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. All of your chips of the same
color are worth the same amount. At this point, as you intuition may have mentioned
to you, you can't place any more bets. Just sit back and let the ball fall where
it may. On inside bets, the total of all
of your bets must add up to at least the table minimum. Street bet - this is a bet not unlike a split.
It allows you to bet on three different numbers with the same bet. This is different than inside bets,
where the total of all of your inside bets 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 is the game where you guess where the little marble is going to drop
on the spinning wheel. 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. The house edge is the same whether you
make one bet per spin or several. When the ball is getting
ready to drop, the dealer will wave his hand over the table, which means "No
more bets". " 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) 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. Remember that
you can bet inside or outside if you like; there's no requirement to bet both on
a given spin. 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. If Black has
come up for the last 10 spins in a row, the next spin is not more likely to be
Red. Black and Red still have equal chances of hitting. On an American wheel,
there are 38 spots - numbers 1-36, plus 0 and 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. 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. On even money bets when 0 comes up, instead of losing right
away, your bet is "imprisoned" and rides again for the next spin. You don't get paid for the win, though, but it's better than losing
it outright.
