Roulette is French and means small wheel. Nowadays, the reels are quite large and beautifully decorated, and if you play roulette online, many gaming companies offer a live stream of a real reel spinning. The wheel is divided into numbered sections, in European or French roulette from 0 to 36 and in American roulette you will also find a double zero. The fields are colored either black or red, with the exception of zero, which is green. The numbers are not in numerical order but are arranged according to one and the same pattern wherever you play in the whole world. The American roulette tables have a green field on each side of the wheel, while the French / European wheel only has a green field with a zero in. From 1-10 and 19-28 the odd numbers are red and even numbers are black while from 11-18 and 29 to 36 the odd numbers are black and even red. The roulette wheel is designed to generate a completely random result and it should not be possible to cheat or calculate results in roulette. As the game offers many different opportunities to bet your money, however, there are some strategies you can take before you start playing.
There are several ways to bet in roulette and you divide the bets into inside and outside bets. The categories have got their names based on what the green carpet looks like, the so-called layout. In the middle of the layout you can see the numbers from 0 to 36 and around these there are another six squares and a row at the bottom with 3-6 fields. This is standard for mainly European or French roulette and what distinguishes an American layout is an extra double zero to play on. The double zero gives the house a higher chance of keeping their money. To place an inside bet, simply place your bet on one or more numbers that you want to bet on. You can play inside bets like singles, split, street, corner, trio or other combinations of numbers that are close to each other on the layout.Since roulette is one of the oldest casino games, over the years, attempts have been made to devise numerous ways to maximize their chances of winning. With various mathematical formulas, probability theory and even mechanical calculations around the design of the roulette wheel, many attempts have been made to outwit the casino. In fact, roulette is a randomly generated turn game, designed for the house to make a profit.
However, this does not mean that you as a player do not have good chances to win as roulette is a generous game with many different ways to bet. An experienced player knows that many small streams are better than a big stream - that is, in roulette it is the woods that win and you will in the long run have more chances of going off the table with extra money in your pocket if you play in low field fields odds. Betting on even / uneven numbers or if the ball ends in red or black only returns double the bet, but through several repeated wins you will soon come up in large sums. As with all other casino games, you have to stop playing on time. It may be good to decide in advance what sums you can spend or, if you have the luck on your side, when you should settle and leave the table.
