You’ll find plenty of debate over the exact origins of roulette, with a variety of

different countries trying to claim 🌈 it as their own. However, despite all these

pretenders to the throne, it would seem that the game of chance 🌈 we all love so much

today began its life in 17th century France. Or rather, Paris. At that time and 🌈 in that

place, the game was known as the ‘little wheel’.

Yet just because this roulette game is

pretty much exactly 🌈 the same as we play today, that’s not the full story. It is

actually thought that the origins of roulette 🌈 go back further and that those who

created the ‘little wheel’ in Paris may have got the idea from a 🌈 game that had been

played for many centuries in ancient China. This particular game involved 37 animal

figurines that had 🌈 to be put together in a specific order to create a circle or, as you

might have guessed, wheel. Monks 🌈 brought this game to Europe, and it would appear that

Parisians evolved it into roulette. Or so the story goes 🌈 because, as with anything

popular that’s been around for many hundreds of years (maybe thousands), it’s never

easy to know 🌈 for sure.

Or perhaps it came from Rome. Roman soldiers would bet on

almost anything, and spinning chariot wheels were a 🌈 firm favorite. They would bet on

where the markers placed on the wheels would end up when the wheels stopped 🌈 turning.

Once more, this does sound familiar, and could easily be where roulette first

began.

Whatever the reason, whatever the true 🌈 story, by the time it reached Paris in

the 17th century, roulette had become a game for the elite. This 🌈 was not something

offered in a backstreet casino, full of dirt and grime and illegalities; this was for

the upper 🌈 classes and could be why roulette wheels still have an air of class and

sophistication about them today.

Roulette remained an 🌈 elitist game for about one

hundred years. It wasn’t until the 18th century when Monaco began to open up casinos

🌈 that roulette wheels became ubiquitous and everyone was able to play.

Over the years,

roulette has stayed the same, with the 🌈 world changing around it. Perhaps this is why

this game of chance is still so popular; it’s one of the 🌈 few things that everyone can

rely on to be exactly as it should be.

Roulette is played in casinos around the 🌈 world,

and no matter which version you play (either European roulette or American roulette –

more on the differences later), 🌈 free version or with real money, the rules aren’t going

to change from place to place. Regarding those rules, just 🌈 what are they? How do you

get started when it comes to roulette and what do you need to know? 🌈 Let’s look more

closely at this aspect of the game so that, when you want to play, you’ll have a 🌈 much

better understanding of what to do and what to expect.

The Wheel

Depending on the

type of roulette you are playing, 🌈 the wheel itself will have either 37 or 38 pockets,

and in each pocket a number will be written. Those 🌈 pockets will be alternately red and

black, apart from the zero pockets which are always green. Once everyone has placed

🌈 their bets, the croupier will spin the wheel in one direction and toss the small metal

ball in the other. 🌈 When the wheel stops spinning and the ball has landed in one of the

pockets, the round is over. Wherever 🌈 the ball landed, that’s the winning number or

color (depending on what you bet on).

The Table

Although the roulette wheel is 🌈 the

thing that most people think of when they bring this particular casino game to mind,

there is also a 🌈 roulette table. The table is placed by the side of the wheel, and on

it, all the numbers correspond to 🌈 the same numbers on the wheel. They are lined up in

three columns (apart from zero), and elsewhere on the 🌈 table, you will see the different

bets you can make before the wheel starts to spin. Use the table to 🌈 place your chips so

that the croupier or dealer knows what you’re betting on.

The Bets

So of course, when

playing roulette 🌈 the whole point is to try to guess where the ball is going to land. If

you guess right, you’ll 🌈 win a certain amount of money (how much exactly will depend on

how much you bet in the first place). 🌈 If you guess wrong, you’ll win nothing, but you

can have another try if you want to. There are essentially 🌈 two types of bet available

to a player in roulette – inside and outside bets. Each of these has its 🌈 own

subcategories, however, and it pays to understand what they all are and how they can be

used so that 🌈 you can make the most of the opportunities you have, and make your

gambling money go as far as possible.

