General Rules
Roulette is a banking game; all bets are placed against the house. You bet on
the
layout for a number, group of numbers or colour that you expect to win. After
all
bets are placed for that turn, the dealer tosses the ball along the wheel’s
rim. After
the ball comes to rest in a winning number, the bank pays you or collects from
you. Bets can then be placed again for the next spin.
The chips’ values are set for the table. For example, if you are playing a $5
table,
each of your chips will be valued at $5. You can place a bet before every spin
of
the wheel. The bet you make must meet the minimum bet requirement for the
table. You can place as many chips on the table at a time as you like (up
to the maximum limit).

American Roulette
The roulette wheel is divided into sections 38, each of
which has walls to hold a
small ball where it lands after the wheel is spun. The sections are numbered
from
1 to 36, (half red and half black, half odd and half even) plus a green section
marked 0 and an additional green section marked 00.
Numbers 1 to 18 are considered the lows and numbers 19 to 36 are the highs.

The roulette wheel is divided into sections 37, each of
which has walls to hold
a small ball where it lands after the wheel is spun. The sections are numbered
from 1 to 36, (half red and half black, half odd and half even) plus a green
section marked 0.
Numbers 1 to 18 are considered the lows and numbers 19 to 36 are the highs.

La Partage
The La partage rule specifies what happens with the stakes when the zero wins.
All
even-money bets, i.e. red/black, even/odd, 1-18/19-36 lose half of their value,
all
other bets except for bets on zero itself lose.
Roulette Bets
The two types of bets allowed on the Roulette layout are combination bets and
straight bets.

between the marked boxes to include more than one box in the bet. These bets
have different odds than the straight bets.
