Roulette · Rules
From the first chip to the result
Choose a chip and a bet before spinning. The result is fixed when the spin begins; the animation only reveals it. A winning bet returns both its original stake and its payout.
European roulette has 37 pockets, American roulette has 38. Zero is neither red nor black, odd nor even, low nor high. Double zero is also excluded from these outside bets.
In French roulette, La Partage returns half of an even-money stake when zero appears. It does not apply to dozens, columns or inside bets. Each new spin is independent of earlier results.
