A clever player is one who understands the betting possibilities. Six Number Bet - Covers two rows of three numbers each. A bet placed on the ball landing on red or black, high or low numbers, odds or even numbers. All even moneyodds. Pays 1:1. Dozens Bet - The numbers between 1 and 36 are divided into three dozens. A roulette table with a single layout is usually worked by two "croupiers". A double-end table with two layouts is operated by either three or four croupiers. The croupier who spins the wheel and deals the game is called the "wheel roller" by casino employees. The dealer spins the wheel in a counterclockwise direction then flips the ball on the bowl's back track so that it travels clockwise. Bets placed on the layout after this announcement are not valid and must be returned to the player(s) A dealer (known as a croupier) spins the wheel in one direction and then rolls a small ball in the other direction. The French roulette wheel has 36 numbers, and only the single zero, unlike the American roulette wheel which has the numbers 1 to 36 but with two zeros (0 and 00) The numbers on the roulette wheel alternate pairs of odd numbers with pairs of even numbers. Making a bet is easy - you just place your chip(s) on the number(s), color, orsets you want to bet on. We've added blue circled letters to the diagram to point outhow to make the not-so-obvious bets (the sets of 2-6 numbers) Here are thedifferent bets you can make. When the ball falls into a slot, the dealer will announce thenumber and the color, and place a marker on the layout where the winning numberis. Then he'll scoop up all the losing bets towards the dealer area. Don't reach for your winnings until the dealerremoves the marker, or the dealer will scold you. Each player's chips are a different color. " when you're buying chips, to findout whether you're making inside bets (the ones listed in purple in the table,on specific numbers) or outside bets (the ones listed in yellow, on kinds ofnumbers) That's because if you're betting only inside and someone else isbetting only outside, he can give you both the same color chips and there won'tbe any confusion. In other games the color of the chipdenotes the denomination, but in Roulette the color denotes only which playerthe chip belongs to. In this way, Roulette is more like slots - one single bet canwin a lot. It's important tounderstand that the outcome of the roulette wheel is truly random. There have been 152 spins (coincidentally,4 x 38), and so we expect that each number should have come up 4 times onaverage. The wheel has no memory. The Europeanwheel has a lower house edge (2.63%) because it has only 37 slots instead of 38(no 00) On even money bets when 0 comes up, instead of losing rightaway, your bet is "imprisoned" and rides again for the next spin. Ifyou win the second spin, your bet is "released from prison" and youget it back. It is important to note that these roulette chips must be cashed in at the table. A bet on 1 to 18, or 19 to 36, pays even money. It is up to you to pick up both your winnings and your original bet after the payoff. All inside bets are paid by the dealer, directly to you. As mentioned. Naturally, you can let it ride again on the next roll or even add other chips from your winnings. As the wheel turns, the ball loses momentum. That number is the declared winner for that game. Incidentally, there are about 90 spins or games played per hour, on average. You will notice on our illustration of the standard roulette wheel that the numbers are not consecutively arranged around the wheel. The house edge is set at 5.26%, resulting from the player receiving odds of 35 to 1 rather than the true odds of 1 in 36 or 37 to 1. The single-0 European roulette wheel has a house edge of only 2.70%.
