bb22 Roulette — Spin the Wheel, Understand the Bets, Make Smart Decisions
Roulette is one of the oldest and most popular casino games. Bet on numbers, colours, or rows — one spin of the wheel decides the result. This guide covers the rules, bet types, strategy, and live table details.
How a Round Works
A round of roulette begins with the betting phase. When the dealer or software opens the betting window, players place their chips on the designated spots on the table. The dealer then spins the wheel and releases a small ball in the opposite direction.
The wheel contains numbers from 0 to 36 — one zero (0) in European roulette, two zeros (0 and 00) in American roulette. As the ball gradually slows and settles into a pocket, that number is declared the winner. Players whose bets cover that number or its category receive a payout; all other chips are taken by the table.
Each round is independent — previous results have no effect on the next round. There is no pattern to the wheel's spin; every number has an equal chance each time.
Bet Types and Payouts
Bets in roulette are divided into two main categories — inside bets (placed on individual number sections) and outside bets (placed on broader categories).
Straight Up
A bet on a single specific number. The highest risk, the highest reward. A win pays out at 35:1.
Inside BetSplit
A chip placed between two adjacent numbers. If either one wins, the payout is 17:1.
Inside BetStreet
A bet on three numbers in a single row. If any one of the three wins, the payout is 11:1.
Inside BetRed / Black
A bet on whether the ball will land on a red or a black pocket. A win pays 1:1 (even money).
Outside BetOdd / Even
A bet on whether the winning number will be odd or even. If zero wins, this bet loses. Payout is 1:1.
Outside BetDozen Bet
A bet on one of three groups — 1–12, 13–24, or 25–36. A win pays 2:1.
Outside Bet
House Edge — Where the Casino Has the Advantage
The casino's mathematical advantage in roulette is called the house edge. European roulette has only one zero, so the edge is relatively low — over the long run, the casino retains a small fixed portion of each bet. In the American version, the second zero (00) nearly doubles that advantage.
In French roulette, the "La Partage" rule returns half the stake on even-money bets when the ball lands on zero, reducing the house edge further. At bb22, which version is available is clearly stated in the table description in the bb22 Casino section.
Strategy Tips for Beginners
Roulette is purely a game of chance — no strategy guarantees a win. However, a few habits can keep your experience organised.
- Choose a European table: The single zero means a lower house edge — avoiding the American version is the sensible choice.
- Set a budget before you start: Decide how much you are willing to spend before you play — and stop when you reach that limit.
- Start with outside bets: Red/black or odd/even bets carry lower risk and lower payouts — ideal for learning the game.
- Avoid the Martingale trap: Doubling your bet after every loss can quickly exhaust your budget.
- Play with a plan, not emotions: Resist the urge to place larger bets after a string of losses.
- Play responsibly: Read the responsible gaming guidelines — it helps keep the experience enjoyable over time.
Something to Keep in Mind
Every spin is a separate event. The idea that "black has come up 10 times, so red must be next" is completely wrong. In statistics this is known as the "Gambler's Fallacy".
In roulette, each number has roughly the same probability over the long run — past results have no influence on the next spin.
Live Dealer vs Digital Roulette
Roulette is available at bb22 in two forms — dealer-operated tables broadcast live from a studio, and software-driven digital versions.
| Feature | Live Dealer | Digital |
|---|---|---|
| Environment | Real studio, human dealer | Animation and RNG |
| Speed | Some wait between each spin | Very fast, at your own pace |
| Variants | European, French, Speed Roulette | European, American |
| Mobile Support | Fully supported | Fully supported |
For a live experience, check the Evolution and Pragmatic Play Live tables in the Aster Live section — several roulette variants are available there.
Table Limits — Where Do They Start
bb22's roulette tables have a range of limits, so there is a suitable option for both new and experienced players.
Low-limit tables are ideal for learning — you can get used to the rules and rhythm with small bets. Regular players tend to feel comfortable at mid-limit tables. High-limit or VIP tables allow larger bets and usually have a distinct atmosphere.
On live dealer tables, each bet type may have its own limit — inside bets generally have a lower maximum, outside bets a higher one. It is worth checking the bet limits before sitting down at a table.
