The objective of the game is to correctly guess and bet on
which number the ball is going to stop. The player puts chips
on the Roulette table to mark up his bets, if he wins, he
will collect a prize according to the amount wagered. The
payouts go from even money to 35 to 1.
Playing The Game
Roulette tables sit up to seven players. It mainly consists
of a numbered wheel and a betting area. (Known as The Layout)
Players make their bets, the croupier spins the wheel and
when the wheel stops and the ball on it lands on a numbers,
the croupier checks the bets placed by the players and pays
out if there is a winner.
On this game, the challenge is to bet correctly and win,
because the only thing that the player does is bet. The spinning
of the wheel and the releasing of the ball are in charge of
the croupier.
Betting
Betting at Roulette is easy, despite the large number
of options the player has.
To play at a Roulette table, the player has to buy special
chips. By special we are referring to the color. Each player
has a different and only color, so, chips have one unique
value. To bet more or less the player simply bet more or less
chips. The Roulette chips can only be used at the Roulette
table, and must be chased in for regular chips before leaving
the table. Assigning one color to each player helps the croupier
when is pay time. This way, the croupier can easily tell who
won and how much, avoiding complications. To avoid cheating,
when the ball goes under the line in the wheel, the players
can’t move their chips and have to put their hands off
the table until the ball stops and the wining bets are paid.
To define which of the multiple betting options the player
has chosen the player has different sections on the betting
table; according to the placement of the chips the bet is defined.
Usually, the sections at the Roulette table are two.
1 Inside bets – bet placed directly on the
numbers (36 of them plus the 0 and the 00)
2 Outside bets – This one are placed on the betting
area, they are around the numbered layout.
