Roulette wheel
Roulette is one of the more popular casino games, because it is both easy
to learn and offers a 💲 variety of ways to have action on the board. There is a lot that
goes into this game before the 💲 exciting spin of the wheel.
We have put together this
guide to help both new and experienced roulette players. We will 💲 cover the basics of
how to play the game and offer tips to help you get ready to play at 💲 WynnBET’s online
casino.
Roulette Basics
It is easy to spot the roulette table at a casino, and the
concept is the same 💲 online. There is a wheel that features slots for numbers 1 through
36, in which the numbers are either red 💲 or black. There are one or two slots for
zeroes, as well, which are green.
Players can place bets until the 💲 dealer closes the
betting session. Once all bets are placed, the dealer spins the wheel and throws in a
small, 💲 marble-sized ball into it that spins in the opposite direction. The ball will
fall into one of the marked slots, 💲 determining which bets receive a payout.
You will
receive a payout, if you have placed a bet that corresponds to the 💲 winning slot.

Types of Bets
Roulette bets
table view
Between betting on the 💲 outside and inside of the board, there are several
different types of bets while playing roulette. Each bet has its 💲 own probability of
hitting and different odds to reflect those percentages. Let’s break it down.
Outside
Bets
An outside bet features all 💲 the options on the outer edge of the betting board.
Half of the possible outcomes in a game of roulette 💲 are covered by outside bets.
Because you have a higher chance of winning such bets, your payout isn’t as big 💲 as
other wager options.
Examples of outside bets include:
Red or Black — This bet pays out
even odds (1:1) if the 💲 ball lands on the roulette color you choose.
Odd or Even —
Another bet that pays out at even odds (1:1) 💲 if you correctly call the ball landing on
an odd or even number.
Low or High — You are betting on 💲 whether the winning number will
fall within 1-18 (low) or 19-36 (high). Both are even money bets.
Column — This is 💲 a
bet on the outcome being a number within one of the three columns of 12 numbers than
span the 💲 longest side of the roulette table. The first column covers 1, 4, 7, 10, 13,
16, 19, 22, 25, 28, 💲 31, 34. The second column features 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, 17, 20, 23, 26,
29, 32, 35. The third 💲 column includes 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33, 36. You
receive a 2:1 payout (double 💲 your bet) by choosing the correct column.
Dozens — Another
bet that covers a dozen numbers, these three selections are actually 💲 in numerical
order. That means 1st 12 is numbers 1-12, 2nd 12 includes 13-24, and 3rd 12 covers
25-36. Each 💲 dozen pays 2:1, or double your bet.

Roulette Odds Breakdown for Inside bets
Inside bets refer 💲 to specific numbers and
sets of numbers on the inside of the roulette betting table. They have a lower chance
💲 of winning than outside bets, but they do have a larger payout.
Examples of inside bets
include:
Straight Up — This is 💲 bet on any number on the board. You win if the ball
lands on your number, but lose if the 💲 ball lands on any other number. Each straight bet
pays out 35:1.
Split — Instead of betting on one number, you 💲 are placing a bet on the
line that separates the two numbers. If the ball lands on either number, you 💲 win. This
pays out 17:1.
Corner — Similar to a split bet, though you get four numbers instead of
two. These 💲 numbers have to touch (to form a square), but it pays out 8:1 if the ball
lands on a number 💲 that falls within your quartet.
Street — You are betting on a row of
three numbers, such as 1,2,3 or 4,5,6 💲 on the inside of the board. The payout for the
ball landing within your trio is 11:1.
Double Street or Line 💲 — Similar to street bets,
but you are selecting two rows of three numbers instead of one. Examples include 1-6
💲 and 4-9, in which the payoff is 5:1.
Basket — When a player chooses to place a bet
covering the zero, 💲 double zero, and the top line of numbers, which are 1, 2 and 3. This
five-number bet has a 6:1 💲 payout.

Online Roulette vs. Live Roulette
You
can play this 💲 popular game in person or online using your WynnBET casino app. It
honestly just comes down to what you prefer 💲 as a casino player, because there are
advantages and disadvantages to both options.
Live Roulette
If you are looking for more
of 💲 a social setting, then this is the route to take. You can get dressed up and enjoy
the company of 💲 other roulette players at the table. There is also something to be said
about physically placing your bets, and having 💲 those chips in your hand at all
times.
The obvious downside is that tables can get pretty crowded, particularly if you
💲 go to a casino on a weekend. This can be overwhelming to new players, but crowded
tables can make it 💲 difficult to reach across the table to place bets.
Online
Roulette
It can be extremely convenient to play roulette online, as you 💲 can do so
without leaving the comfort of your home. You never have an issue of finding a spot at
💲 the table, and you don’t have to worry about reaching over anyone else to place your
bets.
You can play at 💲 your own pace without feeling rushed by other players or by the
dealer while playing online. You don’t have to 💲 deal with the smoky air that fills most
casino rooms, and can play from your couch instead.
Players can miss out 💲 on the social
aspect of playing at a casino, but online roulette has advantages in almost every other
aspect.

5 Roulette Tips To Consider Before Playing
Roulette wheel
1. Inside 💲 Bets are
More Volatile
For this reason, the payoff is greater. Statistically, you will win more
often by placing outside bets.
2. 💲 Don’t Bet Against Yourself
That means if you are
going to bet on 12 for an inside bet, it doesn’t make 💲 sense to bet on the ball landing
on an odd number. Switch the outside bet to an even number to 💲 increase your potential
payout.
3. Practice Bankroll Management at All Times
Pay attention to minimum bets and
understanding how much action you 💲 have on a given roll. You shouldn’t have your entire
bankroll on one spin, especially if you are hoping to 💲 play for a longer period.
Consider giving yourself a betting limit for a given day as well.
4. Pay Attention to
💲 Previous Rolls
This information is always available when playing roulette. You can see
what numbers are hot, such as outside options 💲 like odd/even or red/black. Don’t let
that be the only factor for placing bets, but having that information at your 💲 disposal
can’t hurt.
5. Have Fun!
There is no perfect method to playing roulette. You can try to
make as many decisions 💲 based on statistics or you can simply trust your gut. The
important thing is to make sure you have fun 💲 while playing this popular game.
