Roulette is a game of chance where players bet on where a ball will land on a spinning wheel. The wheel has numbered pockets (0-36 in European, plus 00 in American).
| Bet Type | Numbers | Payout |
|---|---|---|
| Straight Up | 1 | 35:1 |
| Split | 2 | 17:1 |
| Street | 3 | 11:1 |
| Corner | 4 | 8:1 |
| Six Line | 6 | 5:1 |
When ball lands on 0, even-money bets are "imprisoned" for next spin. Win = return bet, lose = lose bet.
When ball lands on 0, lose only half of even-money bets. Reduces house edge to 1.35%.
Special betting combinations like Voisins du Zero, Tiers du Cylindre, and Orphelins.
No strategy can overcome house edge. Martingale, Fibonacci, etc. are for bankroll management only.
Video poker combines elements of slots and traditional poker. You're dealt 5 cards, choose which to keep, then draw replacements to make the best poker hand.
