Roulette Bets
Of all the casino games, roulette is often the most daunting to new players. This is simply because, of all the casino games, Roulette offers one of the most extensive amounts of bets available to players. In this article, we'll explain the most common Roulette bets.
Inside Bet
Any bet made on the inside of the number grid.
Outside Bet
An outside bet is any bet made outside thenumber grid, such as betting on black or red.
Straight Bet
The straight bet, or 'classic bet', is a bet on any one number. The straight bet offers the toughest odds to beat. Because of this, online casinos offer a payout of 35 to 1 on a straight bet win.
Split Bet
The split bet, or two-number bet, is to place a single wager on the line between two numbers, either of which will result in a win. Online casinos payout at a rate of 17 to 1 on a split bet.
Street Bet
The street bet, also known as the stream bet or three-number bet is a bet that one of three numbers will hit. Online casinos payout 11 to 1 on a street bet win.
Square Bet
The square bet, or four-number bet is a bet that, you guessed it, one of four numbers will hit. Online casinos payout 8 to 1 for a win on a square bet.
Five-Number Bet
Unlike the previous bets, which can be on any number, the five-number bet always refers to 0, 00, 1, 2 and 3. Online casinos offer a payout of 6 to 1 for a win on a five-number bet. This bet can only be made in casinos using an American style wheel, as European style roulette wheels do not include 00.
Red
A red bet is simply a bet that the next number will be red. Online casinos payout 1 to 1 for a win on a red bet.
