How to Play Roulette in Different Clips

Casino When you think of gambling, what do you think of first? I think of the Roulette wheels at Monte Carlo. How many movies have been made showing beautiful people placing bets on the layout and watching the wheel turn?
Roulette is really a very easy game to play in Casino. It requires very little skill, a little bit of knowledge of the betting options that are available to you, and special Roulette chips.

The Wheel Of Roulette

The wheel itself is a very carefully made, very delicately balanced wheel which is divided into thirty-eight even compartments, or pockets. Thirty-six of these pockets are numbered individually from one to thirty-six and are colored either red or black. There is eighteen of each color. The remaining two pockets are colored green and are numbered zero and double zero.

The Layout Of Roulette

To allow you to place bets, the thirty-six numbers marked in their respective colors, in three columns of twelve numbers each. Bets on this area are called inside bets. There is an area outside the thirty eight numbered boxes which allows for betting on odd (all the odd numbers), even (all the even numbers), red or black (all the red, or all the black numbers). There is also an area for betting on the first, the second, or the third set of twelve numbers (one through twelve, thirteen through twenty-four, or twenty-five through thirty-six); the first or second set of eighteen numbers (one through eighteen, or nineteen through thirty-six); and even an area for betting on complete columns. Bets on these areas are called outside bets.

Terms Of Roulette

Did you happen to notice that in describing the betting and the payoffs I mentioned the layout, and outside the layout? Any bets made on the zero, the double zero, and the numbers from one to thirty-six, or any of their various combinations are referred to as inside bets. Any bets made on the areas that are outside of the layout are referred to as outside bets. These terms are important to the novice, or small player. A Roulette table that requires a five-unit minimum bet will allow five separate bets of one unit each on any of the inside variations, but will require a full five-unit bet on any of the outside variations. The signs on the tables indicating minimum and maximum bets will stipulate this rule.

Roulette, Bets and Odds

Unlike other games in online casino, Roulette odds are very simple and direct. To win on one whole number (straight bet), the odds are one in thirty-six or thirty-five to one-that's the payoff. A two-number bet (split bet) carries odds of two in thirty-six, or seventeen to one-and that's the payoff. Similarly, a bet made on three numbers (street bet) pays eleven to one, on four numbers (square play bet) the payoff is eight to one, and a bet on six numbers (line play bet) pays five to one.
The bets that are outside the layout, as mentioned previously, also pay in direct relation to the odds that they should appear. Therefore, if anyone of the three columns is bet upon, the odds are one in three, or two to one, that a number will appear, and as such, that is the payoff. Also figured at two to one is the dozens play which allows for the first, the second, or third dozen numbers to payoff at two to one odds. The even money or one to one bets are the first or the second eighteen numbers (low or high), the red or black numbers, and the even or the odd numbers. To see where on the layout these outside bets are placed.
