How to Play Roulette Easily Explained
When the roulette wheel spins and slowly comes to a stop, all eyes are watching the white spherical marker as it jumps from slot to slot, sometimes skipping across the wheel. Some even hold their breath, willing the little white ball to come to rest in the slot of their choice. More often than not, it doesn't happen as there can only be one winner and the house normally top the list.
One doesn't need to be a rocket scientist to know how to play roulette. Basically roulette betting is divided into 2 areas known as inside and outside betting areas, and doesn't require the players to leave the premises to bet on the latter. The inside betting area consists of numbers which coincide with that on the wheel, of which the European roulette wheel has 37 numbered slots and the American roulette wheel has 38 numbered slots. Why the difference you may ask? The American wheel has an extra double zero slots, possibly because the Americans need to show they are bigger and better than their European counterparts. Perhaps it was easier to construct a wheel with an even number of slots. Whatever the case may be, the odds increase for the house with this extra slot. When the croupier starts to spin the wheel, most players place their bets in a nonchalant sort of way until a mad frenzy builds up and some scramble to place the remaining bets, thinking they have established a telepathic connection with the marker. As the marker slows down, the croupier chimes the familiar "No more bets" and all watch with abated breath.
Assuming you consider yourself sufficiently well-informed on how to play roulette, you buy some chips which are color-coded so as not to get mixed up with those of other players. Chips in hand, all you need to do is to bet on one or more numbers within the inside betting area by placing your chips on specific numbers or overlap lines to combine numbers. Since slots alternate between red and black colors except for the zero and double-zero slots which are in green, you can increase your chances of winning by also betting on colors as well as groups of numbers and other combinations. This is all within the outside betting area. You now realize roulette betting is not just chucking a bunch of chips on the table. Positioning of chips indicate types of bet and ultimately, the payout if and when you win. It's not a wonder the phrase "Location, location, location" not only applies to real estate.
If you are a novice player, numerous literatures on how to play roulette are available online. Alternatively, there are always the infamous yellow 'dummy' books to delve further into the intricacies of roulette playing. As you can see, roulette is not a hard game to play. It's just not an easy game to win.
