Roulette has long been one of the most beloved casino games and remains one of the most beloved casino experiences both physically and online. Because its addictive qualities can make it hard to quit, setting time and money limits and leaving once those limits have been reached is essential in avoiding major financial loss and regretting your decision later on.
Goal of Roulette: Predict which slot the ball will land when spun by dealer. Players place their chips on specially designated roulette table before dealer rolls a small ball opposite direction from spinning wheel; colored chips indicate value and dealer then marks winning pocket with marker while clearing all losing bets away.
There are different types of bets in roulette, each with their own house edge and payout. It is essential that players understand these odds and payouts before placing any bets, so do some reading up beforehand. Outside bets (betting on groups of numbers) typically have lower odds and higher payouts than inside bets; straight up bets on individual numbers offer the highest odds at 35 to 1. A “street bet,” consisting of three consecutive numbers placed together pays 11-1.
Instead of playing roulette with regular casino chips, you purchase a set of roulette chips from the dealer instead. Each color indicates their value. Once each player decides what bet they would like to place, the dealer asks each one what their preferred bets are before marking each color accordingly so as to prevent cheating or any unfair advantages for themselves or other players.
American Roulette offers a much higher house edge than its European counterpart; however, this does not translate to lower odds of winning. By employing sound strategies and understanding of its rules, even-money bettors can significantly decrease the house edge on even-money bets in European Roulette; particularly as La Partage and En Prison rules further minimize its house edge; many players opt for the European variant instead.
