Understanding the Roulette Wheel & Table Layout
Let’s break down the main components you’ll see when you play Roulette online at Fortune Edge Casino:
- The Wheel: This is the star of the show! It features numbered pockets, typically 1 through 36, which are coloured red and black. There’s also at least one green pocket marked ‘0’.
- Important Difference:
- European/French Roulette: Has one green ‘0’ pocket. This version generally offers slightly better odds for players! (We recommend this one!)
- American Roulette: Has two green pockets, ‘0’ and ’00’. This slightly increases the house advantage.
- Important Difference:
- The Table (Betting Grid): This is where you place your bets using virtual chips. It has sections corresponding to all the numbers on the wheel (the “inside” area) and sections for broader types of bets like Red/Black, Odd/Even (the “outside” area).
- The Ball: A small ball spun around the rim of the wheel, eventually landing in one of the numbered pockets.
The Goal: Super simple! Your main objective is to predict which numbered pocket the ball will land in after the wheel stops spinning.
Placing Your Bets: Inside vs. Outside Explained
Roulette offers many betting options, but they mainly fall into two categories. Let’s look at the most common ones you’ll find at Fortunes Edge:
Outside Bets (Great for Beginners!)
These bets cover larger groups of numbers, offering higher chances of winning but smaller payouts (usually 1:1 or 2:1). Perfect for learning the ropes!
- Red or Black: Betting on which colour the winning number will be. (Pays 1:1)
- Odd or Even: Betting on whether the winning number will be odd or even. (Pays 1:1)
- Low (1-18) or High (19-36): Betting on which half of the main numbers the ball will land in. (Pays 1:1)
- Dozens: Betting on one of three groups: 1st 12 (1-12), 2nd 12 (13-24), or 3rd 12 (25-36). (Pays 2:1)
- Columns: Betting on one of the three vertical columns of numbers on the grid. (Pays 2:1)
(Note: If the ball lands on ‘0’ (or ’00’), most outside bets lose. This is the house edge! French Roulette sometimes has special rules like ‘La Partage’ that give half your even-money bet back if 0 hits – ask support or check table rules!)
Inside Bets (Higher Risk, Higher Reward!)
These bets are placed directly on specific numbers or smaller groups within the grid. They have lower winning odds but offer much larger payouts if they hit!
- Straight Up: Betting on a single number (e.g., your lucky number 7!). (Highest payout, typically 35:1)
- Split: Placing a chip on the line between two adjacent numbers (e.g., 8 and 9). (Pays 17:1)
- Street: Placing a chip at the end of a row of three numbers (e.g., 1, 2, 3). (Pays 11:1)
- Corner (or Square): Placing a chip on the intersection touching four numbers. (Pays 8:1)
- Six Line (or Double Street): Placing a chip at the intersection between two rows of three numbers. (Pays 5:1)
(Pro Tip: You can place multiple different bets on the same spin!)
(Advanced Note: European/French tables at FortuneEdge might offer ‘Call Bets’ or ‘Announced Bets’ covering specific wheel sections like ‘Voisins du Zéro’. Focus on Inside/Outside bets first as a beginner.)
How a Round Plays Out: Step-by-Step Roulette Gameplay at Fortune’s Edge Casino
Playing online Roulette at Fortune’s Edge Casino is straightforward and exciting:
Step 1: Place Your Bets
- Before the round starts, select your desired chip value. Then, click or tap on the corresponding area(s) on the virtual betting grid where you want to place your wager(s). You’ll usually have a set amount of time to do this. In Live Roulette, the dealer will announce when betting is closed (“No more bets!”).
Step 2: The Spin!
- In virtual Roulette games at FEG Casino, you might click a ‘Spin’ button. In Live Roulette, the real dealer will spin the wheel and launch the ball. The anticipation begins!
Step 3: The Result
- Watch the mesmerizing spin as the ball bounces around before finally settling into one of the numbered pockets. The camera will often zoom in on the winning number.
Step 4: Payouts
- The system automatically calculates the results. All losing bets are cleared from the table. If any of your bets were winners, your payout is instantly added to your Fortune Edge Gaming balance according to the odds of the bet you made! Then, betting opens for the next exciting round.
Spinning Wisely: Roulette Tips & Strategy Insights
Roulette is primarily a game of chance governed by physics and probability. While no system can guarantee wins, playing smartly can enhance your experience:
- Understand It’s Chance: Remember that each spin is independent. The wheel has no memory. The previous result has absolutely no influence on the next one. Thinking “Red is due” after several Blacks is a common fallacy!
- Start with Outside Bets: Friend, if you’re new, stick with the near 50/50 bets like Red/Black or Odd/Even. This lets you enjoy the game longer, understand the flow, and minimize risk while you learn.
- Choose Your Wheel Wisely (European/French Preferred!): As mentioned, European and French Roulette (single ‘0’) offer slightly better odds for you compared to American Roulette (double ’00’). Always opt for single-zero wheels when available at Fortune Edge Casino! (E-E-A-T Tip!)
- Bankroll Management is KEY: This is crucial! Before playing, decide on a specific amount of money you are comfortable potentially losing (your session bankroll). Choose chip values and bet sizes that allow you to play multiple spins within that budget. Never bet money you can’t afford to lose, and never chase losses.
- Beware of ‘Winning Systems’: You might read about systems like the Martingale (doubling your bet after every loss). Be very careful! While mathematically interesting, these systems don’t change the underlying odds and can lead to very large losses quickly if you hit a losing streak against table limits. Play for fun, not based on risky systems. Play Responsibly
- Practice Makes Comfortable: Use the free “Demo Play” modes available on many virtual Roulette games at Fortunes Edge Casino to get comfortable with the betting layout and pace without risking real money.

Quick Roulette FAQ
Q: What’s the main difference between European and American Roulette at FEG Casino?
A: The key difference is the wheel! European Roulette has one green ‘0’ pocket, while American Roulette has both ‘0’ and ’00’. Because of the extra ’00’ pocket, the house edge is slightly higher in the American version. That’s why we usually recommend playing European Roulette at FEG Casino if possible – better odds for you!
Q: Can I play Live Roulette with GCash?
A: Yes, absolutely! Depositing funds via GCash or Maya to play at our Live Roulette tables is quick and easy. Cashing out your winnings via these methods is also designed to be fast here at FortuneEdge.
Q: Is there a betting strategy that guarantees wins in Roulette?
A: Honestly, no. Since Roulette is a game of independent chance events, no betting system can guarantee profits in the long run. Smart strategies focus on managing your money wisely (bankroll management) and understanding the odds of different bets, rather than trying to predict the outcome.
Q: What are the ‘best’ bets for beginners at Fortunes Edge Casino?
A: For beginners, the “Outside Bets” are generally recommended. These include Red/Black, Odd/Even, and Low (1-18)/High (19-36). They offer the highest probability of winning (close to 50%) and pay out 1-to-1, making them great for learning the game and managing your bankroll more easily.