Inside 🌈 Bets

1 Straight Bets

A straight bet is

a simple thing to master but isn’t something that everyone is going to want 🌈 to attempt.

A straight bet means choosing the exact number you think the ball will land on. To

place this 🌈 bet, lay a chip (or chips) on the number on the roulette table that

corresponds to the number you hope 🌈 will be lucky. For wins on this kind of bet, the

payout is 35-1.

2 Split Bets

A split bet means that 🌈 you choose to bet on two numbers.

They must be next to one another on the roulette table, and to 🌈 place this bet you will

want to lay a chip (or chips) on the line between the two numbers. If 🌈 you are lucky

with either of the numbers you choose, you’ll win at 17-1.

3 Street Bet

A street bet,

also known 🌈 as a three-number bet or trio bet, is similar to a split bet only, as the

name suggests, you will 🌈 be betting on three numbers rather than two. Each row on the

roulette table contains three numbers, so you place 🌈 your chip (or chips) on the outside

line of the row you’re aiming for. Win with any of these numbers 🌈 and you’ll get a

payout of 11-1.

4 Corner Bet

The corner bet can be called the four number bet or the

🌈 square bet, and it means you are betting on four adjacent numbers. Place your chip (or

chips) in the middle 🌈 of the square of four numbers you are hoping will win, and if any

of them is where the ball 🌈 lands, you’ll receive winnings at 8-1.

5 Other Bets

After

the corner bet, it is possible to place five number bets and 🌈 the six-line bet. These

both payout at 6-1.

Outside Bets

6 Red or Black

The choice between red or black might

be one 🌈 of the most famous in gambling history, and it all stems from the roulette

wheel. Rather than opting for a 🌈 specific number when choosing what to bet on, you can

choose instead to pick either red or black. If you 🌈 look at the roulette table, you can

see boxes that indicate these choices, and to place that bet you simply 🌈 have to pay

your chip (or chips) on the right word. The payout here is much lower than it would 🌈 be

if you opted for a specific number at 1-1.

1 Odd or Even

As with the choice between

red or black, 🌈 picking either odd or even is a much ‘safer’ bet. Of course, it’s still a

50/50 choice, but there is 🌈 a much higher chance of getting your guess right. Again, you

simply place your chips (or chips) on the corresponding 🌈 word (odd or even) on the

roulette table. The payout is 1-1.

1 Low or High

To really make yourself have the 🌈 best

chance of winning something rather than nothing (although, of course, nothing is going

to be guaranteed when it comes 🌈 to a casino game), you can choose between ‘low’ or

‘high’ (again, depicted on the roulette table). If you choose 🌈 high, you’ll win if the

ball lands anywhere between numbers 19 to 36. A low bet means any number between 🌈 1 and

18. If the ball lands on zero, you lose. The payout for this is 1-1.

you 🌈 can play Roulette for free, but these rules don’t change. You can experience the

real Roulette game without spending real 🌈 money and deepen your knowledge.

If you

thought that roulette was roulette no matter where you played it, think again. There

🌈 are two variations on the game; European roulette and American roulette. You can find

both versions in our free casino 🌈 games catalog and practice roulette online. Let’s look

more closely at these games and the differences between them. Although the 🌈 difference

might be a small one, it could mean a lot when you’re placing your bets, so it’s wise

to 🌈 know which version you’re playing before you make any decisions.

The main

difference between the two versions of roulette is that 🌈 American roulette has an extra

pocket on the wheel, giving 38 segments instead of the standard 37 that European

roulette 🌈 has. The extra pocket is ‘00’ or double zero.

Although you might not think

it, this extra pocket changes the odds 🌈 of the game quite dramatically, which is why

European roulette is the more popular of the two types. When you’re 🌈 playing American

roulette, your odds of winning are 1/38. The odds in European roulette are 1/37. Plus,

the house edge 🌈 is much higher in American roulette (the house edge is the casino profit

for any game, and it is expressed 🌈 as a percentage of the player’s original bet). In

American roulette, the house edge is 5.26%. Compare this to the 🌈 2.70% for European

roulette, and you’ll immediately see what a difference that one extra pocket makes.

top of all this, 🌈 the payouts are the same in American roulette and European roulette,

meaning that although the odds of winning are lower 🌈 in American roulette – something

that usually means a higher payout if you were to win because of the additional 🌈 risk

involved – you’ll win the same amount as if you played the ‘easier’ (in relative terms)

European roulette.

