Bets Explained

American Roulette has been designed so as to give players as much flexibility as possible when betting. In addition to betting on individual numbers, you can also bet on groups of numbers. These may be groups of numbers that share characteristics, such as all the red numbers, or they may be groups that are formed by the layout of the betting area or the wheel.

The single chip American Roulette bets are split into inside and outside bets. The inside bets are:

• Straight Up – A bet on an individual number
• Street – A bet on a row of three numbers on the betting area
• Split – A bet on two adjacent numbers on the betting area
• Corner/Square – A bet on four numbers that form a square on the betting area
• Line – A bet on two streets covering six numbers

The outside bets are:

• Column Bet – A bet on a column of 12 numbers on the betting area

• Low/High Bet: A bet on whether the ball will land on a low or high number (1 – 18 or 19 – 36).
