| The Game
of Casino Roulette |
Playing roulette is as simple as deciding how much you want to
be and putting that bet on the table. With one bet you can pick just
one number or with a single chip cover as much as 18 different numbers.
There are a total of eight different bets available on a roulette
table. Each type of bet has a different pay off rate and covers different
amounts of numbers.
There are two main varieties of roulette. These are single zero roulette,
often called European Roulette and double zero roulette commonly called
American roulette. Due to the fact that the European version has one
less number on the wheel it is statistically a better bet.
The short lines of three numbers each are called rows on the board,
while the longer lines, each holding twelve, are called columns. The
first five types of bets are all made on the numbered space or on
the lines between them and are called inside bets, while the last
three types are made on the special boxes below and to the left of the
board and are called outside bets.
After your bets have been places the wheel spins and the ball will
eventually come to a stop in one of the numbered slots. Then depending
on your bets you will either win or lose. Below are the various bet
categories.
