The base game
A European wheel has 37 pockets: 1 to 36 and a single zero. Even-money bets (red or black, odd or even, high or low) lose on zero, which gives the 2.70% edge. American wheels add a double zero and a 5.26% edge.

How a round runs
- Place chips while the betting window is open.
- The window closes and any multipliers are drawn.
- The ball lands; winning bets are paid, with a multiplier if one hit your number.
- Results show in the history panel. Past results do not affect the next spin.
Stakes and side bets
- Split your stake between outside bets and a few straight-ups if you want a chance at a multiplier.
- Keep side bets to a fixed small share of each spin.
- On speed tables, lower the stake; more spins per hour cost more.
