Roulette: the so called sport of Devils. Legend tells of François Blanc's attempt at learning the secrets of Roulette from the Devil himself. This story might have come about due to the fact that all the numbers on the table add up to 666, which is known as the number of the beast. But forget all that nonsense, Roulette is one of the simplest games in a casino, and one that requires a lot of luck.

In Roulette, the idea is place chips on either a number, several numbers, red or black or odd or even. The croupier will then spin a wheel and then spin a ball in the opposite direction. Eventually the ball will land on one of the 37 numbers (0-36 - 0-37 if in America). If your chips are placed on this number, type of number or colour, you win. There's a little more to it than that, which will be explained below.

This diagram represents the correct placement of chips and terminology for the desired bet.

For each chip placement there are different odds involved. This will determine how much you win if the ball lands on your number. Here's a list of different placement terminology and the odds that go with them (refer to diagram above):

Inside Bets:

Straight Up Bet
This is the standard one number bet. Placing a bet on a single number gives you odds of 35/1.

Split Bet
A split bet is on two adjacent numbers. Spreading the bet to two numbers gives you odds of 17/1.

Street Bet
A street bet cover 3 numbers in a horizontal line. The winning odds on a street bet is 11/1.

Corner Bet
A corner bet covers 4 numbers in a block (placed in the centre). The odds of a win on a corner bet is 8/1.

Line Bet
A line bet covers six numbers, on two adjacent rows. If any of the six numbers is the one this pays at odds of 5/1.

Outside Bets:

Column Bet
A column bet covers one of the 3 vertical lines, covering 12 numbers. The odds for a win on this are 2/1.

Dozen Bet
Placing a chip on the sections '1st 12 (1-12)', '2nd 12 (13-24)' or '3rd 12 (25-36)', covers any of those 12 numbers. The odds on this are 2/1.

High / Low Bet
Placing a bet on the High or Low section, covers exactly that. The low numbers (1-18) or the high numbers (19-36). As there are 19 numbers in each, the chances of winning increases. Therefore the odds are only 1/1 (evens).

Even / Odd Bet
This works the same way as high and low, only this time your betting on even and odd numbers. Again, there are 19 numbers for each, so the odds are also 1/1.

Colour Bet
Exactly like the previous two, but this time your betting on colour: red or black. The odds for this are also 1/1.
