Roulette is among one of the most popular games in casinos worldwide. If you want to know how to play, read the following.


Steps


1. Know the different bets. In roulette, you have to anticipate the number or type of pocket on which the ivory ball is going to land. To do this, there is a range of bets. You can bet:

-straight up betting on one number and it pays 35 to 1,

-split betting on two numbers and it pays 17 to 1

-street betting on three numbers and it pays 11 to 1

-corner betting on four numbers and it pays 8 to 1

-six line betting on 6 numbers and it pays 5 to 1

-column or dozen betting on 12 numbers and it pays 2 to 1

-outside bets betting on 18 numbers and it pays 1 to 1.


2. Now place your bets. The first six bets are placed on the pockets numbered 0 to 36 on the game table. If you want to bet on column, place your bets on the empty pocket under the three columns. For the dozen, choose the pocket P12 for the first 12 numbers, M 12 for the 12 middle numbers and D 12 for the last 12 numbers. Finally, when you want to bet on the outside bets, use the red, black, even, odd, high or low pockets.


3. Finally, you have to know the procedure of a round. It starts when the dealer says: “place your bets”. It is time to put your chips on the table in order to place your bets. A few minutes later, the dealer spins the wheel by throwing the ball inside the cylinder. At the same time, he says “the bets have been placed”. Hurry because the betting round is almost over. Once the ball touches the pockets of the wheel, the dealer says: “no more bets”. The betting round is over.
