Object Of The Game
The player's objective is to correctly guess and place wagers on which
number on the wheel the ball will end up on. The player places bets on
the Roulette table and if lucky collects a payoff the size of which is
determined by how he/she bets. The odds range from 35 to 1 down to even
money, depending on the likelihood of picking the correct number.
Playing The Game
Roulette is played at a table that seats from one to six or seven
players. There is the wheel and beside it the betting area known as the
layout. The players make their wagers, the croupier spins the wheel to
obtain the winning number and the players wait to see if they have won
or lost.
This is one game where the player has absolutely
nothing to do with picking the winning number. The spinning of the wheel
and the releasing of the ball are all handled by the croupier, the
player only has to decide on where to place the wager(s). The challenge
in roulette is to bet in such a way as to win.
Betting
There are several ways to bet in roulette, and as usual the harder it is
to obtain the bet made the larger is the payoff.
When you play roulette you have to purchase
special roulette chips, these chips are only used at the roulette table
and must be cashed in for regular chips before leaving the table. The
chips are a unique color for each player, this designates who owns the
chip when it is time to pay off bets. Special chips are used in roulette
because when using the betting area chips are placed in many locations
on the layout and this keeps everyone from getting confused as to who
has bet what. To discourage cheating by players who might be tempted to
move their chips from a losing position to one that payoff players are
to keep their hands away from the table until all winning bets have been
paid off.
In roulette you have numerous betting options,
the different bets are indicated by the placement of the chips on the
table. They are usually grouped into two major categories:
- Inside bets - made on numbers directly inside the layout
- Outside bets - are made on the betting area on the
roulette table bordering the number layout. Different tables have
slightly different layouts for outside betting, you just find the
location for the bet you want to make and place your chip there.
Inside Bets:
The number layout is the part of the table containing squares with the
numbers in them. The squares are laid out 12 rows by 3 columns with the
0 and 00 numbers at one end.
