Online Roulette Master Guide: Rules, How to Bet, and Variations

StealthBet’s roulette category includes various digital and live dealer versions of the game. The platform provides a technical framework for these games, ensuring standardized rules and payout structures. This guide details the operational mechanics, betting types, and wheel variations available within the StealthBet interface. This page is for informational purposes only.

The Objective of Roulette

The primary objective in roulette is to predict which numbered pocket a small ball will occupy after the roulette wheel completes its rotation. The wheel contains numbered pockets ranging from 0 to 36. In certain variations, an additional 00 pocket is present. Participants place their bets on a corresponding table layout before the ball is released.

Fundamental Online Roulette Rules

In the online environment, the process is automated or managed by a professional dealer in a live setting. The sequence typically follows a structured progression:

1. **Selection Phase**: Players select their chip values and place them on specific areas of the table layout.
2. **Spin Initiation**: The wheel is rotated in one direction while a ball is released in the opposite direction.
3. **Bet Closure**: The betting window remains open for a specific duration, such as 30 seconds, before the dealer or the system signals that no further bets are accepted.
4. **Result Determination**: Once the ball loses momentum and rests in a pocket, the winning number and colour are identified.
5. **Settlement**: Successful bets are credited according to the established paytable, and the layout is cleared for the next round.

Understanding Inside and Outside Bets

Roulette bets are categorised into two primary groups based on their position on the table layout. Each category offers different mathematical probabilities and payout structures.

Inside Bets

Inside bets are placed on specific numbers or small groups of numbers within the inner grid of the table. These bets carry lower mathematical probabilities but higher payout ratios.

• **Straight Up**: A bet on a single number.
• **Split**: A bet placed on the line between two adjacent numbers.
• **Street**: A bet on a row of three numbers.
• **Corner**: A bet placed on the intersection of four numbers.
• **Six Line**: A bet covering two adjacent rows, totalling six numbers.

Outside Bets

Outside bets are placed on the sectors surrounding the number grid. These bets cover larger groups of numbers, providing a higher probability of a successful outcome with lower payout ratios.

• **Red or Black**: A bet on the colour of the winning pocket.
• **Odd or Even**: A bet on whether the number will be odd or even.
• **High or Low**: A bet on whether the number falls between 1-18 or 19-36.
• **Dozens**: A bet on one of the three sets of 12 numbers (1-12, 13-24, 25-36).
• **Columns**: A bet on one of the three vertical columns of numbers.

The Three Main Variations: American vs. European vs. French

StealthBet offers three primary versions of roulette, each defined by its wheel configuration and specific mathematical house edge.

• **European Roulette**: This version utilizes a wheel with 37 pockets, including a single zero (0).
• **American Roulette**: This version features 38 pockets, including both a single zero (0) and a double zero (00).
• **French Roulette**: Similar to the European version, it uses a single-zero wheel. However, it often includes additional rules such as “La Partage” or “En Prison.” These rules apply to even-money bets when the ball lands on zero.
