Roulette is a casino game played at a table that features 38 numbers, 2 colors, and a roulette wheel 1️⃣ that has all of the same numbers and colors on it. At the beginning of the game, players place bets 1️⃣ on the different spaces on the table. Every table has a minimum bet, likeR$10, but players can bet more than 1️⃣ that and bet on multiple spaces if they’d like. Players are trying to bet on which number they think the 1️⃣ ball will land on when it’s dropped into the spinning roulette wheel. Players can also bet on which color, red 1️⃣ or black, the ball will land on. Placing a chip directly on a number has a payout of 35 to 1️⃣ 1. Placing a chip on one of the color spaces has a payout of 1 to 1. Players can also 1️⃣ split their bet by placing a chip on the line between 2 numbers. If the ball lands on either of 1️⃣ those numbers, the payout is 17 to 1. Similarly, players can place a chip on the outside border of a 1️⃣ row of 3 numbers. If the ball lands on any of those 3 numbers, the payout is 11:1. Players can 1️⃣ also place a chip at the intersection of 4 numbers. If any of those 4 numbers come in, the payout 1️⃣ is 8 to 1. Besides the number and color spaces, there are other spaces on the table that readers can 1️⃣ bet on. They can place a bet on the “First Row,” “Second Row,” and “Third Row” spaces. If a number 1️⃣ in the corresponding row comes in, the payout is 2:1. Similarly, players can bet on the “First Dozen,” “Second Dozen,” 1️⃣ and “Third Dozen” spaces. If one of the 12 numbers that correspond with the space comes in, the payout is 1️⃣ 2:1. Players can also bet on whether they think the ball will land on an odd or even number. If 1️⃣ they’re right, the payout is 1 to 1. Finally, players can bet on the “1 to 18” and “19 to 1️⃣ 36” spaces. If the ball lands on a number within that range, the payout is 1 to 1. As players 1️⃣ are placing their bets, the dealer will spin the roulette wheel and drop the ball into it. Players can continue 1️⃣ betting until the dealer waves their hand and says “No more bets.” Once the ball lands on a number, the 1️⃣ dealer will pay out anyone who bet on that number or color. Then, a new round of betting starts, and 1️⃣ the game repeats. If you want to learn how to calculate your odds of winning roulette, keep reading the article!
