Apart from being one of the oldest and the most popular casino
in the world, the game of Roulette is also one of the simplest
to understand. American Roulette is nothing but the modernized
version of the game Roulette that existed during the earlier
days. This modern version can be especially found in Las
Vegas casinos'.
The game consists of a wheel with either 37 or 38 stops,
with the ball having an equal chance to land in any of those
stops. A player can place his bet by placing chips in the
betting areas of the Roulette table.
The game of Roulette allows you to place 16 types of bets.
By placing the chips differently, one can bet on 1, 2, 3,
4, 5, 6, 12 or 18 numbers.
These bets are divided into two major categories- Inside
bets & Outside bets.
The inside bets are the ones that are placed on the numbers
directly inside the layout. The outside bets are made on
the betting area on the Roulette table bordering the number
layout. A word of caution, for those wanting to place the
outside bets. The layout of the outside bets keep changing
according to the table and before placing your bet make sure
you are well aware of the correct area. Source:

As far as the payoffs are concerned, it follows the universal
rule of the more difficult the chances of winning the higher
are the payoffs. There are special tokens that one has to
buy to play the game, and they cannot be used to play any
other game. The tokens are different for different players,
thus avoiding the confusion of which bets belong to which
player. However, when you leave the Roulette table the tokens
are cashed back to the normal casino chips. The reason for
having different colours token is that there are always a
lot of people placing different sort of bets at different
places of the table. Roulette doesn't allow any kind of cheating.
In fact, a strict rule ahs been applied to avoid any sort
of cheating while playing the game. Normally people who are
losing tend to get lured into moving their tokens from the
losing spot to the winning one, so as to get some sort of
money back. The rule that has been enforced to keep away
such evil practices is that all players are told to keep
their hands away from the table, especially the spinning
wheel. The only time a player is allowed to bring his hand
close to the table is at the start of each game while placing
bets.
The amount of payout depends upon the kind of bets
that a player has placed. The following are the payout types
according to the bets placed:
Even 1:1
