Roulette Betting
We suggest you check out our roulette strategies to see what you should do depending on what your player profile is.
To understand the rules of roulette, first of all we have to know the types of bets there are. Below are all the bets that we can make playing online roulette.
Inside Bets
Types of indoor bets:
- Whole or full. When we bet with a chip on a whole number.
- Horse. When our token covers two numbers.
- Trio or Row. In this case, we place the chip so that it covers the entire row and we are betting on 3 numbers.
- Square. In this case we cover the 4 numbers in which we place the card.
- Double row. And if we place the chip in the same place as in the Trio or Row, but covering two rows, then we are betting on 6 numbers, the Double Row.
In American roulette we can also bet on 5 numbers, covering the following numbers: 0, 00, 1, 2 and 3.
Outside Bets
These are bets to double or triple our bet amount.
- Red or black.
- Odd or even.
- 1-18 or 19-36.
To try to triple our prize we can choose to:
- 1st, 2nd or 3rd dozen.
- 1st, 2nd or 3rd column.
- Placing our token as a trio, covering the number 34, the 2nd column and the 3rd dozen.

Odds and Payouts
Below, you have a table in which you will understand the types of roulette bets, the payouts and the odds of winning each type of bet, both in Dollar Roulette - the most common - and in American Roulette.
| Type of Roulette Bet | Roulette bet example | Potential payout | Odds on Roulette dollarpea | Odds in American Roulette |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Column | 3rd Dozen | 2:1 | 32.40% | 31.6% |
| Dozen | Any number from 13 to 24 | 2:1 | 32.40% | 31.6% |

We remind you that the distinction between these Roulette variants the fact is that the Dollarpean roulette has a single 0 and the American roulette has a 0 and a double 00, which alters the odds.
This double 00 increases the advantage margin of the casino and is a little less advantageous for the players, which at the same time also increases the payouts.
| You know what? |
|---|
| If you make outside roulette bets to double, that is, bets to double money: Red/Black, Odd/Even and 1-18/19-36 and the ball lands on the number 0 then you will receive half of those you have bet, instead of losing all the money. |
Roulette variants
As we mentioned, there are different variants and each one has its specific roulette rules, below we are going to talk about these distinctions in each of them.
Dollarpea Roulette rules, French and American roulette rules
As we have told you, the only distinction of these roulettes is that the dollar and French roulette have a single 0 and in the American roulette we can see a 0 and a double 0.
The rules of the french roulette and dollarpea are the same, they differ only in the way they present the betting board.
Roulette rules in Prison
The “In Prison" rule occurs when we make even bets.
It is more common in French roulette, although we can also see it in dollarpea roulette.
The “In Prison" rule is activated when the ball lands on the 0.
In this case, the money wagered will be available on the next spin.
If the ball lands on an even number on the next spin, you will get your money back.
However, if it lands on an odd number, you will lose your bet.
La Partage Rules
Rule The Partage it translates as "split" in French and also applies to even money bets.
It can also be found in some dollar games, but it is more common in French roulette.
The Partage is activated if the ball lands on 0, just like in Prison.
Here, the bet is divided into two parts. If you win with this bet, the casino takes half and the player the other half.
