Roulette

A spinning wheel and a felt full of bets. Unlike the other games here, there's no correct decision to learn — every bet on the table has a fixed, unbeatable house edge. Roulette is about understanding why, not memorizing a strategy sheet.

European 2.70% edge, every bet American 5.26% edge, most bets 10 bet types straight up to red/black Payouts 35:1 down to 1:1

How a round plays out

Place one or more bets on the felt — a single number, a group of numbers, or a simple color or parity bet. The wheel spins, a ball drops, and it settles in one numbered pocket. Every bet that covers that pocket pays out at its fixed odds; everything else loses. There's no decision to make once the ball is in the air, and nothing you did beforehand changes the odds of any spin — each one is independent of the last.
