Roullete, also known as roulette, is a gambling game in which players place bets on the outcome of a spin of a wheel. It is a highly entertaining game that can offer serious betters a good chance of winning real money.
The game involves dropping a ball on a revolving wheel with numbered pockets. The ball spins around the wheel until it lands in a pocket that contains a number, and then the croupier announces the outcome of the bet.
There are many different types of bets on a roulette table, but the most common include inside bets, outside bets and specialty bets. The inside bets involve betting on a particular group of numbers and the color red or black, while outside bets are less specific.
Street Bet/Three Number Bet/Side Bet: This is a simple bet that is made by placing your chip(s) on the edge of a row of three consecutive numbers. The payout is 17-1 if the chosen number wins, and 11-1 if it loses.
Split Bet/Cheval: This bet is made by straddling the line between two adjacent numbers on the layout. The payoff is 17-1, and if it wins you’ll be treated to a nice meal at the end of the night.
Despite being the most popular game in the casino, roulette is actually quite a complex game. In order to play, you’ll need to familiarize yourself with the rules of the game, the odds and the betting limits.
The wheel:
The wheel in a roulette game consists of a wooden disk that is slightly convex in shape. Its rim features metal partitions called canoes that contain the numbers and pockets that the ball will land in. The wheel can spin either clockwise or counter-clockwise, and it consists of a spindle that is balanced to prevent the wheel from spinning too fast and tipping over.
