About Playtech's Roulette

For beginners
How to Play Online Roulette
By understanding these basic rules, you can start playing Roulette and enjoy the excitement of predicting where the ball will land on the spinning wheel.

Bet Placement
- Players place their bets on a roulette table, which features numbers 0-36 (and sometimes a 00 in American Roulette) and various other betting options such as red/black, odd/even, and high/low numbers.
- Bets can be placed on individual numbers, groups of numbers, colors, or other combinations.
- The live dealer spins the roulette wheel in one direction and rolls a small ball in the opposite direction along the wheel’s outer edge.
- As the ball loses momentum, it eventually falls into one of the numbered pockets on the wheel.

Outcome and Payouts
- The dealer announces the winning number and color once the ball comes to rest in a pocket.
- Players who placed bets on the winning number or combination of numbers receive payouts based on the odds of their bets.

Roulette Types
- European Roulette: Features a single zero (0), offering better odds for players compared to American Roulette.
- American Roulette: Includes both a single zero (0) and a double zero (00), which increases the house edge.
- French Roulette: Similar to European Roulette but includes additional rules like "La Partage" and "En Prison," which can further improve player odds.