Although it’s 🌈 fun to watch roulette and see what other players are

choosing to do, the real fun lies in betting on 🌈 numbers yourself and getting involved

in the gambling. Of course, it’s always recommended that you have a set budget when

🌈 you’re playing casino games – playing without one can lead to accidental overspending

which is easy to do and not 🌈 so easy to claw back from afterwards.

When you are betting

on roulette there are a few different strategies that can 🌈 be used to make the process

easier to remember and to give you a structure to what you are doing. 🌈 It’s perfectly

possible to just bet on random numbers with random amounts of money, and if that’s what

you want 🌈 to do then that’s absolutely fine. But if you want something that has some

kind of meaning behind it, read 🌈 on; here are the three most popular betting systems for

roulette. Remember, though; roulette is a game of luck, and 🌈 there is no way to

guarantee a win even if you do opt for one of the betting systems mentioned 🌈 below.

The

Martingale System

The Martingale system is a betting strategy that many people will

have at least heard of, even if 🌈 they’ve never used it or don’t know what it entails.

It’s a simple premise, but don’t let that fool you 🌈 – it will take some thinking about

before you use it in a real game of roulette.

The Martingale system can 🌈 actually be

used on any game that offers a 50/50 chance of success, which is why it’s often used in

🌈 roulette (assuming you’re picking one of the outside bets, that is). Of course,

technically, even the outside bets aren’t purely 🌈 50/50 since the green zero (or zeros)

skew this a little, but for the purposes of the Martingale system, it’s 🌈 close

enough.

When using the Martingale system, you need to double your bet every time you

lose if you’re playing on 🌈 a 50/50 outside bet (red or black, odd or even, high or low).

The idea behind this is that you’ll 🌈 eventually win even if you lose several times

beforehand, and because you’re doubling your bet, you’ll make your money back 🌈 and then

some.

Technically, according to the law of probabilities, you are sure to win when

playing roulette – eventually. So 🌈 technically, the Martingale system is a good idea.

You’ll cover everything you previously lost, make some money and top, and 🌈 then you can

stop playing. There are problems, however. If you’re doubling your bet every time you

lose, how many 🌈 times can you afford to lose before you have to walk away before the win

you were waiting for came? 🌈 Remember, there are often betting limits for roulette, so

you might not win in time, and you’ll lose a lot 🌈 of money in this situation without any

chance of winning it back.

The Anti-Martingale System

If you’re not a fan of the

🌈 Martingale system because, although it gives you a structure, it also gives you a big

chance of losing a lot 🌈 of money, then you might want to consider the anti-Martingale

system. As you might have guessed, this system was created 🌈 because there was a lot of

bad feeling about the Martingale system for the reasons outlined above.

The

anti-Martingale system isn’t 🌈 completely against the original though; it does take

elements of it and changes them though, and for some, this is 🌈 a better way of working.

You still keep betting every time you lose, but instead of doubling your bet, in 🌈 the

anti-Martingale system, you halve it. If you win, you double your bet. Keep going until

you run out of 🌈 money, reach the money you wanted to win, or otherwise think it’s time

to step away.

Betting On Red

If you’re looking 🌈 for a simple betting system that can

work on a game of roulette, betting on red might be the one 🌈 to opt for. This is not as

complicated as some of the other betting systems, and it’s often regarded as 🌈 the

simplest one to master. The name pretty much tells you everything you need to know

about this system; you 🌈 always bet on red. Or black. Or odds. Or even. You can pick any

of the 50/50 bets you like, 🌈 but the point is, you always choose the same one. That’s

it. It really is that simple, and the idea 🌈 behind it is that, as ever, eventually, your

guess will prove to be fruitful.
