At this point the
dealer will say 'place your bets' and everyone at the table will start throwing
chips down like crazy. Each player plays with their own color chips. Most roulette sessions move at a fairly slow pace, to accommodate the number of
people betting, and the variety on which they can bet. There aren't many specific things that can be
considered roulette rules at the table, but here's one you shouldn't forget. Now lets take a look at each of the individual bets you can make. Street bet - this is a bet not unlike a split.
It allows you to bet on three different numbers with the same bet. Corner bet -
lets you bet on four adjoining numbers. Placing your chips at the point where
four numbers meet will indicate you want a corner bet. Red or Black - you can choose to bet on
the outcome either being a red number, or a black number. Odd or Even - similar
to the red black bet, this even money bet is based on whether the resulting
number will be odd or even.
Roulette is the game where you guess where the little marble is going to drop
on the spinning wheel. now, let's see how to play roulette. Making a bet is easy - you just place your chip(s) on the number(s), color, or
sets you want to bet on. We've added blue circled letters to the diagram to point out
how to make the not-so-obvious bets (the sets of 2-6 numbers) 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. " when you're buying chips, to find
out 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 of
numbers) If you're asked Inside or Outside, always answer "Both",
even if you only intend to bet one or the other. In other games the color of the chip
denotes the denomination, but in Roulette the color denotes only which player
the chip belongs to. For outside bets, any bet you make has to be the table minimum. Remember that
you can bet inside or outside if you like; there's no requirement to bet both on
a given spin. 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) In this way, Roulette is more like slots - one single bet can
win a lot. It's important to
understand that the outcome of the roulette wheel is truly random. Black and Red still have equal chances of hitting. On an American wheel,
there are 38 spots - numbers 1-36, plus 0 and 00. Atlantic City has a special rule which
reduces the house edge to 2.7% on even money bets (Red/Black, Odd/Even,
1-18/19-36): If 0 or 00 comes up on on even money bet, you lose only half your
bet. You don't get paid for the win, though, but it's better than losing
it outright.
