Wagers on luck. This notion unites three varieties of combinations: red/black, even/odd, and also the choice of field with big numbers 1-18/19-36. Special sectors of zero and double zero can't be in combination. When they fall out player loses. The coefficient of payouts is one to one.

Alongside with traditional rules, some casinos have additional function called Surrender. Principle of its work is borrowed from French roulette. Player, who placed bets on luck, gets 50% payout when two zero sectors fall out on roulette table with wheel. Don't forget that this rule works only in some casinos. When you are planning your game, you should specify the rules with croupier.
