Roullete
(pronounced: roll-oh) is a casino game that has offered glamour, mystery, and excitement to players since the 17th century. It’s easy for beginners to learn, but it also offers a surprising level of depth for serious betters.
The game’s centerpiece is a revolving disk, called a roulette wheel, with 37 or 38 compartments numbered nonconsecutively from 1 to 36, plus a green zero on European wheels and two red ones on American wheels. A croupier spins the wheel, and a small ball comes to rest in one of the compartments, showing that number and its characteristics, such as whether it is odd or even, red or black, high or low.
When you win, the dealer clears the losing chips from the table and pays winners before beginning a new round. If you wish to bet on the next spin, place your chips in the appropriate slots. Some players try to beat the game by watching other players, hoping to pick up clues that others may have a secret strategy. But this is unlikely to improve your odds more than coincidence.
To avoid disappointment, set a budget before you hit the tables, and stick to it. Each table carries a placard that describes the minimum and maximum bets allowed. It is advisable to start by wagering on “outside” bets, which are cheaper and offer higher chances of winning.
