Understand outside and inside bets

Outside bets cover broader groups of outcomes; inside bets select individual numbers or small combinations. Each has its own payout and probability.

European and American wheels

European roulette has one zero pocket; American roulette adds a double-zero pocket. That changes the number of possible outcomes and the house edge on standard bets.

Confirm the wheel shown in the game rules before using a strategy or comparing payouts.

Inside and outside bets

Inside bets select individual numbers or small groups; outside bets cover broader groups such as colour or parity. A broader selection can win more often but pays less when it lands.

Neither bet type changes the random outcome of the next spin.

Settle a bet by reading the layout

The roulette layout shows which pockets or groups a selection covers and the payout for a winning result.

Confirm whether a special rule changes zero treatment, and check whether a chip remains active for more than one spin.

A saved or repeated bet should be reviewed before each spin so the same total is not unintentionally reused.
