How to Play Roulette
Roulette is a game that has its origins in the old continent, in France, and the current layout of the table is the one that was used back in 1842. When playing roulette, you must spread your chips around the betting table in order to try to pick the winning number once the wheel has stopped spinning. You also have other interesting options such as picking either red or black or if the winning ball is going to be even or odd.
Now, when it comes to the wheel, there are two kinds, the American, which has 38 numbers (0 to 37 and double zero) and a house edge of 5.26%. The European does not play the double zeros; therefore, on this type of roulette you will only find slots numbered from 0 to 36, and because of the lack of the 00, the house edge diminishes to 2.63.
In this game, you do not bet with your money directly, as you need to exchange it for chips, and to avoid any possible disputes, each player receives a set of chips of a different color. Such chips can only be utilized in the roulette table and cannot be transfer to other gaming tables, and they should be exchange for regular casino chips once you are done playing.
In roulette, there is a minimum and a maximum bet, though the exact amount depends on each casino and an important factor to notice is that you cannot combine an outside and an inside bet in order to meet the tables minimum. Lets say that the less you can bet is $5, so, these five dollars should be placed outside or inside, you cannot bet three dollars inside and two more outside.
Bet types:
The betting table has two areas; the one inside is the one with all of the numbers, which is divided in twelve rows of 3 numbers, making it 3 vertical columns with the zero and the double zero at the top. And the one outside has different boxes for colors and more.
Inside: here you can bet straight up, which means to put chips on a determined number, and splits, which means that you can put your chips in the middle of two numbers and get half the earnings of a bet in a determined number. Here you are paid 35 to 1, and 17 to 1 in splits.
Outside: Here you can wager on colors, either placing your chips in the red or black colors, or on columns, odd/even and a set of group numbers, and when you place a bet here, you are paid even.
How to Play Live Online Roulette
Have you ever heard of “live casino gambling?” If you are reading this, I guess you are interested in knowing what it is and how to play it. First, I am going to give you a brief explanation of it.
In playing live roulette, you are watching a real live roulette that is actually happening in a real casino or dealer studio. It is being broadcast simultaneously through a real-time video stream to your computer. As the game actually happens you will place your bet through your computer. Unlike its counterpart, the “RNG online roulette” which is a software generated game, the wheel in the live roulette is same as those being used in the big land-based casinos. Of course, the dealers are as real as they can be.
More often than not, the game uses the European and/or French roulette version (single zero) than the American roulette (double zero). Just like the traditional casinos, the odds and payouts are accessible in the game system.
By now I am pretty sure you are excited to start playing. So, I am going to tell you what you need in order to begin. Of course, you will need a computer, an internet connection (the faster the better), and a live casino account. But the most important thing you will need is an interest in playing the game. (Which I think you definitely have – otherwise you would not be sitting there and still reading this).
Since what you are receiving is a real-time video stream of the live game, I would recommend you that it is a must to have fast, good Internet connectivity. At least 1 Mbps would do in order to ensure that you would have a clear, uninterrupted game. Anything lower than that would result to freeze frame thus I doubt you will enjoy the game.
When opening an account you should be conscious of the laws pertaining to Internet casino gaming, which vary from country to country. The majority of the casinos won’t accept US players for example, due to the presently primed UIGEA limitations, but there are still some that do.
Now that that’s over, what are you waiting for? Go out and start playing ONLINE ROULETTE!
