How to Play Roulette
The rules are fairly simple when learning how to play roulette. In traditional roulette and online roulette up to eight players do battle against the House, which is represented by the croupier. The croupier, or the dealer, spins the roulette wheel and takes the bets. In European roulette the wheel has 37 numbered slots while in the USA most roulette wheels have 38 slots. Each player buys chips with a different colour.
How to win in roulette? The player needs to guess where the ball will land after each spin. Luck plays a very big part and some players tend to go with the winning or "hot" numbers. If you really want to learn how to play roulette, bear in mind that some gamblers bet on several numbers to increase their chances of winning, but the payout is then reduced.
To play a roulette game you place a bet or bets on numbers in the table layout or on the outside. When all the players have placed their wagers, the croupier spins the wheel and launches the ball. Before the ball drops over the slots, the croupier announces "no more bets". After he places the "dolly" on the winning number on the table and clears away the losing bets you can then start betting on the next game while the croupier pays the winners.
Roulette rules state the winning bets are those on or around the number that comes up. The bets on the outside of the layout also win if the winning number is represented.
A bet on one number is a straight-up bet and pays 35 to 1. A two-number bet, called a split, pays 17 to 1 and so on. When a player finishes, he take the chips to the cash desk and exchanges them for money.
