Roulette is one of the more popular games at any casino simply because there are so many ways to win and the payouts for being very daring are very high. With advances in technology, it’s no longer even necessary to go to a casino and sit at the roulette table all night. Online casinos bring all the action right into your own home, so you can play roulette wheel in your living room.

The first thing anyone who wants to play roulette wheel needs to know is how the game is played. A small ball is spun around a large spinning wheel with 37 or 38 slots. The slots are numbered 1-36 and each numbered slot is either red or black in color. Depending on whether you are playing the American or European version there is also a 0 slot (European) or a 0 and 00 slot (American) both of which are colored green. The player has the option of betting in a number of different ways on the outcome of where the ball lands.

When you play roulette wheel, you can opt to bet on black/red, odd/even numbers, or high/low numbers, all of which will pay out at 1:1 odds. A corner bet allows a player to bet on the corner between 4 numbers and will pay out at 8:1 odds. Betting on a row of three numbers will pays out at 11:1 odds. Split bets allow a player to place a bet between two numbers and will pay out at 17:1. The most risky bet that a player can make is that of a single number, but the payout in that case is 35:1.

For the beginning player, if you are going to play roulette wheel, there are a number of simple strategies that can be played that are fairly well known. Always betting on red is probably the easiest way to play roulette wheel and results in a win roughly 48% of the time.
