Roulette

Everyone has heard of the "Queen of casino games" and probably many have had the opportunity to play it at least once. Of course we are talking about roulette which not only reigns supreme in land-based casinos today, but also has a royal place in online casinos.

History Of Roulette

Roulette originated in France. It was invented by French mathematician Blaise Pascal, who constructed the roulette wheel. Initially, his goal was to invent a mechanism that would help recreate the case in the account of probability.

Roulette wheel very quickly knew$about its use in fun and games , and in the 18th century it already functioned on principles similar to modern ones. In clubs such as "Palais Ro-yal" or "Palais Frascati" Roulette was introduced by Louis XVI.

In 1837, France banned the cultivation of gambling h roulette migrated to neighboring countries and from there to the whole world. In the United States, she initially gained recognition in New Orleans, her sympathizers came, until finally the whole country recognized her. Today it is known everywhere and appreciated everywhere elegant style .

Roulette Rules

To play roulette, you need a special table, which is divided into two parts: a wheel and a platform with numbered fields in two colors: black and red.
There are two types of roulette – European and American . In European Roulette, on the wheel and on the platform there are fields with numbers from 1 to 36 and a field with zero. In American roulette, there is also a double zero. The partitions with zeros are green.

The game starts with players placing bets. Players can both bet on individual numbers and zeros, and they can also place their bets on lines, columns, dozens, the first five numbers, on even or odd numbers, on numbers from 1 to 18 and from 19 to 36, or on red or black.

Is that it? The game of roulette would be too simple and probably would quickly get bored of players if not for the fact that you can bet in it in-house establishments . These are characterized by a small chance of winning, but greatly multiply the bet. Even though the risk is high it is worth it! So you can bet on single numbers:

• One number so called (straight up)
• Two numbers (split bet)
• Three numbers (street bet)
• Four numbers (corner bet)
• Five Bet: the first five numbers (0, 00, 1,2,3)
• Six line bet (6 digits per line)

After accepting the bets, the roulette wheel is set in motion and the dealer throws the ball in the direction opposite to the movement of the wheel. It is no longer possible to change the bet. Players are also not allowed to touch or move chips. The winning number is read when the wheel stops. The game is won by those players who bet the drawn number, color, line or column. If a bet is missed, then the player loses the entire bet pool.

If you play roulette in a land-based casino, you are also completely prohibited from using mobile phones or other electronic devices. On the roulette table itself can only be chips, cigarettes, or any drinks that are purchased at the casino.
Calculating the loss is a bit more complicated. If the ball stops in the zero field, the entire bet is lost by those players who bet on simple odds, i.e. they bet on Colors, even or odd numbers, high or low numbers. If you bet on columns or dozens, players lose only half of the bets.

European and American roulette

European and American roulette differ from each other not only in the number of zeros on the wheel, but also in the number of croupiers present in the game. In American Roulette, The Game is handled by only one dealer, who performs all the actions with his hands. In the case of European Roulette, The Game is supported by up to three croupiers:

dealer dealer-the main game leader;
croupier chipper-puts chips and pays out winnings;
croupier inspector-supervises the game without participating in it.

Although the other rules of the game are the same in both versions, it is also worth knowing that in American roulette, due to the presence of two zeros, there is a lower probability of winning.

As for the game of roulette itself, you have three options to choose from: a land-based casino game, a online casino where you have the opportunity to play with the dealer live, play roulette without the presence of the dealer. In the latter variant, the player plays alone against the game mechanism.

The game of roulette has something mysterious about it. From the beginning of its creation, it was tried to develop the mechanism of the roulette wheel, so as to deceive the game and predict in which field the ball will fall out. The sum of all the numbers in roulette gives the number 666, which is considered diabolical. Such attempts to decipher the wheel are referred to as roulette systems.

How to play roulette? Game strategy

Roulette strategy we will start by discussing the odds in roulette. This varies depending on whether you are playing French or European Roulette and the type of bet you are making. We remind you that American Roulette has as many as two zeros, so the advantage of the mad player casino is 5.26%. That's a lot because for French roulette with one zero the profit of the casino is only 2.7% so it is not difficult to guess which type of roulette players like to play the most.

In roulette, there are bets where the percentage of chances of winning is up to 50%. We mean the opposite bets: black/red, even/odd. If you play roulette in an online casino very often you may encounter a ban on the use of such bets when playing with an active Bonus. A fairly high chance of winning the player makes online casinos exclude such bets from the promotion. In turn, when betting on a single number (straight) the probability of a chance to win is equal to 1/37 or 1/38 (the same as the numbers in roulette).

So what about roulette systems? You've probably heard of them before, but you probably still don't know what to do to win at roulette. The game of roulette is 100% random and you cannot predict the outcome that will appear at the end of the spin. No roulette strategy will guarantee you a win. It can only increase its mathematical probability. There are three strategies for playing roulette. Here they are:

1. Martingale System

This method involves doubling the bet with each loss. For example: if your just lost bet was eur 2, you bet eur 4 in the next round. This strategy of playing roulette involves the risk of losing money quickly, or if you play for a high stake reaching the maximum stake allowed in the casino.

2. The Martinez System

This strategy involves betting the same number in roulette 35 times and it comes from the belief that one day the number you choose will fall behind you. This strategy is also not very effective.

3. Probability testing

The third strategy is to place a selected group of bets and test them. We place bets on numbers belonging to one column, dozens, or lines, etc. Then we do a test consisting in betting 5 spins of the roulette wheel. We assign one letter of the alphabet to each betting group. For example, if in a Test series: A,A,C,C,A fall out, where A is the bets from the column, and C is the bets on the numbers from the same line, we continue the game by betting only on the numbers from these groups.
