A session ends when the ball lands where it may, and the dealers clear
the board of losing bets (and pay winning ones of course) 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. Just sit back and let the ball fall where
it may. 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. There are no winning outside bets for 0 or 00 results. 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. Red or Black - you can choose to bet on
the outcome either being a red number, or a black number.
For most bets it's fairly obvious - you can't miss the
Red diamond for Red bets, and things like Even, 1-18, and 1st 12 are written out
in plain English. Here are the
different bets you can make. In most games players can continue
making bets even while the ball is still spinning. When the ball is getting
ready to drop, the dealer will wave his hand over the table, which means "No
more bets". Don't reach for your winnings until the dealer
removes the marker, or the dealer will scold you. Each player's chips are a different color. 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 way, you're not locked in
and you always have the ability to change your mind. 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 games have minimum bets, which will be posted on a
placard at the table. 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) There's an old saying,
"The wheel has no memory. 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. 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. if you win, the
casino doesn't pay you 37 to 1, they pay you less - 35 to 1. If
you win the second spin, your bet is "released from prison" and you
get it back.
