I suggest you take a look at how the game works and play with fake chips before you start with real money however.

Overview:

One of the most iconic Casino games, Roulette offers players the chance to win by betting on numbers from 0 to 37. When the Roulette wheel starts spinning the ball falls into one of the number slots and the called number wins, maybe it is your lucky number! In Roulette you can chose to place a bet on a single number, range of numbers or combination of numbers. The odds change as you change your bets. There are bets on odd/even and the colors of the numbers which are black or red, with the exception of the 0/00 numbers which do not hold any color. I personally prefer placing bets on colors as it is easy for me to follow the game and the patterns this way (consecutive black numbers for example). For information on my preferred strategy Martingale click here.

The Roulette wheel has numbers ranging from 1 to 36, when playing European Roulette the 37th there would be 0 and there would be an extra 38th number 00 in American roulette. Since there is one more number on which the ball can land on the Roulette wheel, it’s better to avoid American Roulette. There’s no gain in it, even if you are really patriotic and you love the USA, you will lose more when playing American roulette. I am not going to cover American Roulette for that reason. 

Here is the payout structure for European Roulette:

Bet name	Winning spaces		Payout
Bet on Zerp - 0	0		35 to 1
Straight up	Any single number 0 to 36		35 to 1
Split	any two adjoining numbers vertical or horizontal (for example bet on 1 and 2 at the same time)		17 to 1
Basket	0, 1, 2 or 00, 2, 3 or 0, 00, 2		11 to 1
Street	any three numbers horizontal (1, 2, 3 or 4, 5, 6, etc.)		11 to 1
Corner	any four adjoining numbers in a block (1, 2, 4, 5 or 17, 18, 20, 21, etc.)		8 to 1
Top line	0, 00, 1, 2, 3		6 to 1
Six line	any six numbers from two horizontal rows (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33 etc.)		5 to 1
1st column	1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 22, 25, 28, 31, 34		2 to 1
2nd column	2, 5, 8, 11, 14, 17, 20, 23, 26, 29, 32, 35		2 to 1
3rd column	3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33, 36		2 to 1
1st dozen	1 through 12		2 to 1
2nd dozen	13 through 24		2 to 1
3rd dozen	25 through 36		2 to 1
Odd	1, 3, 5, ..., 35		1 to 1
Even	2, 4, 6, ..., 36		1 to 1
Red	1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 12,		1 to 1
	14, 16, 18, 19, 21, 23,
	25, 27, 30, 32, 34, 36
Black	2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 11,		1 to 1
	13, 15, 17, 20, 22, 24,
	26, 28, 29, 31, 33, 35
1 to 18	1, 2, 3, ..., 18		1 to 1
19 to 36	19, 20, 21, ..., 36		1 to 1

The casino edge or how you lose in the long run is the fact that the chance of hitting a number is 1 in 37, since the Roulette ball can land on 37 numbers, your max payout on a number is 35 times your bet however. Roulette is therefore a game where if your number comes up and you win, you’re as lucky as you can get. Do not be afraid of quitting early when you are ahead!

Roulette Strategy and how to win:

There are quite a few theories on how to win on Roulette - my personal advice would be - play with a bonus, play with an exit strategy (win half of the amount you deposited and sit out), play smart, know when when you’re ahead and quit while you’re there. I’ve covered the Martingale roulette strategy in the video on my youtube channel over here and on betdouble.com.
