If you haven't read up on the rest of the site I'll
quickly go over the different colors of chips and how they relate to the rest of
the roulette rules. Each player plays with their own color chips. There aren't many specific things that can be
considered roulette rules at the table, but here's one you shouldn't forget. At this point, as you intuition may have mentioned
to you, you can't place any more bets. The
inside bets are made up of specific numbers or combinations of numbers within
the number layout, or along the border of it. On inside bets, the total of all
of your bets must add up to at least the table minimum. Split bet - you
can place a single bet on two individual numbers if those numbers are beside
each other on the table layout. The outside bets on a roulette board are
simply the bets that reside 'outside' of the main playing area of 38 numbers. Low or High - this bet lets you predict whether you
think the next number to come up will be part of the range from 1 to 18, or part
of the range from 19 to 36.
Roulette is the game where you guess where the little marble is going to drop
on the spinning wheel. Roulette would be a great game were it not for the high
house edge - usually 5.26%, sometimes as low as 2.63%, which is still higher
than blackjack, craps, or baccarat. You don't have to make just one kind of bet for
each spin, you can make several, and you win if the ball lands on any of your
numbers. When the ball is getting
ready to drop, the dealer will wave his hand over the table, which means "No
more bets". New players often have to be
told this repeatedly the first time they play because they kept forgetting and
because they're excited about collecting their winnings. Sometimes the dealer
will ask you "Inside or Outside? That's because if you're betting only inside and someone else is
betting only outside, he can give you both the same color chips and there won't
be any confusion. That way, you're not locked in
and you always have the ability to change your mind. For outside bets, any bet you make has to be the table minimum. Inside bets can
usually be as small a you like, as long as the total of all your inside bets is
the table minimum. It most other games a bet usually wins only even money, but
Roulette gives you the chance to win 35 times your bet (a winning bet placed on
a single number) Black and Red still have equal chances of hitting. Your odds of winning a
one-number bet are 37 to 1 (37 ways to lose, 1 way to win) if you win, the
casino doesn't pay you 37 to 1, they pay you less - 35 to 1. The difference
between the true odds and what they actually pay you is 2/38, or 5.26%. The
last time we checked, Single 0 Roulette was available at the Stratosphere and
the Monte Carlo on the Vegas Strip. If
you win the second spin, your bet is "released from prison" and you
get it back.
