Each roulette table moves in
sessions, each session is associated with a spin of the wheel and that spin's
result. All of your chips of the same
color are worth the same amount. There aren't many specific things that can be
considered roulette rules at the table, but here's one you shouldn't forget. After the ball has started spinning, the dealer will wave his hands across the
table and say 'no more bets'. Just sit back and let the ball fall where
it may. There are no winning outside bets for 0 or 00 results. 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. There
are the different types of outside bets. 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.
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. The house edge is the same whether you
make one bet per spin or several. That way if
two players bet on the same number (or set of numbers), then the dealer knows
who to pay, and arguments can't arise over who bet what. 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. If you're asked Inside or Outside, always answer "Both",
even if you only intend to bet one or the other. Minimum bets work differently for inside and outside bets. In this way, Roulette is more like slots - one single bet can
win a lot. 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. The wheel has no memory. You can certainly switch to
another number if you want, but that won't improve or worsen your chances. 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. 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) The
last time we checked, Single 0 Roulette was available at the Stratosphere and
the Monte Carlo on the Vegas Strip. 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. If
you win the second spin, your bet is "released from prison" and you
get it back.
