This is different than American Roulette where the roulette wheel is divided into 38 sections numbered from 1 to 36, with two additional green sections, one marked 0 and the other marked 00.
The player bets on the arrangement for a number, group of numbers or color that the player predicts will win. The dealer will spin the ball along the wheel's rim. The bank will pay winning wagers and collect losing wagers when the ball comes to a stop on a number. Then, bets are placed again for the next spin. You are allowed to place as many chips on the table at once as you want.
When the zero wins, the La partage rule is used to determine what happens with the bets. All even-money bets (i.e. red/black, even/odd, 1-18/19-36) will lose half of their value and all other bets will lose, except for bets on zero itself. Payouts are as follows:
Straight-Up Bets - Payout is 35 to 1 - you may place any chip on any single number.
Split Bets (2 Numbers) - Payout is 17 to 1 - you may place a chip on the line between any two adjacent numbers. You will win if either number comes up.
Street Bets (3 Numbers) - Payout is 11 to 1 - you may place a chip on the horizontal line across the top of the layout on any number of the twelve rows of three numbers. You will receive all 3 numbers in the street. Street bets are also available connecting to one or both zeros. (Example: 0,1,2 or 0,00,2)
Corner Bets (4 Numbers) - Payout is 8 to 1 - you may place a chip between any four number groupings (for example 4, 5, 7, 8) and you will receive all four numbers in that group.
First-Five Bet (5 Numbers) - Payout is 6 to 1 - 0, 00, 1, 2, and 3 is the only possible five number grouping on the Roulette layout. You should place the chip on the upper horizontal line between the 00 and the 3.
Double Street Bets (6 Numbers) - Payout is 5 to 1 - to get all six numbers in the double streets you should place a chip on the outside line between adjacent streets.
Dozen Bets - Payout is 2 to 1 - you should place a chip on the 1st 12 (1 to 12), 2nd 12 (13 to 24) or 3rd 12 (25 to 36)
Column Bets - Payout is 2 to 1 - you may place a chip on a box at the end of one of three columns.
Even Money Bets - Payout is 1 to 1 - you should place a chip on Odd or Even, Black or Red, 1-18 or 19-36.
