Roulette
Roulette is as easy as just putting a chip on your favorite number - it may come up, and you could win 35 times your bet instantly. Many a crisis has been solved in Hollywood movies by putting it all on the lucky number, but there's far more to Roulette than that.* Please note, these rules and instructions cover specific details on how to play games in Playtech Casino's.
Many Roulette masters play by covering all of the numbers in some way, using corner bets, split bets and street bets to increase their chances of hitting it big. While Roulette can get complicated when you try to have all the numbers covered, its easy to learn and you'll be playing like a pro, and more importantly - winning - in no time!
Displayed on every Roulette table is a board, displaying the history of numbers which have been spun recently, allowing you to see what's coming up and decide your future bets accordingly.
