The Real Roulette

Take the guesswork out of the wheel by exploring the betting options and their payouts. Whether you prefer inside or outside bets, we provide the important insights you need for a good and balanced experience.

How to Play

The Goal

Correctly bet on where the ball will land on the roulette wheel.

Join the game by purchasing chips from the dealer.
Place your bets on a single number, a group of numbers, or a color (Red/Black).
Understand the odds. Roulette is a game of pure chance. Each spin is independent, meaning past outcomes have no influence on where the ball will land next. There are no patterns to follow—every number has the same chance of winning on every spin.
The dealer will spin the wheel and call “no more bets.”
Winning: You win if the ball lands on a number or section that matches your bet.
The House Edge: All “outside” bets (like Red/Black or Even/Odd) lose if the ball lands on the green ‘0’ or ‘00’.
