How To Play Roulette: Quick Guide
It is important to know the rules of roulette table

The roulette table is an essential part of the roulette game. The most important part, except the legs of the table, is the layout, where the bets are, actually, made. Your main aim in the game of roulette is to guess the number, which will come up and, therefore, to make correspondent bets. It can be the color, even or odd numbers, or the exact numbers.

We know American and European roulettes. But what is the difference between them? At first, we think there is a slight distinction. European roulette has 37 pockets: numbers 1-36 and 0; the American sister has 0 and 00, which makes 38 pockets. The house edge in the European variant is 2.7 percent, while only one additional pocket of 00 doubles it and makes 5.26 percent. This much increases the roulette odds of winning the bet.

We all remember that the main idea of the game is to guess the number or the sector, where the ball will land. You might have heard before about the inside and outside bets.

Types of Bets

Inside Bets are those bets, which you place inside the layout.

Straight Bet - you bet on an exact number.

Split Bet - you bet on two neighboring numbers by putting the chips on the bordering line between them.

Street Bet - you bet on 3 numbers at the same time. All lines of three numbers each are called the streets. So, you put your bet at the end of the street facing it.

Square Bet - you bet on 4 numbers at a time. You simply put the chips on the crossing of two lines, which separate four numbers.

Five-number Bet - you bet on 5 numbers at the same time. It covers 0, 00, 1, 2 and 3. It is possible only in the American roulette, as only it has 00. You need to put the chips on the crossing of the lines between 3 and 00.

Line bet - you bet on 6 numbers. For this, you need to place your chips where two "streets" meet on a crossing line.

Outside bets are those bets, which you put outside the layout.

Color Bet - you bet on black or red color.

Even/Odd Bet - you bet on odd or even numbers.

High/Low Bet - you bet on high (19-36) or low (1-18) numbers.
