Casino Roulette

Casino Roulette is what most people refer to when they speak of roulette. Because of the increase in popularity of online casinos over the last few years, the term casino roulette is used to eliminate any doubt about whether the person means Roulette played in a land based casino or at an online casino.

Casino roulette like all other casino games is a game of luck, you can understand all the rules, what the smart bets are but you cannot really master the game as the outcome relys on the random bounces of a spinning white ball. Most table will allow 6 to 8 players to place bets at the same time. These wagers are kept seperate by special chips that can only be played at the Roulette table. The table's layout contains all 38 numbers found on the wheel, a wager on these numbers are called inside bets. Outside of the numbers are the Outside bets and these are on columns, groups or the colour of numbers.

Generally the Roulette table will have a minimum wager that is required for each player to place when they wish to make a bet. Bets below this level are not accepted. Some tables allow the player to split their minimum wager on the table so it may be possible to place have your wager on Red and half on the number 5. You will certainly want to check with the dealer before you try this.

The actual game play of Roulette is really quite easy. You decide what type of wager you are going to make, an inside bet or an outside bet. The inside bets have the highest payouts on the table but they also come with a lower chance of winning. Straight up bets (which have the best payout at about 35 to 1) are made by placing a wager on a single number. Straight up bets are one of a number of inside bets. Outside bets have a lower payout but better odds of winning. A wager on Red has a payout usually around 2:1 and the odds of winning are 1:51.

A major difference between Casino Roulette and Online Roulette is that in Online Roulette once the ball is rolling the no more bets can be made. In Casino Roulette even when the ball is spinning you can still place wagers. The dealer or coupia will call "no more bets" at which point no more bets can be placed.

When the ball comes to rest on the wheel the dealer will call out the winning number, place a marker on the winning number on the layout, remove and the losing wagers and then the dealer will payout the winning wagers.
