Types of betting
A maximum of eight distinctive wagers are available in European Roulette. Five of those wagers are inside wagers and three of them are outside wagers. The amount of the earning will depend on the kind of wager placed. The following describes the Roulette wheel:
Rows: short lines containing 3 numbers each
Columns: long lines containing 12 numbers each
The table below describes the different types of wagers that are possible and how they are made.
Bet Type |
Explanation |
Straight Up |
Place your chips directly on any single number (including zero). |
Split Bet |
Place your chips on the line between any two numbers. 0-1, 0-2, 0-3 combinations not allowed. |
Street Bet |
Place your chips at the end of any row of numbers. A street bet covers three numbers. |
Corner Bet |
Place your chips at the corner where four numbers meet. All four numbers are covered. |
Line Bet |
Place your chips at the end of two rows at the intersection between them. A line bet covers all the numbers in either row, for a total of six. |
Column Bet |
Placing a chip in one of the boxes at the end of the columns covers all the numbers in that column, a total of twelve. (The zero is not covered by any of the columns). |
Dozen Bet |
Placing a chip in the box marked 12P covers numbers 1 to 12, 12M covers numbers 13 to 24, 12D covers numbers 25 to 36. |

A chip placed in one of these six boxes covers the half of the board described in that box. (The zero is not covered by any of these boxes.) Each box covers eighteen numbers. Low covers numbers 1 to 18. High covers numbers 19 to 36. |
Two additional types of wagers can also be made:
Racetrack bets: To make this type of wager, also called horseshoe bets, you will click on a certain are of the racetrack and wager a total of five chips. You will put the first chip on a desired number, then one chip on the two numbers adjacent to it, and finally one chip beside each side of the last two numbers.
For example: if you choose the 33 number spot, then you will place one chip on each of the following numbers: 20, 1, 33, 16, and 24. As you can see a total of five chips have been used
.The second bet can be viewed by clicking on the SPECIAL BETS button. From this area you will be shown a menu of other wager available.
It is important to mention that all SPECIAL BETS are completed by first selecting a wager type and then putting several chips on certain positions on the table. Only one chip can be placed on any one position and that rule will remain in effect unless it is specifically noted to the contrary.
Bet position table
After you have spun the wheel, the number that wins will be placed on the table and indicated with a marker. Those wagers that have won will be indicated by a "W".
