In the game of Roulette, every player uses different colored
chips in order to identify which player made what wager. The
game begins after the players have made their bets by placing
their chips on the numbered layout. The dealer then spins
the wheel in one direction and a small ball in the opposite
direction. When the ball falls into one of the wheels numbered
sections, the winning number is determined.
There are many different types of wagers that can be placed
on a roulette table. The image below provides a guide for
how and where to place a wager. The white lettered chips correspond
with the descriptions of the different bets listed below.
A. Any Red or Black Bet - In this case,
the player puts his or her chips either on the black or the
red field on the outside. This covers all the black or red
numbers on the field. The odds are 1:1.
B. Any Even or Odd Bet – Here, a player
is betting whether the next number that comes up is either
an even or odd number. Similar to the bet above, each of those
two fields covers 18 numbers. 0 or 00 is not considered either
even or odd, so if they come up, the player loses. The odds
are 1:1.
C. Any Low or High Number Bet - This bet
divides the field of numbers into two groups. The first group
of numbers is from 1 to 18 and the second is from 19 to 36.
A player bets on whether the next number that comes up is
between 1 and 18 or 19 and 36. If 0 or 00 shows up, the player
loses. The odds are 1:1.
D. Column Bets - There are three columns
on a roulette table, normally referred to as the 1st, 2nd
& 3rd columns. Each column covers 12 numbers. If any of
the numbers included in the column show, the player wins.
The odds are 2:1.
E. Dozen Bet - This divides the 36 numbers
into three dozen. Each dozen covers 12 numbers (1 to 12, 13
to 24 and 25 to 36). As shown in the above image, this bet
is covering the first dozen, meaning that if any number from
1 to 12 comes up the player wins. The odds are 2:1.
F. Straight Bet – A players can place
chips on any of the 38 numbers on the table and if that
number comes up the player wins. The odds are 35:1.
