This guide covers the basics of roulette at UK-licensed operators.

Basic Rules

Roulette involves betting on where a ball will land on a spinning wheel. The wheel has numbered pockets (0 and 1–36 in European roulette; 0 and 00 in American). Bets are placed on numbers, colours or groups of numbers.

Bet Types

Inside bets (on specific numbers) offer higher payouts but lower odds. Outside bets (red/black, odd/even, dozens) offer lower payouts but higher odds of winning.

European vs American

European roulette has one zero and a lower house edge. American roulette has two zeros. Choose European when available for better odds.
