If you wish to play online roulette you should start by getting to know the difference between the two different roulette wheels that you can actually play on. You can play on the American roulette wheel or you can play on the European wheel. Playing on the European roulette wheel gives you the best winning opportunities since this wheel has only 37 slots while the American wheel has 38 slots.

Having settled which table you wish to play at, it’s time to take a closer look at the basic Roulette rules. These are quite simple and easy to learn.  To put it shortly, the aim of Roulette is to hope for the ball to land in the slot you predicted before the roulette wheel started spinning. If the ball actually does land in the right slot you’ve won. How much money you win depends on the bet you placed before the wheel started spinning. 

When betting you have several bet opportunities. Thus, you can put your money on a particular number or you can bet on the color of the numbers. You can also bet on a combination of numbers,  and finally you can bet on whether you believe the tiny ball will stop on an uneven or even number.

The above mentioned bet opportunities can be divided into inside and outside bets. The inside bets include placing your bets on any number between zero and 36, two numbers next to each other or three numbers in a row. These bets are called Straight Up, Split Bet and Street Bet.
