Roulette is a table game in which you bet on where a ball lands on a numbered wheel. Anyone searching for mr vegas roulette usually wants to know which versions exist, how the bets pay and how to choose a table. This page covers the rules, the common variants and what to check at Mr Vegas.
Common variants
The most common variant is European roulette, with 37 pockets numbered 0 to 36. American roulette adds a second zero for 38 pockets, and that extra pocket raises the house edge. French roulette uses the single-zero wheel with its own layout and, in many versions, rules that return part of an even-money stake when the ball lands on zero.
Many studios also release themed games with extra features, as well as speed and multi-wheel tables. Which of these are available depends on the casino, so check the wheel type and rules shown in the game before you play at Mr Vegas.
How the game works
You place chips on the layout before the wheel spins. Inside bets cover single numbers or small groups, and they pay more because they win less often. Outside bets cover large groups, such as red or black, odd or even, or dozens, and they pay less because they win more often. When the ball settles, winning bets are paid at the odds for that type of bet.
Each spin is independent, so a number that has not appeared for a while is no more likely next time. Betting systems such as doubling after a loss do not change the odds. They only increase how much you can lose.

RNG or live dealer roulette
An RNG table spins immediately on a random number generator, so you set the pace. A live dealer table is run from a studio by a presenter, with a betting window and other players at the same wheel. Both are random and use the same basic bets. Our live casino guide explains how live tables differ, and our mobile guide covers playing on a phone.
Practical points
Check whether the wheel has one zero or two before you bet, since single-zero tables cost less over time. Learn the table limits and the bet types first, set a deposit limit and a time limit, and stop when you reach either. Choose a stake you are comfortable losing, and do not raise it to win back a loss.
