Roulette

Roulette is a gambling game in which you have to guess in which sector of the spinning wheel the ball will stop. There are several varieties of it. But the principle is the same for all roulette variations: there is always a table with a wheel, a ball and various betting options.

Casino visitors make bets. The croupier takes orders and then starts the device. After the ball has stopped, announces the result of the game.

In online roulette establishments, instead of a croupier, there is a computer. The player has no other opponents. And the drop-down sectors and numbers are determined by a random number generator. In Ukraine, roulette is the third most popular after slot machines and poker.

Rules of the Game

The field consists of several zones. One contains the roulette itself – a wheel with 37 or 38 sectors. The cells contain numbers from 0 to 36. Sectors are colored in one of two colors: red or black. The cell with zero is different from the others. She is green. In this case, the numbers are not located sequentially on the drum.

Fiat money is generally not accepted in roulette. They are exchanged for special chips. Each of them has its own value. Chips for land-based establishments are made unique. You cannot exchange them for money in another casino – you get winnings only where you purchased them.

A table of rates is drawn on the table next to it. There are 11 of them in total. They are divided into two large groups: internal and external.

The first ones include:

1. Bets on a specific number. The player chooses a number from 0 to 36 and indicates the amount. The size is determined by the table limits.
2. Split – into 2 neighboring numbers. Non-adjacent numbers cannot be selected.
3. Angle – 4 digits side by side. The chip is placed at the intersection between them.
4. Street (line) – 3 numbers at the beginning of a specific row.
5. Double street (2 lines) – by 6 numbers located side by side on two lines.

Outside rates:

• even/odd;
• black/red;
• small (from 1 to 18) or large (from 19 to 36).

Such outside bets are called “even odds”. The probability of winning with them is higher, but the amount of prize money is less.

Also, a casino visitor can bet in roulette for a dozen – 12 consecutive numbers, or a column – it also includes twelve numbers, but located in a certain “column”. A player can place multiple bets per turn.

Types of roulettes

Land-based establishments offer three classic variations of the game: European, French, American. They differ in the rules and number of cells. This also affects the theoretical payout percentage. In online casinos, the range is much wider.

Manufacturers add various bonuses, additional bets to draw attention to roulette. In some modifications, even jackpots are played and tournaments are held.

American

In this version of the game, there is a double zero, which increases the advantage of the casino. The number of sectors is 38. The numbers on the reel are placed systematically: two even ones follow two odd ones. In the standard roulette they are arranged randomly. The numbers in the red sectors are located opposite the numbers in the black cells.

In land-based establishments, the table with American roulette is smaller than with European or French. Chips are used in different colors. The wheel is placed at the far end of the table. The croupier collects losing bets with his hand, and in other cases, a rake is used for this.

There is a Surrender rule. It works when the player made a bet on equal chances, and the ball stopped on the green sector – zero or double zero. In this case, the club returns half of the amount. The Surrender rule does not apply to other types of bets.

By types of bets, the American one does not differ from other versions of the game. In some establishments, there is a rule regarding double zero and zero: if the ball falls on these sectors, the player’s bet does not go to the casino’s income, but is “frozen” until the next spin. Otherwise, American roulette is no different from its analogues.

French

This version of the game is considered the progenitor of the American and European. There are few differences. The disc is divided into 37 sectors from 0 to 36. All terms are in French when playing:

• rouge/noir – red/black;
• pair/impair – even/odd;
• douzaine – dozens;
• carre – 4 numbers.

In real clubs, the table is larger than that of American roulette. Call bets available. For this, there is a separate track on the table. The visitor of the club informs the croupier about the bet and gives him the chips. The dealer himself places them on the table.

The La Partage rule applies. If a casino visitor made a bet on equal chances and zero fell out, he loses only half the amount. The croupier returns the second part to him. There is a similar rule in American roulette.

European

In the European version, all the same 37 sectors from zero to 36, also painted in red and black. Zero is standard in the green sector. The table is divided into an outer and an inner playing field.

There are no verbal bets. A table in real establishments can accommodate up to 8 people. In virtual establishments, the user plays against a machine that generates numbers according to given parameters.

