idola188 American Roulette – Live Dealer Tables & Game Rules

Understanding the American Roulette Wheel

The American Roulette wheel contains 38 numbered pockets: the numbers 1 through 36, plus a single zero (0) and a double-zero (00). When our live dealer spins the wheel on idola188, the ball eventually lands in one of these 38 pockets, and the winning number is announced to all active players. The layout of the betting table, called the layout, corresponds directly to the wheel, so each number and betting zone has a clear position where you place your chips.

The zero and double-zero are green pockets, while the remaining 36 numbers alternate between red and black. This colour scheme is standard across all American Roulette tables. Our live-video stream from the dealer's studio shows both the wheel spinning and the betting layout, so you can see exactly where your chips sit before and after each spin. Many players prefer American Roulette for its higher pace compared to European variants; our tables are designed to keep sessions moving smoothly without sacrificing clarity.

Inside and Outside Bets Explained

American Roulette bets are divided into two main categories: inside bets and outside bets. Inside bets cover specific numbers or small groups of numbers and typically offer higher payouts but lower probability of winning. Outside bets cover larger groups—such as all red numbers, all even numbers, or entire columns—and offer shorter odds but win more frequently.

Inside bets include straight bets (one number), split bets (two adjacent numbers), street bets (three numbers in a row), corner bets (four numbers forming a square), and line bets (six numbers across two rows). When you place an inside bet on our idola188 tables, you click or tap the specific zone on the layout, and our system records your bet instantly. A straight bet on a single number pays 35 to 1, meaning a one-unit bet wins 35 units if that number hits.

Outside bets include even-money bets like red or black, odd or even, high or low (numbers 1–18 or 19–36). We also offer column bets (one of three vertical columns of 12 numbers each) and dozen bets (12 consecutive numbers: 1–12, 13–24, or 25–36). Outside bets are simpler to understand and appeal to players seeking more frequent wins with lower payout multiples. A red or black bet pays even money (1 to 1), while a column or dozen bet pays 2 to 1.

How Each Round Unfolds on idola188

A typical American Roulette round on our tables follows a consistent sequence. First, the dealer announces that betting is open. You then place your chips on the layout using your mouse or touch screen. The betting phase lasts for a set time window—usually 10–15 seconds—depending on the table's pace setting. Once the dealer says "No more bets," the betting zone closes and you cannot add or adjust chips.

Next, the dealer spins the wheel and releases the ball. Our live-video feed shows the entire spin in real time. Once the ball lands and the dealer confirms the winning number, our system calculates all payouts automatically. Winning bets are marked on your account, and your new balance updates immediately. The cycle then repeats: betting opens again, and players place chips for the next round.

If you are new to live tables, do not worry about memorizing bet names—our interface displays the payout odds for each zone, and hovering over any area shows the bet description. Many players starting out place simple red-or-black bets while learning the rhythm, then gradually explore inside bets as they grow comfortable. On idola188, you can join mid-session, so there is no pressure to wait for a specific moment to begin.

"American Roulette's two-zero layout means slightly higher house edge than European Roulette, but the wheel's extra pocket does not change how bets are placed or how wins are calculated—only the overall odds shift."
