Players bet on numbers, spreads of number combinations and colors, generated by the fall of a small ivory ball onto a spinning wheel which is divided into 37 or 38 numbered slots, depending on the version being played. By the skillful placing of bets on the table, a player can vary the amount of risk he is taking. Street Bet - A bet that covers a row of three numbers on the table. Pays 11:1. Six Number Bet - Covers two rows of three numbers each. All even moneyodds. Pays 1:1. A double-end table with two layouts is operated by either three or four croupiers. To keep it simple, we'll call him the "dealer" and his assistant the "croupier". The players begin by making their bets, placing chips on the spaces of the layout in the manner permitted by the applicable rules for the area/state/country etc. ". The numbers alternate pairs of odd numbers with pairs of even numbers. That aside, French roulette is very similar to American roulette. The numbers alternate between black and red. Both the 0 and 00 slots are green in color. Roulette is the game where you guess where the little marble is going to dropon the spinning wheel. Making a bet is easy - you just place your chip(s) on the number(s), color, orsets you want to bet on. Here are thedifferent bets you can make. You don't have to make just one kind of bet foreach spin, you can make several, and you win if the ball lands on any of yournumbers. In most games players can continuemaking bets even while the ball is still spinning. Each player's chips are a different color. Sometimes the dealerwill ask you "Inside or Outside? If you're asked Inside or Outside, always answer "Both",even if you only intend to bet one or the other. That way, you're not locked inand you always have the ability to change your mind. There's no advantage tolimiting yourself to inside or outside. Roulette games have minimum bets, which will be posted on aplacard at the table. Minimum bets work differently for inside and outside bets. Inside bets canusually be as small a you like, as long as the total of all your inside bets isthe table minimum. Now let's sayyou've been playing Roulette for a few hours, betting on Red every time, andyou've been keeping track of what numbers have hit. The Europeanwheel has a lower house edge (2.63%) because it has only 37 slots instead of 38(no 00) Ifyou win the second spin, your bet is "released from prison" and youget it back. You don't get paid for the win, though, but it's better than losingit outright. One to six players are seated at the roulette table. The chips generally have a set value of 25 or 50 cents. In roulette betting, a player may request whatever value he wishes for his chips, above the 25 cent or 50 cent standard amount. This area is referred to as the "inside" betting area. If that number wins you'll receive 35 to 1 for every chip you have bet. Red or black pays even odds. As mentioned. The dealer knows you are the winner by the color of your chips. Again, your original bet is left on the number or combination of numbers and it is up to you to reclaim that bet. As the wheel turns, the ball loses momentum. That number is the declared winner for that game. The single-0 European roulette wheel has a house edge of only 2.70%.
