Explore our roulette guides to bets, wheel types, payouts and zero rules. Find explanations of table limits, French rules, live wheels and multiplier games.
A roulette question may concern the wheel, the betting layout or the way a particular wager is settled. Start by identifying which of those you are comparing. A game’s presentation or multiplier feature does not by itself describe the complete rule model.
The collection covers ordinary bets as well as French rules and named variants. It keeps the chance of a covered result separate from profit odds, returned stakes and the effect of zero.

7 min readWhich roulette details need separate checks?
- A wheel’s physical number order and the betting grid have different purposes. A racetrack bet needs its own pocket coverage.
- French zero rules apply only under their stated conditions. La Partage, En Prison and an ordinary losing-zero outcome should not be merged.
- A minimum per position, a bet-type limit and a whole-round limit can be different constraints. Add all accepted wagers to establish the round cost.
