Roullete is a classic casino game, found at most casinos and other gambling establishments that offer table games. The game involves the spinning of a wheel that contains colored numbers and numbered pockets. A ball is thrown onto the wheel while it’s in motion and the number that the ball land in determines if you win. The player can choose to bet on a specific number, various groupings of numbers, red or black, odds or even, high or low and many other combinations. Players place their chips on a betting mat and the croupier then throws the ball into the spinning wheel.
The Roulette wheel consists of a solid, convex disk with 37 separate compartments or numbered pockets that alternate between red and black. There is also a single green pocket marked 0 on European wheels and an extra green zero on American ones. The wheel spins and the ball travels around it in a seemingly random pattern until it comes to rest on one of the numbers or pockets.
When a winning bet is made, the player informs the croupier who then removes the bet and re-bets the chip amounts on the table. The dealer then marks the amount won on the bet marker and parcels out the winning chips to the player. The bet markers are located on a circular betting mat with specific wording that indicates which type of bet is being placed. Bets on specific numbers are called Inside bets and other bets on positional groups of pockets, colors or odds/evens are known as Outside bets.
Roulette is a very fast paced game and players are often excited to get the ball rolling as it spins and bounces around the table. The fact that there are so many bets and different chances of winning make it a popular casino game for all ages and skill levels. However, it’s important to remember that a successful bet is not always guaranteed and that your luck can change at any time.
