Equipment needed:
- A roulette table specifically designed for English Roulette.
- A roulette wheel with numbers from 1 to 36, plus a single zero (0).
Basic rules:
- Betting:
- Players place bets by placing chips on the betting layout, which has different sections for betting on individual numbers, groups of numbers, colors (red or black), even or odd numbers, etc.
- Spinning the wheel:
- The dealer spins the roulette wheel in one direction and then releases a small ball in the opposite direction. The ball eventually lands in one of the numbered slots on the wheel.
- Determining the outcome:
- The number where the ball lands determines the outcome of that round. If the ball lands on a number that matches a player’s bet, that player wins according to the odds associated with that specific bet.
- Types of bets:
- Straight bet: Betting on a specific number. If the ball lands on that number, the payout is 35 to 1.
- Split bet: Betting on two adjacent numbers on the table. If the ball lands on either of those numbers, the payout is 17 to 1.
- Street bet: Betting on a row of three numbers. If the ball lands on one of those numbers, the payout is 11 to 1.
- Corner bet: Betting on four numbers that form a corner. If the ball lands on one of those numbers, the payout is 8 to 1.
- Line bet: Betting on two rows of numbers (six numbers in total). If the ball lands on one of those numbers, the payout is 5 to 1.
- Dozen bet: Betting on a group of 12 numbers (1-12, 13-24, 25-36). If the ball lands on one of those numbers, the payout is 2 to 1.
- Color bet: Betting on the color of the winning number (red or black). If the ball lands on a number of that color, the payout is 1 to 1.
- Even/Odd bet: Betting on whether the winning number will be even or odd. If the ball lands on an even or odd number according to your bet, the payout is 1 to 1.
- Zero (0):
- In English Roulette, like in most European roulettes, there is a single zero (0). If the ball lands on zero, typically bets on individual numbers lose unless specifically betting on zero.
- Continuation of the game:
- After paying out the winner of the round, new bets can be placed for the next round. The game continues in this manner as players place their bets and the dealer spins the wheel.
Additional tips:
- Understand the odds and different betting options before playing.
- Manage your chips effectively and adhere to the table etiquette.
