Roulette is a table game in which you bet on where a ball will land on a numbered wheel. If you are searching for "bet365 roulette", you are probably checking which versions exist and how the game works before you play at bet365. This page covers the common variants, the rules in short and how live and computer tables differ.
Common roulette variants
Three wheel layouts are common. European roulette has 37 pockets: the numbers 1 to 36 and a single zero. French roulette uses the same wheel and layout, usually with its own table terms and extra rules on even-money bets. American roulette adds a double zero, giving 38 pockets, which raises the house edge, so it is worth knowing which wheel you are on.
Many online tables also add themed or speed versions, which change the presentation rather than the basic bet types. Which of these bet365 lists is something to confirm before you play, since lineups change. You can visit bet365 to see the current tables, and check the table limits before you join.
How roulette works
You place chips on the layout before the ball is launched. Inside bets cover single numbers or small groups of neighbouring numbers and pay more, but hit less often. Outside bets cover larger areas, such as red or black, odd or even, or a dozen, and pay less but hit more often.
The ball lands in one pocket and winning bets are paid at the odds for that bet type. Every spin is independent, so earlier results do not affect the next one. The zero pockets are what give the house its edge, and that edge is the same whichever bet you choose on a given wheel.

Live or computer roulette
A computer (RNG) table uses software to decide each spin, so rounds are fast and you set your own pace. A live table uses a real wheel and a dealer on camera, and rounds follow the studio's schedule. The odds depend on the wheel layout, not on whether the table is live or computer-run. For more on live tables, see our live casino guide.
Before you play
Check whether the wheel has one zero or two, read the table limits and set your limit before the first spin. Choose a stake you are comfortable losing, and treat each spin as separate. Betting systems do not change the odds. Playing on a phone is covered on the mobile version page. Welcome offers have their own conditions on the welcome bonus page, and T&Cs apply.
