Roulette

Roulette is a straightforward game that can be learned without too much difficulty. Playing it in its basic form is quite simple - you are betting that a number(s) or a combination of numbers will come up on the next spin of the wheel. Because some wagers are more difficult to win than others, the various wagers have different payoffs. One of roulette's biggest attractions is its high payoff for winning a bet on a single number - 35 to 1. If you wager 17 and it shows on the next spin, your wager will be paid off at 35 to 1 odds.

Roulette is the queen of all gambling games. We thrill to the spin and a chance of winning a small fortune with each turn of the wheel. With a practiced flick of the wrist, the skilled croupier sets in motion the spinning wheel and clicking ivory ball. In a swirl of red and black our bet's fate is decided – sometimes we win and sometimes we lose – yet we still continue to bet on the alluring spinning wheel.

There are two types of roulette wheels. American double-zero wheel and the European single-zero wheel. The casino has an edge of 5.26 percent on the double zero wheel and an edge of 2.70 on the single-zero wheel.

The players will be given a certain amount of time to place as few or as many bets as they desire. The dealer will then spin the ball. At a certain moment the dealer will announce: “No more bets” at which time no more bets may be placed. As the ball finishes its spin and descends into the pockets, the dealer will announce the winning number and its color. He will put a special marker on the winning number. The dealer will collect all the losing bets and then pay off all the winning bets. The dealer will then remove the marker and the procedure begins over again.
