How to Play Roulette

Put chips on the numbers you think the ball will land in, and the dealer spins. A number on its own pays 35 to 1; red or black, odd or even pay even money. The green zeros are the house’s edge: the more zeros on the wheel, the more it costs.

Play money only: nothing to buy, no sign-up. The same rules and payouts as below.

The idea

Tap a chip on your rail, then tap the layout — or drag a chip onto it. Bet as much as you like, then tap Spin. Bets stay open while the ball runs, until the dealer waves no more bets. Where the ball lands, everything covering that number wins.

Inside bets

Bets on the numbers themselves. On a number is straight up (35 to 1). On the line between two is a split (17 to 1). On a row’s edge is a street of three (11 to 1); where four meet, a corner (8 to 1); where two rows meet, a six line (5 to 1). Fewer numbers, bigger pays. Inside bets can be small one at a time — together they must reach the table minimum.

Outside bets

The boxes around the edge. Red or black, odd or even, 1 to 18 or 19 to 36 pay even money. A dozen or a column covers twelve numbers and pays 2 to 1. The zeros lose them all. Each outside bet needs the table minimum on its own.

The wheels

Downtown spins a double zero wheel: a house edge of 5.26% on nearly every bet. $1 a number inside, $5 each outside bet, up to $1,000. Center Strip spins a triple zero wheel: a house edge of 7.69% on nearly every bet. $1 a number inside, $10 each outside bet, up to $2,000. The Salon spins a single zero wheel: a house edge of 2.70% on nearly every bet. $5 a number inside, $25 each outside bet, up to $5,000. Every pay is the same on all three — the extra zeros are what you pay for. Hover over a bet (on a computer) to see what it covers and pays.

The dolly

When the ball settles the dealer sets the dolly on the winning number. Losing bets are swept, winners are paid beside their bets, and the winnings come to you. A winning bet stays on the layout to ride, as at a real table — drag it back if you don’t want it.

Repeat, undo and clear

Repeat puts last spin’s bets back down in one tap (or press R). Undo takes back your last chip, and Clear takes them all.

Wheel chips and cash chips

When you sit down you choose. Wheel chips are your own color, worth the least you can bet on a number — a dollar downstairs, $5 in the Salon — so one chip is one bet, and nobody’s bets get mixed up — up to 500 at a time. Cash chips are the casino’s own, for bigger bets. Either way, leaving cashes your chips back in.

Change and coloring up

Need smaller chips? Drag a chip to the dealer’s tray and it comes back as change — your color, if you play wheel chips. Drag a stack there to color it up into bigger chips.

What every bet pays, and the house edge

The house edge is how much of each bet the casino keeps over the long run — the lower, the better for you.
