About the game
American Roulette is a fast-paced and thrilling casino classic where every spin of the wheel brings anticipation, strategy, and the chance for big wins. Players bet on where the ball will land among 38 numbered pockets, ranging from 1 to 36, along with a single 0 and a double 00. The game combines both luck and strategy, as the outcome depends on where the ball lands, while players can adjust their bets based on their preferences and risk tolerance.
How to play
The game begins as the dealer spins the ball in the opposite direction of the rotating wheel. As the ball slows down, it will eventually land in one of the numbered pockets, determining the winning number.
Players place their bets before the dealer announces “No more bets.” Once the ball lands, the dealer marks the winning number and pays out all winning wagers according to the odds.
Players can bet on individual numbers, groups of numbers, or colours (red or black), depending on their strategy.
How to bet
Players may place bets on either the inside or outside of the layout.
Roulette chips used for inside bets are only valid at the table where they are issued. When purchasing non-value chips, players may choose their denomination. GERC offers chip denominations of $1, $2, $5, $10, and $25. All minimum and maximum table limits are posted at each table.
a. Inside bets – are wagers placed directly on the numbered grid of the table, allowing players to bet on specific numbers. Players can place inside bets by selecting one or more numbers on the layout, such as:
- Straight Up – one number (pays 35 to 1)
- Split – two adjacent numbers (pays 17 to 1)
- Street – three numbers in a row (pays 11 to 1)
- Corner – four numbers (pays 8 to 1)
Six Line – six numbers (pays 5 to 1)
* Inside bets carry higher risk but offer higher payouts.
b. Outside bets – are wagers placed on larger groups of numbers outside the main grid. They offer a higher chance of winning but lower payouts. Players can choose options such as betting on:
- Red or Black (pays even money)
- Odd or Even (pays even money)
- High (19–36) or Low (1–18) (pays even money)
- Dozens (1–12, 13–24, 25–36) (pays 2 to 1)
Columns (12 numbers each) (pays 2 to 1)
* These bets are simpler and popular for beginners.
c. Neighbour Bets – GERC features Neighbour Bets for added excitement.
- A neighbour bet is a type of bet placed on a specific number and the numbers that lie next to it on the Roulette wheel. It includes the chosen number plus two numbers on each side, for a total of five numbers. Placing a Neighbour Bet is essentially like placing straight-up bets on each of those five numbers. If any of the selected numbers hit, the payout is 35 to 1.
