The objective in Double Ball Roulette is to predict the number or numbers on which two balls will come to rest. The wheel includes the numbers 1–36 plus a single 0 (zero).
After the time allotted for betting has expired, two balls are released by a device. The balls travel in the same direction and at the same speed, but one always trails the other. Each ball eventually comes to rest in a numbered pocket within the wheel. The balls may land in the same or in different pockets.
You can place many different kinds of bets on the Double Ball Roulette table. Each type of bet covers a certain range of numbers and has its own payout odds.
Bets placed on a numbered space or on a line between them are called INSIDE BETS. You win on your inside bet when at least one ball lands on a number that satisfies the bet. You win double if both balls land on numbers that satisfy the inside bet.
Bets placed in the special boxes below and to the left of the table are called OUTSIDE BETS. You win on your outside bet when both balls land on numbers that satisfy the bet.

While Double Ball Roulette offers a unique twist on the classic game of roulette with the excitement of two balls, it can also lead to frustration for players. The complexity of the betting options and the nature of the game can make it challenging to achieve consistent wins. Many players may find themselves better off playing standard European Roulette or French Roulette, which offer simpler betting options and a more straightforward gameplay experience. Ultimately, if you're looking for a more reliable and less frustrating gaming experience, consider sticking to these traditional roulette variants.
