Roulette is a casino game played at a table that features 38 numbers, 2 colors, and a roulette wheel ♠ that has all of the same numbers and colors on it. At the beginning of the game, players place bets ♠ on the different spaces on the table. Every table has a minimum bet, likeR$10, but players can bet more than ♠ that and bet on multiple spaces if they’d like. Players are trying to bet on which number they think the ♠ ball will land on when it’s dropped into the spinning roulette wheel. Players can also bet on which color, red ♠ or black, the ball will land on. Placing a chip directly on a number has a payout of 35 to ♠ 1. Placing a chip on one of the color spaces has a payout of 1 to 1. Players can also ♠ split their bet by placing a chip on the line between 2 numbers. If the ball lands on either of ♠ those numbers, the payout is 17 to 1. Similarly, players can place a chip on the outside border of a ♠ row of 3 numbers. If the ball lands on any of those 3 numbers, the payout is 11:1. Players can ♠ also place a chip at the intersection of 4 numbers. If any of those 4 numbers come in, the payout ♠ is 8 to 1. Besides the number and color spaces, there are other spaces on the table that readers can ♠ bet on. They can place a bet on the “First Row,” “Second Row,” and “Third Row” spaces. If a number ♠ in the corresponding row comes in, the payout is 2:1. Similarly, players can bet on the “First Dozen,” “Second Dozen,” ♠ and “Third Dozen” spaces. If one of the 12 numbers that correspond with the space comes in, the payout is ♠ 2:1. Players can also bet on whether they think the ball will land on an odd or even number. If ♠ they’re right, the payout is 1 to 1. Finally, players can bet on the “1 to 18” and “19 to ♠ 36” spaces. If the ball lands on a number within that range, the payout is 1 to 1. As players ♠ are placing their bets, the dealer will spin the roulette wheel and drop the ball into it. Players can continue ♠ betting until the dealer waves their hand and says “No more bets.” Once the ball lands on a number, the ♠ dealer will pay out anyone who bet on that number or color. Then, a new round of betting starts, and ♠ the game repeats. If you want to learn how to calculate your odds of winning roulette, keep reading the article!
