How to Play Roulette? Rules and Bet Types

Roulette is a table game in which you predict which number the ball spinning on the wheel will land on. The rules are simple, the game is fast, and it is the most played table in live casino lobbies.

European and American roulette

European roulette has 37 numbers, including 0. American roulette also has 00, making 38 numbers in total. The extra 00 pocket increases the house edge, so if you have a choice, prefer European or French roulette.

Inside bets

Straight (a single number), split (two neighboring numbers), street (a row of three), corner (a square of four) and line (six numbers) bets are inside bets. As the probability drops, the payout rises; a straight bet gives the highest payout and has the lowest chance of hitting.

Outside bets

Options that cover roughly half of the numbers, such as red or black, odd or even, 1 to 18 and 19 to 36, along with dozen and column bets, are outside bets. They are the easiest options to understand for beginners.

The flow of live roulette

The dealer opens betting, the ball spins, and after the "no more bets" announcement no new bets are accepted. The result is shown on the screen and at the table, and winnings are credited to your balance automatically.

Practical notes

Every table has a minimum and maximum limit, so check them before placing a bet. Previous results do not affect the next round; "hot number" lists are only statistics. Set your budget in advance and stick to it.

You can find roulette tables in the Lidrabet live casino section. Players under 18 may not play.
