Roulette Bets and Payouts

This page lists the names of the different roulette bets that are available, and includes information on payouts for each bet.

Roulette is one of our favorite games, by the way, and we think it gets a bad rap because the house edge is relatively high compared to some other games. But the bottom line is that what the house really wins is determined by the size of your bets, how many bets you make per hour.

	Inside Bets	Pays Out
Straight Bets	You bet on whether the ball will land on any single number.	35 to 1
Split Bets	You bet on two side-by-side numbers, placing the bet on the line splitting the two numbers.	17 to 1
Street Bets	You bet on three numbers by placing your wager on the outline line next to the row of three numbers.	11 to 1
Square Bets	You wager on whether the 0, 1, 2 and 3 hits. You place the bet on where the 0 and 3 come together.	8 to 1
Corner Bets	You wager on any four number that are grouped together on the table. You place the bet by placing a chip where the four numbers intersect.	8 to 1
Six Number Line Bets	This is a double Street Bet, where you place the bet on the line intersecting the two rows of numbers.	5 to 1
	Outside Bets
Column Bets	There are three columns on the roulette table under the 2-to-1 box. You bet on one of the columns of numbers. Because the zeroes are in neither column, there is a house edge.	2 to 1
Dozen Bets	You bet on a group of sequential numbers, either 1-12, 13-24 or 25-36. The house edge comes from the zeroes.	2 to 1
Even-Money Bets	You can place a 1-to-1 odds bet on hitting one of any category on the wheel. These categories are Red or Black, Even or Odd and Low or High (1-18; 19-36). Once again, because of the zeroes, which fit in no category, there is a built-in house edge	even money (1 to 1)
