Roulette Guide: Layout, Bets and Rule Checks

Roulette has a recognisable layout, but the game version and table rules should be checked before treating a general term as a complete explanation.

This page is general information only. It does not provide personal legal, financial or gambling advice, and it does not promise a gambling result.

Read the wheel and table version

European and American roulette are commonly used names for different wheel structures. The table information should make the actual version and options clear.

Do not assume a familiar layout tells you every rule.

Inside and outside bets are layout terms

These terms describe where a selection is placed on the layout. Payouts and conditions are governed by the specific table rules.

A term describing a bet placement is not a way to predict a result.

Past spins are not a forecast

A sequence of colours, numbers or near misses can feel meaningful, but earlier spins do not make a future result due. Set a budget and end time before play.

Stop if a session becomes about correcting a prior outcome.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between European and American roulette?

They are different wheel versions. Check the table rules for the exact structure.
