How to Play Roulette

Roulette is a captivating casino game played worldwide. The large payoffs that are possible for small wagers stimulate the interest of both novice and expert players in Vegas.

Roulette Rules


The rules of roulette involve different players using different-colored chips, so that bets are not confused. The value of your chips is determined by the price you pay for them. When you’re done playing, make sure to redeem your chips at the same table where you were playing. No one will know the value of your chips once you leave that table. 

Each roulette wheel spin provides a multitude of options for the player. A player may bet on single numbers, rows of numbers, or on adjacent numbers. A player may also play colors, odd or even numbers, among others. A bet on a single number pays 35 to 1, including the 0 and 00. Bets on red or black, odd or even pay 1 for 1, or even money.

We’re proud to offer Roulette in three variations. In addition to our popular American-style Roulette game, which features 36 numbered slots, 0, and 00, we also offer European Roulette, which has a single 0 along with the standard 36 numbers, and is a favorite among international players. We also offer an exciting new version, Roulette Xtra and Lightning Roulette. In these games, after “No More Bets” is called, a random selection of 4 or 5 numbers multiply their payouts on straight-up wagers, from 30 to 1 up to an impressive 200 to 1. There is also our exclusive Venetian Roulette, which features a third zero space on the layout, uniquely represented by the Venetian logo or a 'V'.

The diagram illustrates the Roulette payout rules for single-chip bets and the various combinations available to you. The dealer will be happy to explain any of them. The exact placement of the chips determines the bet being made. Each player is responsible for positioning their wager correctly on the layout, regardless of whether the bet is placed by the dealer or themselves.
