There are many different ways of placing bets in American Roulette. Each wager covers a selection of different numbers and has a different distribution, as it is shown in the section of the “Gains Scheme” (hereunder). The American Roulette with double zero – with 0 and 00 – has more bets possibilities than the European Roulette.
Each player must initially choose the amount he wants to gamble and then place his bet on the desired box(es). After having placed his bet(s), the player must then press the button “play” in order for the dealer to activate the roulette. Once the ball has stopped in a box, the dealer will announce the amount win by the player (if any).
Straight Up
The player can gamble on any number, including 0 and 00, by placing a chip on the number.
Split Bet
The player can gamble on two numbers by placing a chip on the line which separates the two numbers.
Street Bet
The player can gamble on three numbers by placing a chip on the interior left border line of the Roulette table which is beside a corresponding row of the three numbers.
Corner Bet
The player can gamble on four numbers by placing a chip on the corner where four numbers meet on one point.
Five Bet
The player can bet on the numbers 0, 00, 1, 2 and 3 by placing a chip on the interior left border line between 0 and the first line that cuts it.
Line Bet
The player can bet on two street bet (it means six different numbers of two rows of three numbers), by placing a chip on the interior left border line where the line dividing the two rows is cut.
Column Bet
There are three tagged boxes “2:1” at the bottom of a numbers column. The player can gamble on all these numbers by placing his chips in one of these boxes. If one of the numbers from the player’s column is the number where the Roulette ball has stopped the player is paid 2:1; 0 and 00 are losing numbers.
Dozen Bet
The player can gamble on a group of twelve numbers by placing his chips in one of the three boxes marked “1st 12”, “2nd 12”, or “3rd 12”. If one of the 12 numbers of the player is the number where the Roulette ball has stopped the player is paid 2:1; 0 and 00 are losing numbers.
Red/Black, Even/Odd, Top/Bottom Bet
The player can gamble on one of the left side boxes, on the long side of the table, that covers half of the numbers of the Roulette table (except for the zero). Each box covers 18 numbers. The player bets the same amount on all of his wagers (1 to 1); 0 and 00 are losing numbers.
