Each player plays with their own color chips. 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. After the ball has started spinning, the dealer will wave his hands across the
table and say 'no more bets'. Now lets take a look at each of the individual bets you can make. 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. Straight-up bet - this
is the classic roulette bet. Choose any one of the 38 numbers and put your
chips down on that number for the chance to win back at 35 to 1. Fiver number bet - there
is only one five number bet available. When you place an outside
bet your bet 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. 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. Each player's chips are a different color. " 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) Roulette chips can in fact be any denomination - $1, $5,
$25, etc. Minimum bets work differently for inside and outside bets. All the bets on the layout carry the same house edge, with the exception
of 5-number Line Bet (0, 00, 1, 2, 3), which carries a whopping 7.29% edge! 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. " That means it doesn't know what it spun
before, and even if it did, the wheel can't select what number comes up out of
its own volition. Here's another example: Since there are 38 slots on the wheel,
we expect any given number to hit 1 out of 38 spins on average. The wheel has no memory. 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. In effect, this variation has the ability to turn a loss into a tie.
