Roulette

Roulette is an exciting game, easy to learn, with simple rules. Involving a Roulette wheel and a ball, the aim of the game is to bet on the number or colour where you think the spinning ball will fall. The Roulette wheel numbers from 0 to 36. The numbers are alternately coloured red and black with the ‘0’ green.

Players place their bets by placing their chips on the numbers and colours they select to win, the Dealer then spins the white ball in the opposite direction of the spinning wheel.

Chips have different values and are bought in stacks of 20 from the dealer. You decide the value of the checks when you buy-in and select a colour. Players can make as many bets as they wish and can use roulette checks, money or chips to place their bets. There are lots of different bets that can be chosen on a Roulette table. Players may choose to change numbers on every spin or play their favorite numbers. Others will play their birth date or age or just lay them down randomly. There is no wrong way to play, it is a game of chance and the choice is entirely yours.

Here are some sample bets:

Single Number/Straight Up - This is any number, e.g. 4, 27, 30.

2 Number (Split) - Place a bet on the line that divides two adjacent numbers on the table. The bet wins if one of the two numbers come up. E.g. 21 & 22, 15 & 16.

3 Number (Across) - Place a bet on any 3 adjacent numbers. Place the chips on the line to the left of the first number in the series. E.g.15, 16, 17 bet would be placed on the left line of the box around the 15.

4 Number (Corner) - Place a bet on four numbers whose positions on the table form a square. Place the chips on the line in the centre of the square. E.g. 11, 12, 14, 15. The bet would be placed in the middle of the square made up by these four numbers.

6 Number (Across) - Place a bet on six numbers made up of two rows of three numbers each. Place the chips on the line to the left of the first number in the series and between the two rows of numbers. E.g. 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36.
