Learn How To Play Roulette

(134 gamblers voted)

Perhaps the most famous game in the world of gambling is roulette. In online casinos, as in real gaming rooms, roulette is present in three main options - European, American and French. The principle of the game is tied to randomness and has nothing to do with player skills. All results are determined randomly. The sequence of the roulette gameplay is as follows - the dealer takes bets, spins the roulette wheel and throws a ball at it. As soon as the ball completes the movement, it falls into one of the cells (pocket) with a number - this is the winning number.

In an online casino, everything is a little different. There is no dealer here, there is software with a programmed algorithm that randomly issues numbers. In order for the game of roulette to resemble the real counterpart - the software looks like a game, with the field and the roulette itself. You make all bets by pointing the mouse cursor to the corresponding sector on the playing field, then click on the Spin \ Start button (depends on the game). Get the end result randomly generated by the software engine. If the result matches your bet, you win. Everything is very simple.

European And American Roulette Wheel

The main difference between European / French and American roulette is the presence of the double zero in the last. So, the numbers on American roulette begin from 00, 0 to 36 (numbers are divided into black and red sectors, and both zero sectors are green). Adding more numbers to the roulette wheel reduces the chances of a player to win. That is why most websites and players recommend the European roulette game.

Types of Bets Available In European and American Roulettes

Now let's move on to the bets. As described above, a bet is made by clicking on the corresponding sector of the playing field, but let's look in more detail at all the options for possible bets (from a lower payout ratio to a larger one):

You can bet on Even / Odd. The coefficient of this bet is paid 1 to 1.
Bet on red or black. Red numbers 1-18, black numbers 19-36. If the color of the number corresponds to your bet – it is paid 1 to 1.
The first half and the second half. You bet on the first half of the field or the second. If a number will be from that half of the field on which a bet was made, the player wins 1 to 1.
Dozens and Colons. You can bet on one of the columns (there are three in total) or bet on one of three available dozens. This bet is paid 2 to 1.
In standard roulette (both in online and in real) a bet on six numbers is permissible. Such a bet is carried out by placing game chips on a line between two rows of numbers. This rate is paid 5 to 1.
Bet on five numbers. This bet can only be made in the American version of roulette. This is a bet on both zero and numbers 1,2,3. This rate is paid 6 to 1.
A bet on four numbers. This bet is paid 8 to 1.
Bet on three numbers. This bet is made on several numbers and paid in the amount of 11 to 1.
A bet on two is made by placing chips on a line between two numbers, respectively. This bet is paid with a coefficient of 17 to 1.
Straight-Up. You simply set the chip on the number you want, and if you win, the casino pays you a coefficient of 35 to 1.

Live Roulette Version

In addition to playing roulette in real and online casinos, there is a third type of game, something in the middle between the first two. This is a live roulette game with real people. The rules of such a game are the same as in standard roulette, but in addition to the program interface, you’ll see a live broadcast of the game in roulette with a live dealer. You can interact and communicate with him in every possible way. This type of game is available to players only after registration in the online casino. The main advantage of playing live roulette is the opportunity to experience the same excitement as in a real casino with the classic rules of roulette.

Conclusion

The game of roulette is simple and do not requires any skills, that is why it perfectly suits to novice players. But if you are looking for a gambling game in which the skill of the player decides everything - you need to play baccarat, poker or blackjack.
