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. 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. 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'. Now lets take a look at each of the individual bets you can make. There are no winning outside bets for 0 or 00 results. When you place an outside
bet your bet must meet the table minimum. Columns - at one end of the set of 38 numbers are
boxes with the words '2 to 1' written in them.
Roulette is the game where you guess where the little marble is going to drop
on the spinning wheel. 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. 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. In most games players can continue
making bets even while the ball is still spinning. When the ball falls into a slot, the dealer will announce the
number and the color, and place a marker on the layout where the winning number
is. Then he'll scoop up all the losing bets towards the dealer area. 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. There's no advantage to
limiting yourself to inside or outside. When you buy in, tell the dealer what denomination you want. In this way, Roulette is more like slots - one single bet can
win a lot. 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. 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 wheel has no memory. Your odds of winning a
one-number bet are 37 to 1 (37 ways to lose, 1 way to win) The
last time we checked, Single 0 Roulette was available at the Stratosphere and
the Monte Carlo on the Vegas Strip. 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.
