Roullete (Roulette) is a gambling game in which players bet on which number or grouping of numbers the ball will land on when coming to rest on a revolving wheel. Originating in Europe, this globalized version has long since gained in popularity; though initially appearing simple at first glance it provides surprising depth for experienced betters who seek high rewards from this form of betting. For optimal gameplay choose a strategy beforehand as well as learn odds for every bet type available before beginning play.

Roulette is played on a large table featuring a spinning wheel at its center. This wheel is surrounded by a circular track and contains compartments numbered one through 36; on American-style wheels there may also be one green zero pocket and two green pockets for red or black chips.

Prior to spinning the wheel, players place bets on what number they think will win by placing chips on a betting mat and placing their chips specifically where indicated on it. Bets made on six or fewer numbers are known as Inside Bets while those placed on more than 12 numbers are known as Outside Bets.

When the dealer announces “no more bets!”, all bets cannot be placed until after the ball has come to rest and has stopped moving around its circular track – this prevents cheating or any additional benefits being gained by placing bets before this process has concluded.

Once the ball stops rolling, a dealer announces and pays any winning numbers. Losing bets are then cleared from the table and chips distributed based on value. Furthermore, dealers will announce minimum and maximum betting limits so players don’t exceed their bankroll.

Roulette is one of the most thrilling casino games you can enjoy online, offering both American and European versions for you to choose from – I recommend opting for American if possible. American roulette’s house edge is significantly higher than that of European roulette, meaning you will lose more if an even-money bet wins on zero pocket. American Roulette doesn’t support “La partage”, which allows you to keep half of your losing bets when the ball lands in a zero pocket, thus lowering the house edge on even-money bets to just 1.35% and making this an excellent option for beginners and casual gamers. In comparison, French roulette does feature this rule which further reduces its house edge on even-money bets making this an excellent option for novice players just starting online gaming.
