Roulette: the beginner creator guide

Roulette uses a numbered wheel and a ball. The round ends when the ball settles in a pocket. Wheel variants and their number layouts differ.

01 / THE BASICS

How a round works

01

Check the wheel

A European-style wheel has a single zero; an American-style wheel generally has both zero and double zero. Always identify the version on screen.

02

Number layout

The table layout groups numbers in rows and columns. Colour, parity and range labels describe groups on the table.

03

Inside and outside labels

These names describe where outcome selections appear on the layout. Rules and payouts belong to the specific table.

04

Round flow

The table accepts selections, closes the round, spins the wheel and records the pocket where the ball settles.

02 / THE LANGUAGE

Three terms to know

Pocket
one numbered space on the wheel.
Single-zero / double-zero
wheel layouts with different numbers of zero pockets.
Inside / outside
labels for areas on the table layout.
