The Basics of Roulette

Roullete

Roulette is a game of chance played by betting on the numbers that will appear when the ball is dropped into the wheel. It is a popular and exciting casino game that can be found in most casinos.

The rules of the game are simple and straightforward. The dealer (that’s what you call the croupier in the game) throws a ball into the wheel, which spins until it settles into a pocket that marks a number. Then, the winning numbers are paid out and losing bets are removed from the table.

Before the ball is dropped into the wheel, players place chips on a mat that is marked with the numbers they want to bet on. There are many different kinds of bets on the board, and the payout odds vary depending on the specific type of bet.

There are two types of bets: inside and outside. Inside bets are placed on a single number, or groupings of numbers, the color red or black, whether the number is odd or even, or if it’s high (19-36) or low (1-18).

Inside bets have a lower house edge than outside bets. In addition, they have a higher probability of winning.

The Wheel

A roulette wheel has 36 pockets numbered from 1 to 36 and colored alternately red and black. The wheel is a solid wooden disk slightly convex in shape with metal partitions around its edge.

The divisions around the wheel are numbered nonconsecutively from 1 to 36 and painted either red or black, except for a green compartment that carries the sign 0. American wheels have a second extra green pocket numbered 0 as well.

On a European-style roulette wheel, the zero is coloured red and the double zero is black. This color choice was introduced in the late 1790s to avoid confusion between the two, and it was also used to make it easier for croupiers to identify the double zero.

There are several ways to place a bet on the roulette wheel, but each requires different amounts of chips. The most common bet is a line bet, which involves placing a single chip on the outer border of the row of three consecutive numbers. This bet pays 5-1 if the numbers land in order.

Split Bet/Chevalier, Street Bet/Three Number Bet/Side Bet/The Trio: This bet consists of placing a single chip on any of the three rows of numbers on the table map. If any of those three numbers win, you’ll receive a 17-1 payout.
