Here at NetBet UK casino, our blogs usually feature the most popular or latest games each week. However, they’re not strictly focused on slot games. Every week we have a blog that works as a guide to other popular games such as roulette online. In today’s blog, we’ll provide a comprehensive overview of roulette’s rules which you should keep in mind before you start spinning the wheel at NetBet casino.

How to Play Roulette

Playing online roulette is easy. The online variants of the European wheel are perfect for beginners, allowing you to try the games for free before you splash the cash. Since it’s a game of chance rather than skill, roulette can be costly if you don’t know the rules. That’s why you should try each game for free before you set your sights on real money returns.

The Rules of Roulette

Roulette is one of the simplest games at online casinos. It’s played on a wheel with 37 numbers. They vary from 1 to 36 in addition to a green zero. The numbers alternative between red and black with the exception of the zero which sits in a green pocket. Your goal is to correctly predict the number or numbers (pockets) where the ball stops after the wheel is spun.

You can bet on single numbers which offer the best payouts or multiple numbers which pay less. Standard roulette tables (European) also allow you to bet on even money bets such as red/black or odd/even numbers. Learning the rules is easy, since you only need a few spins to understand the concept.

Of course, most free variants of roulette at NetBet casino also offer a guide which takes you over the payouts and rules for even easier learning.

Roulette Bets

The key to playing roulette is understanding how the bets work. Inside bets are made on the inner section of the wheel. The most popular one is the Straight Up bet or a bet on a single number which pays 35:1. With inside bets, you can also bet on 2-6 numbers, with the payouts appropriately adjusted.

Outside bets sit on the outer edge of the table. These include even money bets such as red/black or odd/even. Outside bets also allow you to place a bet on a dozen numbers which pays 2:1 if the ball stops on one of them.

Roulette Tips

Roulette is a game of luck, so no strategy can help you win all the time. Even if you use one of the many available roulette strategies, you should know they’re not bulletproof. Some of the most popular roulette strategies such as the Martingale require you to double your bets after losses, which can prove costly in the long run.

The best way to play roulette is responsibly and with a cool head. Understand that losses are a natural part of the game and stick to your bankroll. If you go over it, you should log out and try another day.
