Each player plays with their own color chips. All of your chips of the same
color are worth the same amount. 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. Fiver number bet - there
is only one five number bet available. When you place an outside
bet your bet must meet the table minimum. This is different than inside bets,
where the total of all of your inside bets must meet the table minimum. Dozens - a bet very similar to
the columns bet, dozens lets you place a bet on either the first dozen numbers
(1-12), the second dozen (13-24), or the third dozen (25-36)
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. 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. 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. you will likely lose money faster the more
bets you make, because you're betting more. 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. Roulette chips can in fact be any denomination - $1, $5,
$25, etc. When you buy in, tell the dealer what denomination you want. Minimum bets work differently for inside and outside bets. It's important to
understand that the outcome of the roulette wheel is truly random. 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%. The European
wheel has a lower house edge (2.63%) because it has only 37 slots instead of 38
(no 00) If you play Roulette, the most important thing is to find a casino that
offers the European wheel (which is called "Single 0" Roulette) 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. If
you win the second spin, your bet is "released from prison" and you
get it back.
