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. All of your chips of the same
color are worth the same amount. When the new session starts you can put your
chips down where you want to bet, and you don't really have to be in a hurry. If you have a player you
likes to put down twenty different bets each time they play, the sessions are
going to move a little slower. There aren't many specific things that can be
considered roulette rules at the table, but here's one you shouldn't forget. Just sit back and let the ball fall where
it may. Fiver number bet - there
is only one five number bet available. The outside bets on a roulette board are
simply the bets that reside 'outside' of the main playing area of 38 numbers. This is different than inside bets,
where the total of all of your inside bets must meet the table minimum. There
are the different types of outside bets.
Roulette is the game where you guess where the little marble is going to drop
on the spinning wheel. Making a bet is easy - you just place your chip(s) on the number(s), color, or
sets you want to bet on. Then he'll scoop up all the losing bets towards the dealer area. Each player's chips are a different color. 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. In other games the color of the chip
denotes the denomination, but in Roulette the color denotes only which player
the chip belongs to. Roulette chips can in fact be any denomination - $1, $5,
$25, etc. When you buy in, tell the dealer what denomination you want. Here's a
handy way to remember the payouts when you're betting on a set of numbers: Take
36 divided by the quantity of numbers you're betting on, and subtract 1. It's important to
understand that the outcome of the roulette wheel is truly random. If Black has
come up for the last 10 spins in a row, the next spin is not more likely to be
Red. There have been 152 spins (coincidentally,
4 x 38), and so we expect that each number should have come up 4 times on
average. The
chances of #27 coming up on a given spin are the same, whether it just come up
on the last spin or not - 1 in 38. It's more important to know what the house edge is, than how to calculate
it, but here's a quick analysis in case you're interested. The difference
between the true odds and what they actually pay you is 2/38, or 5.26%. European games have an option called en prison which reduces the house edge
to 1.35%, but it's generally not available in the U.S., even in casinos that use
the European wheel. On even money bets when 0 comes up, instead of losing right
away, your bet is "imprisoned" and rides again for the next spin.
