Its long association with the sophistication of Monte Carlo and its high
stakes gambling, as well as its popularity in films such as Casablanca, The
Sting and the James Bond series, has turned Roulette into a game of
glamour and elegance.
The earliest versions of the game were played three centuries ago, but
Roulette remains as popular as ever. This is perhaps due to the simple
outline of the game, which involves taking a seat at the Roulette table,
placing bets on your desired numbers, and cashing in your chips.
Despite being able to play different systems and place bets strategically
to cover a variety of numbers, players should not forget that Roulette is a
random game that can have no set patterns.
There are also a few golden rules you should learn before launching head
first into the Roulette table, but well get to those later.
The game only becomes tricky when considering the variety of bets that
can be made to give you the best chance of finding a winning number. One
has the option of betting on different colors, or on odd or even numbers,
for example.
The ball eventually loses momentum, and bounces into the wheel, where it
will settle on one of the grooved numbered pockets on the wheel.
A very short history of Roulette
The first known version of Roulette was designed by French mathematician
and physicist Blaise Pascal in the 18th century. While searching for a perpetual
motion machine, Pascal designed a primitive form of the Roulette wheel.
The ancient Romans also developed many games involving the spinning
wheel, such as one in which chariot wheels were spun to determine the
distribution of goods that were confiscated during war.
Some theories point to Chinese origins for the game of Roulette. The Blaise Pascal
Chinese version of the game depicted animals on the pockets of the wheel,
rather than numbers.
At the time, the Roulette wheel featured numbers and alternating colors.
Roulette became popular in Paris at the turn of the century, and the wheel
featured red for the single zero and black for the double zero. The game

In the 19th century, Roulette spread across Europe and into the U.S.A.,
becoming one of the most famous and popular casino games.
In the USA, Roulette spread to the north of the country via the Mississippi
River, from New Orleans to the American West. Roulette Monte Carlo

The inhabitants of the Wild West made a few alterations to the game. Some
versions of early American Roulette wheels featured the numbers 1

eagle slot, which represents American liberty, was a slot reserved for the
house, in order to bring a higher house edge.

Now that weve touched on the history of Roulette, lets get into what
ingredients are needed to make a great fame of Roulette.
The Wheel
There are two different kinds of Roulette wheels the European and the
American. The European wheel features 37 slots, numbered 0-36. The
house edge on the European wheel is 2.63%. The American wheels has one
slot, the double zero (00), added. This increases the house edge to 5.26%.
The pockets of the Roulette wheel are numbered from 1 to 36, and featured
in a specific order.
0-32-15-19-4-21-2-25-17-34-6-27-13-36-11-30-8-23-10-5-24-16-33-1-20-

8-19-31-18-6-21-33-16-4-23-35-14-2
The odd numbers from 1 to 10 and 19 to 28 are red, while the evens are
black. From 11 to 18 and 29 to 36, odd numbers are black and even are red.
The 0 and 00 pockets are green. The winning bets are determined by the
pocket that the ball falls into.
The croupier or dealer, who accepts bets and pays out winnings, stands at
the far end of the Roulette table nearest the wheel.
The Table
The Roulette table is laid out with an inside and outside betting area. The
table layout features an organized grid where players can lay their bets by
placing their chips on the relevant numbers or groups.
The inside area features individual numbers, while the outside area has
boxes containing bets for specific columns on the table, bets for red/black,
bets for odd/even and bets for specific groups of numbers.
The inside numbers are arranged in 12 rows of three numbers each, forming
three columns. The zero (0) and double zero (00) are featured at the top of
the column.

Chips
Most casinos require that Roulette be played with plastic or metal chips
and not cash. This is to make it easier for dealers to observe and count
bets, and to prevent chips from being counterfeited or stolen. Different
players often get different colored chips to one another so as to avoid any
confusion at the betting table.
The Dealer
Dealers keep the Roulette wheel moving at all times, even between spins.
They spin the ball in the opposite direction of the wheel. This causes the
ball to jump and spin before landing on a number.
The dealer marks the winning number with a marker. Players can only
place new bets once the dealer has removed the marker from the previous

isnt much left to do to become a Roulette pro.
First of all, you need to take a seat at the Roulette table to take part in
the game. Bystanders who are not participating in the game may not be
seated.
Once you have received your chips, you can place them on the numbers
that you would like to bet on the Roulette table. You can place your bets
on your own, unless there is a number that you cant reach in which case
you can ask the croupier to place the bet for you.
If the space where you want to place your bet is already occupied with
another players chips, just place your chips on top of those. As your chips
will be a different color to another players chips, this will not confuse the
game.
Call bets and announced bets work differently, and will be communicated
to the croupier. We will deal with these soon enough.
There should be enough time to place your bets, as the croupier will only
spin the wheel once all players have completed their betting. Once all bets
have been placed, the croupier will call out No more bets, either just be-
fore or after spinning the wheel. Wagers made after this point are likely to Croupier
be voided.
After the ball has landed in a slot on the wheel, the croupier will place
a marker known as the dolly on the table, indicating where the ball
landed. At this point all losing wagers will be collected, and all winners will
be paid their dues.
Inside bets may be made with the minimum bet spread across various
numbers on the inside, while outside bets should be made with the full
amount on each bet. This is because outside bets give the player a greater
chance of winning.
Inside bets
Inside bets are those made on the numbers featured in the inner section of
the table layout:
- Street bets are three-number bets. Players indicate this bet by placing
their chips at the beginning of a row on the divide between the inside
and outside bets, and at the end of a row on the line between the
inside and outside bets. This will indicate that the sequential numbers
in that row, such as on 1, 2, and 3, have been chosen for betting. The
payout on a street bet is 11:1.
- Corner bets are those wagered on four adjoining numbers. Players can

numbers. They pay a 5:1 reward.
Outside bets
Outside bets are those placed on the outer bets featured on the Roulette
table layout:
- Color bets, meaning a bet on what color (black or red) will win, pay out
Outside bets an even reward.
- Even and odd bets are made almost the same way as color bets.
Players lay their bets on the even or odds box on the layout table. A
win on these also pays evenly.

