Roullete is a casino game in which players place bets on the outcome of a spinning wheel. Bets may be placed on a single number, various groupings of numbers, the colors red and black, whether a number is odd or even, or if the numbers are high (19-36) or low (1-18). The game has enjoyed considerable popularity in casinos worldwide since the 17th century.
The game’s rules are simple and the betting structure straightforward. However, roulette offers a surprising level of depth for serious betters, and the correct strategy can reap high rewards.
Roulette is played on a table (also called a layout) with a circular wheel, 37 compartments painted alternately red and black, and a green zero. A croupier, or croupiers, spins the wheel and places a small ball into one of the thirty-six colored slots. When the wheel stops spinning, the croupiers clear off losing bets and pay winners, and the game begins again.
Before you start betting, determine a budget for your bets and choose a table that suits your budget. When you start winning, cash out your chips as quickly as possible to prevent losing more than you have won. Do not use any of your winnings to place future bets; doing so will only reduce your average return.
