Where to play Roulette in the US

Showing 12 of 362 venues

Roulette is the classic casino wheel game. A ball spins around a numbered wheel and players bet on where it will land. The single biggest decision you make is which wheel to play. A European single-zero wheel carries a 2.70 percent house edge, while the American double-zero wheel nearly doubles it to 5.26 percent. No betting system can overcome the house edge, but choosing the right wheel and understanding the bet types will give you the best chance. Roulette requires no skill and rewards players who enjoy the visual spectacle. You'll find live tables at most major properties. See our full US casino directory for venue contact details and hours.

Roulette is the game for players who want visual excitement without strategy charts. The wheel spin is the most iconic image in casino gaming, and the range of bets means you can play for hours on a small budget or go for big payouts on single numbers. The house edge is higher than table games like blackjack or craps, but the trade-off is zero skill requirement and a relaxed pace. The European single-zero wheel is always the better choice, and American wheels should be played only when no European option exists.

How to play Roulette

  1. Buy in at the table. The dealer assigns you color chips unique to your position so bets do not get confused.

  2. Place your chips on numbers, colors, or groups before the dealer calls no more bets. You can place many bets on one spin.

  3. The dealer spins the wheel and releases the ball. The ball lands in a numbered pocket.

  4. The dealer marks the winning number, clears losing bets, and pays winners. Wait for the marker to come off before placing new bets.

  5. Color up your chips with the dealer before leaving the table. Roulette chips have no value away from the table.

Roulette Rules and Payouts

The European wheel has 37 pockets (1-36 plus 0). The American wheel has 38 (1-36 plus 0 and 00). The extra double-zero pocket on American wheels raises the house edge from 2.70 percent to 5.26 percent on all bets except the five-number bet. The la partage rule on European wheels, where it applies, returns half your even-money bet when the ball hits zero, reducing the edge on those bets to 1.35 percent.

Inside bets include straight up (35:1), split (17:1), street (11:1), corner (8:1), and six line (5:1). Outside bets include red/black (1:1), odd/even (1:1), high/low (1:1), dozens (2:1), and columns (2:1). Every bet except the five-number bet on American wheels carries the same house edge. The belief that outside bets are safer is false: the edge is identical.

  • Which roulette wheel has the better odds?

    The European single-zero wheel is always the better choice. Its house edge is 2.70 percent compared with 5.26 percent on the American double-zero wheel.

Editorial Strategy

Strategy & etiquette for Roulette

  • Always choose a single-zero European wheel when one is available. It halves the house edge.

  • Look for tables with the la partage rule, which returns half your even-money bet when the ball hits zero.

  • No betting system overcomes the house edge. The wheel has no memory of past spins.

  • Outside even-money bets last longer for a given bankroll, but the edge per dollar is the same as inside bets.

  • Never play the five-number bet (0, 00, 1, 2, 3) on American wheels. It carries a 7.89 percent edge.

  • Set a session budget. The moderate pace means a $100 bankroll can last for hours at a $1 table.

Roulette Strategy

The best roulette strategy is wheel selection. European single-zero is always superior. American double-zero is inferior. This is not a matter of opinion -- it is arithmetic. The la partage rule makes the best European tables even better. If only American roulette is available, look for the surrender rule on even-money bets, which returns half your bet on 0 or 00 and reduces the edge to 2.63 percent.

Betting systems like the Martingale (doubling after a loss) are mathematically bankrupt. They do not change the house edge and expose you to catastrophic losses when a losing streak reaches the table maximum. The only sane approach to roulette is to choose the right wheel, bet what you can afford to lose, and enjoy the spin. For a faster electronic version, see our electronic roulette guide.

Common Roulette variants

Where to Play Roulette

Roulette is available at every US casino. European single-zero wheels are found in high-limit rooms and at European-facing properties. American double-zero wheels are the standard on the main floor. Look for la partage on European tables and surrender on American tables.

Before you sit, confirm the wheel type and the rules on even-money bets. Browse our US casino directory to find venues near you.

  • Can a betting system beat roulette?

    No. Systems such as the Martingale change the pattern of your bets but not the underlying odds. Each spin is independent and the house edge applies to every wager.
