Playing roulette is as simple as deciding how much you
want to be and putting that bet on the table. With one
bet you can pick just one number or with a single chip cover
as much as 18 different numbers.
There are a total of eight different bets available on
a roulett table. Each type of bet has a different pay
off rate and covers different amounts of numbers.
The short lines of three numbers each are called rows
on the board, while the longer lines, each holding twelve,
are called columns. The first five types of bets are all made
on the numbered space or on the lines between them and are called
inside bets, while the last three types are made on
the special boxes below and to the left of the board
and are called outside bets.
After your bets have been places the wheel spins and
the ball will eventualy come to a stop in one of the
numbered slots. Then depending on your bets you will either win
or lose. Below are the various bet categories.
