The many bets that players can make in a game of roulette make it really very interesting. Basically, the rules let players to place bets on which number the ball will land on the wheel. Other bets like the color of the slot where the ball lands on, the number being odd or even, and specific group of numbers are also allowed in the game.

Here's a short walk through all the betting rules in roulette. You'll find that understanding and mastering the rules of the game of roulette will only require a little effort.

The payoffs for this game will greatly depend on the type of stakes or bets you make, what roulette wheel you have on the table, and the house rules of a casino. So you'll find that there is a wide array of chances and opportunities open to all players. A lot of these rules will deal mainly on the different bets players make in the game of roulette.

Players are allowed to place bets on the numbers depicted on the table. Thereby betting that the ball spinning in the roulette wheel will fall on the slot for that number. If you manage to win, then this wager will pay 35 to one. But players also have the option to bet on two different numbers so that if the ball lands on either number you win. This bet has a payoff equal to 17 to one since it has better chances of winning.

A trio is a bet on three numbers placing your chips where the numbers intersect (e.g. betting on zero, one, and two or zero, two, and three). This bet will payoff 11 to one in roulette. A corner bet, as you might have guessed, is a wager you place on four numbers at the same time. You place your chips on the corner where four numbers meet. This wager will payoff at eight to one.

But don't confuse the four numbers bet with a corner bet. A four numbers bet is betting on zero, one, two, and three, placing your chips on the intersection at zero and three, and paying off at eight to one. In American roulette this will be a five number bet with your chips at the intersection at zero and one.

Players can also place bets on a row of numbers, known as a street bet. Players are also allowed to bet on two street bets, known as a line. The payoff is 11 to one and five to one for the street and line bets respectively. Players are allowed to bet on a column of numbers (payoff of two to one). The following bets payoff one to one: the first 18 or second 18 numbers, if the number is odd or even, red or black.

These are the betting rules in roulette. Players may mix and match them as they wish.
