Roulette variants differ in wheel layout, number of zero pockets and rules. The game information panel is the authority for the version you are viewing.

Confirm the wheel and paytable. A table label does not reveal every rule.

Check the wheel first

European roulette commonly has a single zero; American roulette commonly has zero and double-zero. Other variants and special rules exist. The number and treatment of pockets affect the game's published rules.

Inside and outside bets

Inside bets cover specific numbers or small number groups. Outside bets cover broader groups such as red/black, odd/even or ranges. The paytable explains the payout for each selected bet.

How a result settles

After betting closes, the wheel result determines which selections win under the displayed rules. A previous result does not change the odds of the next independent spin.

Read the paytable

Confirm the wheel type, any en prison or la partage rule, bet limits and the payout table. Do not assume that a table's short name describes every condition.

For card game rules see blackjack; for game statistics see slot RTP and volatility.

Frequently asked questions

Is European roulette the same as American roulette?

No. Common versions differ in zero pockets and rules. Check the actual wheel.

Does the last result change the next spin?

No. A previous spin does not make a future independent result due.
