ROULETTE

Roulette is a gambling game played in casinos where the object of the player is to correctly predict the winning number or one of its qualities by placing chips on the table. The game consists of a roulette with a ball and 37 numbers and a panel arranged in a layout that is divided into a number field and a side field. The number field is composed of numbers 0 through 36 and the side field consist of qualities assigned to these numbers: Red or Black, High or Low, Odd or Even and/or its location within the layout: Dozens and Columns.

The game is managed by a croupier who is in charge of selling the chips and spinning the roulette. Each player is assigned a color of chips in order to avoid confusion with other players. Each table will determine its minimum and maximum bet and it is usually up to the player to decide how much their betting.

How the game works: The players will place their chips in the boxes within the layout, they can place as many chips per round as they want within the betting limits of that particular table. Bets can be placed until the Croupier calls out “No more bets”. At that point the croupier will spin the roulette and throw the ball in, it will spin until it stops and the ball will indicate a number from 0 to 36. The Croupier will clearly state the winning number and will mark it with a marker on the table. Then he will remove all losing bets and pay the winning bets.

The winning odds are: One number also called “Plein” has odds of 30:1. Two number 15:1, this is called “cheval”. Three numbers is called a “transversal” bet and has odds of 10:1. A “carré” bet is on four numbers and has odd of 7:1. A “simple” is a bet on six numbers with 4:1 odds. A bet on a “dozen” numbers has odd of 2:1 as well as a bet on an entire “column”. You can also make bets that have 1:1 odds on even or odd numbers, red or black numbers and 1-18 or 19-36 numbers, all these bets lose if the ball were to fall on 0.