The dealer does the following:

• takes bets;
• announces the end of accepting bets;
• throws the ball;
• declares the result of the game;
• congratulates the winners.

The main difference between European roulette and other types is the En Prison rule. Valid only for bets with equal odds: even/odd, red/black, low/high. If you have chosen one of these options and zero has fallen out, the bet amount is “frozen” until a new round. On the next successful roll, you will get your bet back. If zero falls again, the amount goes to the institution.

What other tape measures are there

In virtual clubs, the range of board games is more diverse. Providers add additional bets, bonuses, jackpots and other interesting options to roulette.

The most popular types are:

1. With two balls. The chances of getting a prize are higher, because 2 numbers can fall out in one round. In some modifications, if 2 balls are in 1 sector, a large payout is provided.
2. With autostart. The player sets the bet size. After spinning the wheel, the next spin immediately begins, and the amount is automatically debited from the balance. For example, this option is available in Relax Gaming models. In such roulettes, you can also set limits on the amount of loss or gain.
3. Mini version. The wheel is significantly smaller than the standard versions.
4. With lucky numbers. When betting on these numbers and their loss, large payouts are due.
5. Live roulette. There is a live broadcast from a real casino or provider’s studio. The player places bets in the same way as in a real institution.

Although the developers make changes to the classic options, the basic rules do not change: in order to win, the player needs to guess where the ball will stop.

What strategies are used in roulette

In virtual roulette, the outcome is determined by a random number generator. It operates according to the algorithms set by the provider. For the most part, it all depends on the luck of the player, but still apply several schemes and strategies. They are divided into two types. Some are used for bets on equal chances, the second – for other types.

If you bet on even/odd, red/black, learn the following strategies:

1. Fibonacci. In this system, each next bet is the sum of the two previous ones. If you lose, the amount on the line is increased by 1 position, if you win, it is returned 2 positions back. The step is determined taking into account the budget for the game. Example: the size of the first bet is 1 UAH. She lost. We increase it by +1 position and put 2 hryvnia. If she lost, then we make a contribution again 2 UAH. Then already 3 UAH. If we win, we roll back two positions and again make a bet of 1 UAH.
2. Martingale. With each loss, the bet doubles. Example: put 1 hryvnia. If you lose – 2 UAH. Failure again? Then we put 4 UAH and so on. Theoretically, the desired number will still fall out, and then the player will return the money spent. When you win, they return to the base rate.
3. D’Alembert. This strategy also increases the amount at stake when you lose. But before starting the process, a step is set. For example, in 0.5 UAH. The player makes the first bet of 0.50 UAH. If he loses, next time he bets 1 UAH and so on until he wins.

For basic rates apply:

1. The law of two-thirds. It is based on the theory that numbers that have already been drawn will win again after a certain period of time. The player first watches what is happening at the table, and then makes a choice of numbers.
2. The Biarritz system. A simple scheme where one number is chosen and bet only on it. The amount at stake does not change.
3. The Counter-Biarritz Strategy. Suitable for playing in land-based clubs with a “biased” wheel, i.e. a device in which one number falls out often. Put only on this number. In case of luck, the amount at stake increases, adding the size of the winnings received. Example: bet 2 UAH on 5 red and win 70 UAH. In the next move, you again point to the same number, but bet already 72 hryvnia. And so on.

All these schemes are used by experienced players, but they do not completely exclude the possibility of failure. The risk of losing always remains.

Chance of winning

The chance of winning depends on the type of bet and the type of roulette. The table shows the probability of winning if you guess one number.

The single bet pays 36:1 and is theoretically the most profitable. But guessing the number is more difficult than the color of a sector or a group of numbers. Outside bets have the following payouts:

• red/black, even/odd, big/small – 1:1;
• dozens, columns, snake – 2:1.

The probability of a successful move when choosing red / black bets is up to 48.60%, for dozens and columns – up to 32.40% in the European version. But at the same time, the amount of payment for the correct answer is reduced. In American roulette, the chances of success are 1.5% lower. For example, with a straight bet in the European version, the probability of winning is 8.1%, and in the American version it is 6.6%.