Call Bets are those called by the player without him or her placing money
on the table. Call Bets are usually placed at the last minute. These bets
technically mean that a player is playing on credit, and is illegal in some
gambling districts.

Roulette Systems
Now that you understand how betting and the different versions of Roulette
work, you can start shaping the type of player that you want to be.
While many people purport that some betting systems provide the edge in
Roulette, it is still a game of chance, and winning can never be guaranteed.
Most casino games have well developed basic strategies used by players.
In Roulette, different methods may offer an optimal method of playing, but
the game remains random. Many people insist that there is no strategy that
is optimal for winning in Roulette.
Roulette strategy
Regardless, it is always a good idea to play with some sort of strategy, so
that you can keep your betting patterns in order and under control.
There are a few tried and tested strategies to which avid Roulette players
keep returning. Some are based on mathematical calculations, while others
are shaped to attempt to counter the house edge.
We will start with describing the easiest system The Martingale System,
and progress to those that can even be applied to other gambling games.
The Martingale system is based on the premise that players double their
bets every time they lose. Should a player experience a win, then, they
will win back their losses. The system, of course, relies on the fact that
players will eventually win at one time or another which of course is not
guaranteed. The system is mostly applied to the outside bets.
DAlembert System
The system works on a betting progression where, after each loss, one unit
is added to the next bet. After each win, one unit is deducted from the next
bet.
If you start with 10 units and lose, for example, you will place 11 units on
Jean le Rond
the next bet. If you win after that bet, your next bet will be 10 units again.
dAlembert, born: 17-
Nov-1717
The system relies on the theory of gamblers fallacy that the player is
more likely to lose after a win, and win after a loss.
In 1873, Joseph Jagger was able to clock the information from a number
of Roulette wheels in Monte Carlo, and exploited the casinos to an extent
that he took home a total of over $300,000. The film The man who broke
the bank at Monte Carlo was inspired by him.
In the early 1990s, Gonzalo Garcia-Pelayo set out to prove that the wheels
at the Casino de Madrid in Spain were biased. After doing so, he won
600,000 Euros in one day, and one million Euros in total. The casino took
legal action against him, but this was unsuccessful as it was ruled that the
casino should have fixed its wheels.
The man who broke the The new low profile wheel featured pockets reduced in depth, and other
bank movie poster design modifications that caused the ball to descend in a gradual approach
to the pocket area. In 1986, when a professional gambling team applied
the Biased Wheel system to an old wheel at the Golden Nugget in Atlantic
City, they won $3.8 million. Every casino in the world took notice, and within
one year most casinos around the world switched to the new low-profile
wheel.

Roulette Folklore
There are some Roulette players who have become legends in the casino
world. These are the players who inspire amateurs to keep learning, and
are the motivation for beginners to become pros.
Ashley Revell, a young man from London, sold all of his possessions and
traveled to the Plaza Hotel in Las Vegas, where he bet everything he had on
one round of Roulette. Revell sold his car, books, and clothes, and received
a sponsorship from bookmaker Blue Square for changing his name to
Ashley Blue Square Revell. He bet the $135,300 he raised on the color
Red. When the ball stopped on 7 Red, Revell became an instant Roulette
celebrity, doubling his money to $270,600.
In 1891, petty crook Charles Wells broke the bank at every table he
played at over several days while playing at the Monte Carlo casino. He
won 23 times out of 30 successive spins of the wheel. Wells, who used the
Martingale System, attributed the wins to a winning streak. Detectives who
investigated the wins discovered nothing to prove the contrary. Ashley Revell
Roulette Etiquette
As with many Casino games, there are a few dos and donts to be aware
of at the Roulette table. Follow these basic tips to ensure you are always
ahead of your game, and that you contribute to a positive environment
around the Roulette table:
- Players must not touch the chips, or change or add bets on the table
after the dealer gives the hand signal or announces that there are no
more bets.
- Dealers do not take money from players hands when changing them for
chips. Players should place cash on the table for the dealer to change. Roulette players
- Players should not toss chips onto the board, and should place them
carefully to avoid disrupting other players chips. If a player cannot reach
the place where they would like to place a bet, they should announce
the bet to the dealer.
- Call bets are courtesy bets, and are only placed if the dealer has time
to place them. The bet is only considered to be taken if the dealer has
repeated the bet, and the dealer will announce no bet if it is not.
- Players should not argue with the dealer, as this is considered impolite
and may result in a warning from the pit boss.
Online Roulette
Playing Roulette online has its advantages.
Online Roulette is a very simple game to play. Some online Roulette games
automatically clear the table after every round, while others adhere to
traditional casino rules and leave wagers on the table after wins.
Online Roulette One should research the reputation of online gaming portals before
engaging with them, examine the financial processes used by the site, and
determine the efficiency of the online casinos customer support system
before deciding whether it is an ideal site for gambling online.
