is one of those games with a large range of betting options.
Played at a table with a wheel and a ball, this game
basically allows players to bet on the number or color
of the slot where the ball will ultimately land. The minimum
and maximum bets vary a bit, so you'll have to make sure
to check this at each site you play.o's site.
The payoffs depends on the kind of bet you make and,
again, lots of choices exist. It's possible, for example,
to bet on odd or even numbers, red or black (or the
green "zero" slot), groupings of numbers,
as well as columns and rows. You'll find below a short
description of the different sorts of bets you can place
and their payoffs. For additional information on the
finer aspects of the game and other choices, check out
