Table
Betting
There are 8 different types of
roulette bets.
Each bet covers a different set of numbers and has a different distribution,
as shown in the "Winnings Table" section.
Inside
Bets
Straight Up
A
chip can be wagered on any individual number, including zero (0).
The chip is placed directly on the individual number.
Split Bet
A chip can be wagered
on any two adjacent numbers, by placing the chip on the line dividing
the two numbers.
Note that a chip can also be placed on the line dividing 0 and 1,
0 and 2, 0 and 3.
Street Bet
Street bets cover three numbers.
Place the chip on the outer right boundary line of the roulette
table, next to the corresponding row of three numbers.
Note that street bets can also be placed on 0,1, and 2 or 0, 2 and
3.
Corner Bet
Corner
bets cover four numbers.
Place the chip on the cross where the four numbers intersect.
Note that street bets can also be placed on 0, 1, 2 and 3: place
the chip on the outer right boundary line of the roulette table,
between 0 and 1 or 0 and 3.
Line Bet
A line bet covers two street bets
(i.e. the six different numbers in two rows of three numbers, for
example: 7, 8, 9 + 10, 11, 12).
Place the chip on the closest boundary line of the roulette table,
where it is intersected by the line dividing the two rows.

the short side of the roulette table there are three empty squares.

numbers above it (excluding 0).

by placing your chip in one of the three boxes marked P12 (12 Premier,
or first dozen, the numbers from 1 to 12), M12 (12 Milieu, or second
dozen, the numbers from 13 to 24), and D12 (12 Derniere, or third
dozen, the numbers from 25 to 36).
Red/Black, Pair/Impair, Manque/Passe
Bets (Simple Chances)
A bet placed in one of the boxes on
the left, long side of the table covers half of the roulette table
