Getting to Know the Roulette Wheel and Table

Understanding the layout of roulette table is crucial for making informed bets.

Roulette consists of a spinning wheel with numbered pockets and a table where players place their bets.

Understanding the Roulette Wheel

The roulette wheel is divided into numbered sections, alternating red and black, with a green zero pocket (and an additional double zero in the American roulette).

The number sequence is strategically arranged to create a balanced distribution of odds.

The Roulette Table Layout

The roulette table features a grid displaying numbers and various betting options.

Players can place inside bets (bets on specific numbers) or outside bets (on groups of numbers, such as red/black or odd/even), each offering different payout probabilities.

Betting Basics: Odd, Even, and Beyond

Roulette offers a variety of betting options, ranging from simple to complex.

Understanding these options can help you develop a more strategic approach to the game.

Some bets are straightforward, like odd/even or red/black;

while others, such as straight bets or corner bets, offer higher payouts but come with increased risk.

Choosing the right bet depends on your playing style and risk tolerance.

Odd and Even Bets Explained

One of the simplest betting strategies is wagering on whether the winning number will be odd or even. If you bet on “odd”, and the ball lands on an odd number, you win. The game is as simple as that!

This type of bet offers close to a 50% probability of success, making it ideal for beginners. In addition, the payout for and Even/Odds bet is typically 1:1, which means you will normally win back twice what you staked.

Exploring Other Betting Options

Beyond odd and even bets, players can try red/black bets, column bets, or more advanced strategies such as split and corner bets. The table below shows a list of common advanced betting options, and what you could stand to win on a $1 stake.

Roulette Variants: European, American, and More

Roulette comes in several variations, each with unique rules and house edges and thus each offers players a different experience. For instance, the

European Roulette

This version of the game features a single zero pocket and a lower house edge of 2.7%. Most players prefer European Roulette as the odds are better when compared to American roulette.

One thing to keep in mind when playing European and America roulette is when the ball lands on zero, all outside bets (i.e., red/black, even/odd) are lost.

American Roulette

With an additional double zero pocket (00), American roulette increases the house edge to 5.26%. It is riskier than European roulette, but some players enjoy the added challenge.

French Roulette

French roulette has a single zero, just like European roulette.

However, in French Roulette, players have a second chance when the ball lands on zero, thanks to the special rules as below:

• Le Partage Rule: If an even-money bet loses to zero, half of the stake is returned to the player, while the other half goes to the house.
• En Prison Rule: A variant of the La Partage rule, if an even-money bet loses to zero, it stays on the table (“imprisoned”) for the next spin. If it wins on that spin, the original stake is returned.
•  

Since different casinos apply different rules, it’s highly recommended to check the house rules before placing even-money bets.

Apart from different roulette variations, there are several ways to play roulette that provide players with an alternate experience when playing roulette online. We’re talking here about Live Roulette and Video Roulette, or Video Game Roulette.

Live Roulette

Live roulette brings the excitement of a real casino to your screen, featuring a live dealer and provides real-time gameplay streamed directly to your device.

This interactive experience allows players to watch the wheel spin in real-time, place bets just like in a land-based casino and even to interact with the dealer and other players via real time online chat system.

At Yuugado, you can enjoy a variety of live roulette games, including European, American, and other exclusive options.

For Japanese players, we also offer Japanese-language live roulette tables, providing a more comfortable and immersive gaming experience.

Video Game Roulette

Video game roulette, also known as RNG (Random Number Generator) roulette, offers a  convenient way to enjoy games without a live dealer. Since the results are determined by advanced algorithms, each round is completely random and fair, which ensures an authentic gaming experience.

This format is perfect for beginners who want to learn how to play roulette at their own pace. Without time limits or pressure from other players, you can take your time exploring different betting options, strategies, and rules before moving on to live games.

Our video roulette selection at Yuugado includes popular variations such as European and American roulette, allowing players to practice and refine their skills in a stress-free environment. If you are new to the game or if you simply prefer a more relaxed experience, RNG roulette is a great way to enjoy the thrill of the spin anytime, anywhere.
