Roulette Guide: How To Play Roulette for Real Money

Why play Roulette for real money? It's a straightforward game to learn. Bets cover various situations, which allows you to take a minimal risk or go for a higher risk with much more significant rewards. If you're looking for a game that's both exciting and rewarding, you need to play Roulette at Slots.LV.

Slots.LV has a handful of Roulette games for your entertainment. In the Table Games area, there are classic and regular versions of American or European Roulette. You'll find additional American and European Roulette games in the Live Dealer Casino. Plus, there's a Lucky Wheel game that's an easy-to-learn version that uses colors instead of numbers.

American vs. European Roulette Rules

While the European and American Roulette versions are similar, there are a few differences. Start with the Roulette wheel. An American wheel has 38 pockets where the ball can land. There are numbers 1 to 36 and then the green pockets 0 and 00. A European Roulette Wheel has 36 numbered pockets, but it only has a single green "0" pocket. While both reels have 36 numbers, they're laid out differently.

Due to this different layout, the house edge differs. That's the advantage the dealer has when it comes to winning. The odds of winning in American Roulette are 1 in 38 because you have 38 pockets. This puts the house edge at 5.26%. With only 37 pockets on a European wheel, the odds lower to 1 in 37. The house edge is much lower at 2.7%. The lower the house edge, the higher your chances of winning. Start with European Roulette when you're learning how to play Roulette.

Betting Options in Roulette

In addition to the house edge, you have the win rates. This is when your betting strategy becomes essential to how often you stand to win. In Roulette, you have "Inside" and "Outside" bets. Inside bets are the bets that take place inside the wheel. Inside bets are riskier, so the payouts are higher. They include:

Straight Bets – A bet placed on a specific number/2.63% chance of winning
Split Bet – A bet on two specific numbers/5.26% chance of winning
Street – A bet on three adjacent numbers/7.89% chance of winning
Corner – Four numbers that form a square/10.53% chance of winning
Top Line – Five numbers including 0, 00, 1, 2, and 3/13.16% chance of winning (American Roulette only)
Line – Six numbers/15.79% chance of winning

Next are the Outside bets.

Red or Black – Bet on if the ball will land on a red or black pocket/47.37% chance of winning
Evens or Odds – Bet on if the ball will land on an even or odd number/47.37% chance of winning
Lows or Highs – Bet on if the ball will land on a low (1-18) number or high (19-36) number/47.37% chance of winning
Dozen – Bet that the ball will land in a pocket in the first 12 numbers, second 12 numbers, or third 12 numbers/31.58% chance of winning
Columns – Bet on a column of numbers/31.58% chance of winning

When you place a bet, you'll see the grid of numbers. Different games may differ slightly, but in general, the 2:1 space is the one to bet on for a column bet. The rest of the board should be self-explanatory with the red or black space; 1st, 2nd, or 3rd 12 boxes, 1-18 or 19-36 boxes, and the individual numbers. Place a corner bet by putting your casino chip in the center of four adjacent squares. The same is true for split bets.

Payouts are standard in most American and European Roulette games.

Red or Black – 1x
Odd or Even – 1x
1-18 or 19-36 – 1x
1st, 2nd, or 3rd 12 – 2x
Six Number Combination – 5x
00, 0, 1, 2, 3 (American) – 6x
0, 1, 2, 3 (European) or Four Number Combination – 8x
Three Number Combination – 11x
Two Number Combination – 17x
One Number – 35x

Drag chips to the board to place your bets. In games with the 2x, you can quickly double your bet if you think you're about to win.

The Games at Slots.LV Casino

There is American Roulette, European Roulette, Classic American Roulette, and Classic European Roulette in the table games area. Games are similar, but the wheel seems to spin and stop faster in the classic version.

Lucky Wheel is a Roulette-style game, but the wheel is covered in 10 colors instead of having up to 38 different numbers and red, black, and green pockets. This makes it easy to play. Drag your chip to the color you think will be under the pointer when the wheel stops. If you're right, you win cash. There's also a multiplier in the center. If you happen to win, whatever that multiplier is increases your payout. Payouts are:

1x Multiplier and Winning Number – 9x
2x Multiplier and Winning Number – 18x
3x Multiplier and Winning Number – 27x
4x Multiplier and Winning Number – 36x
