covered by any of the columns.)
Dozen
Bet: Placing a chip in one of the boxes marked "1st
12", "2nd 12", or "3rd 12" covers those twelve
numbers.
Red/Black, Even/Odd, High/Low:
A chip placed in one of the six boxes at the bottom of
the board covers the half of the board described in that
box. (The zero and double zero are not covered by any of
these boxes). Each box covers eighteen
numbers.
