American Roulette
Introduction
American Roulette is played by spinning a small ball on a round roulette wheel with thirty-eight numbered slots. When the ball lands on one of these slots, the winning number is determined.
The roulette wheel includes the numbers 1 through 36, a zero (0) and a double zero (00).
The aim of the game is to guess which number the ball will land on by placing one or more bets that cover a specific number. You win if you have placed a bet that covers that particular number. The payout amount depends on the type of bet.
How to play
Place your bets during the betting time on the roulette table layout, which includes all standard betting positions.
While betting is open, select your chip value and place it on the desired betting area. You can bet until betting closes. After that time, no further bets will be accepted.
The Total Bet window shows your total bet for the current round.
The ball will spin on the roulette wheel according to the valid spin rule described in the paragraph “Valid Roulette Spin Rule” of this text.
When the ball lands on one of the numbered slots, the winning number is highlighted on the screen. If any of your bets cover the winning number, you will receive a prize according to the roulette payout table. The amount you have won is shown in the winning message.
Bets
Many types of bets can be placed at the roulette table. Each bet can cover a single number or a specific range of numbers, and each type has its own payout odds.
Bets placed on the numbered spaces or the lines separating them are called inside bets , and bets placed on the special boxes below and to the sides of the roulette wheel are called outside bets . The numbers included when you bet in that betting area are highlighted.
Internal bets
- Straight up bet : place your chips directly on a single number (including zero and double zero).
- Split bet : place your chips on the line between two numbers (for example, split 0/2, 16/17).
- Street bet : Place your chips at the bottom of any row of numbers on the Outside Bets side. A street bet covers three numbers (e.g., street 7, 8, 9). Placed bets made on the intersections 0, 1, and 2 or 00, 2, and 3 are also accepted as street bets.
- Square bet : Place your chips on the intersecting lines where four numbers meet. All four numbers are covered (e.g., square 5, 6, 8, 9). A bet on 0, 1, 2, 3 (on the lower intersection of 0 and 1) is also considered a square bet.
- Five-number bet : Place your chips where the numbers 0 and 1 meet in the outer corner of the betting grid. A five-line bet covers five numbers: 0, 00, 1, 2, and 3.
- Six-line bet : Place your chips on the T-shaped cross lines between two adjacent cross rows. A six-line bet covers all the numbers in both rows, covering a total of six numbers (e.g., six-line 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9).
Outside bets
- Column bet : Place your chips in one of the "2:1" boxes at the end of the columns to cover all twelve numbers in that column. Zero and double zero are not covered by any of the columns.
- Dozen bet : place your chips in one of the three boxes marked as “1st 12”, “2nd 12” or “3rd 12” to cover the twelve numbers in the sequence from 1 to 36. Zero and double zero are not covered by any of the dozens.
- Simple Luck : Place your chips on one of these six squares to cover 18 numbers on the board: Red/Black, Even/Odd, Low (1–18) or High (19–36). Zero and double zero are not covered by any of these squares.
Betting circuit
Betting on the betting circuit is a convenient and simple way for players to bet on a wide sector of the roulette wheel at once.
Click or tap the Change button to make the betting circuit the default layout, instead of the betting board that is selected by default. You can change it back at any time.
To switch to the betting circuit layout on mobile devices, tap the circuit icon. Tap it again to return to the betting board.
Neighboring bets
A neighbor bet covers a given number and the selected number of its nearest neighbors on either side of the betting circuit. By default, the number of neighbors is fixed at two, but this can be changed.
To place a neighbor bet, click or tap on a specific number in the betting grid. A chip will be placed on that number and on the neighboring numbers to its left and right.
You can change the number of neighbors on each side from 1 to 9.

Valid roulette spin rule
A winning number is only valid if the draw is considered valid. For a draw to be valid:
The roulette ball must spin in the opposite direction to the rotation of the wheel and make at least three complete revolutions from the point where the ball was launched before stopping for the spin to be valid.
If the throw is not considered valid, the situation is called a “Void Throw” .
A print run is declared void when:
- The ball does not complete 3 full rotations.
- The ball spins in the same direction as the roulette wheel.
- The roulette wheel stops spinning during the spin.
- The ball gets stuck, either on a fret or in a numbered box.
- The ball goes out of the roulette wheel.
- The ball is thrown before the roulette wheel is spun.
- A foreign object enters the roulette wheel during the spin.
In the event of a "void throw", the ball is thrown again following our standard operating procedures.
Your bets will remain until a valid spin is made.
Game problems
If an error occurs in the game, the game process, or transactions, the round will be temporarily paused and the turn manager will be notified. You and the other players will be informed via an on-screen notification explaining that the problem is being investigated.
If the error can be resolved immediately, the round will continue as normal. If it cannot be resolved immediately, the round will be canceled and the initial bets will be refunded to all players participating in the round.
In a single spin, you can cover a maximum of 90% of the roulette numbers with bets. If you exceed this limit, all your bets for that spin will be rejected.
If you wish to discuss any matter related to the game, please contact Live Support referencing the game ID number .
