How to Play American Roulette
The game is played according to
classic roulette rules, which are described in the separate article. We are going to remind you that you should guess the section with a number in which the ball stops and make one or several bets.
American roulette differs from the European version in the presence of an additional sector with the number 00, as well as different locations of numbers on the wheel.
Let's discuss features of the bets that are accepted at the American roulette table.
Inside bets They are made on sectors with single numbers on the layout:
- Straight is made on a single number.
- Split is made on two numbers (it is prohibited to stake on 0/2 and 00/2).
- Street is made on three numbers (it is prohibited to stake on 0/1/2, 0/00/2 and 00/2/3).
- Top Line is made on five consequent numbers: 0/00/1/2/3.
- Corner is made on four numbers
- Six Line is made on six numbers (0 and 00 are not available)
Outside bets They are made on sectors, which denote certain groups of numbers combined in any feature (color, etc).
- Dozen is a bet on twelve consequent numbers arranged in increasing order: 1-12, 13-22 and 25-36.
- Column is a bet on all 12 numbers, located forming a vertical line: 1-34, 2-35 and 3-36.
- Even/Odd is a bet on even or odd numbers.
- Red/Black is a bet on the color of the number.
- 1-18/19-36 is a bet on numbers from 1 to 18 or from19 to 36.
All outside bets are considered as losing when a ball lands in pockets marked 0 or 00. There is no half return in this case (this rule is valid in some other variants of roulette).
Racetrack bets These bets are also called announced because the dealer makes them at the oral request of the player. They are made on a series of numbers depending on their location on the wheel.
- Actually, only one kind of such bets called Number and Neighbors is available in this section. It is always divisible by five, because it can be staked on five numbers (one number and its two neighbors from each side).
Odds on all inside, outside and call (announced) bets are present in the special table. It is available in the interface of American roulette, so there is no need to discuss multipliers here.

The following values of gaming chips are available: 1, 2, 5, 25, 100 and 500 credits. The total bet per spin can not exceed five hundred credits.
