Each player plays with their own color chips. When the new session starts you can put your
chips down where you want to bet, and you don't really have to be in a hurry. Most roulette sessions move at a fairly slow pace, to accommodate the number of
people betting, and the variety on which they can bet. Just sit back and let the ball fall where
it may. Split bet - you
can place a single bet on two individual numbers if those numbers are beside
each other on the table layout. Fiver number bet - there
is only one five number bet available. 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. 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.
Roulette is the game where you guess where the little marble is going to drop
on the spinning wheel. The house edge is the same whether you
make one bet per spin or several. you will likely lose money faster the more
bets you make, because you're betting more. In most games players can continue
making bets even while the ball is still spinning. Then he'll scoop up all the losing bets towards the dealer area. 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. 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. If you're asked Inside or Outside, always answer "Both",
even if you only intend to bet one or the other. That way, you're not locked in
and you always have the ability to change your mind. Roulette chips can in fact be any denomination - $1, $5,
$25, etc. When you buy in, tell the dealer what denomination you want. Inside bets can
usually be as small a you like, as long as the total of all your inside bets is
the table minimum. Your odds of winning a
one-number bet are 37 to 1 (37 ways to lose, 1 way to win) The difference
between the true odds and what they actually pay you is 2/38, or 5.26%. The
last time we checked, Single 0 Roulette was available at the Stratosphere and
the Monte Carlo on the Vegas Strip. On even money bets when 0 comes up, instead of losing right
away, your bet is "imprisoned" and rides again for the next spin. In effect, this variation has the ability to turn a loss into a tie.
