How to Play

Roulette is an extremely simple game to learn. In the game, a small white ball is spun around a wheel until it loses speed and drops into a pocket. The object of the game is to anticipate either the color, exact number or number grouping into which it will fall.

Depending on where you are in the world, roulette games can have slightly different structures. Betfair’s Live Dealer Roulette wheels are of the American variety, which have pockets for both 0 and 00. European roulette, on the other hand, only has one 0 slot.

There are two types of bets available in the game: outside bets and inside bets. Outside bets are wagers on colors or big groupings of numbers, such as odd or evens, columns, dozens or black or red positions. These types of bets are easier to hit, but pay less when they do.

Inside bets are wagers on individual or small groupings of numbers. These bets are much harder to hit, but payout well if you guess correctly.

Placing Your Bet

First choose an open seat at the table and wait for the current game to finish. You can then click on a chip value and click on the spot of the felt where you’d like to place your bet. You can make multiple different bets on the same spin in the same way. Once the Befair croupier spins the ball, the betting round will end and players will wait for the ball to lose speed and drop into a pocket. When it does, the dealer will examine each of the bets and pay out winners according to the game’s paytable.
