UK Casino Guide Roulette
Another popular, and easily recognisable casino game is Roulette. The roulette wheel is a familiar site at casinos and on movies and television. Even the popular television game show Wheel of Fortune has its own wheel.
The origins of roulette date back to the 17th and 18th centuries. It is believed the earliest form of what we now know as roulette was played in Paris casinos around the end of the 18th century. The game had all the features of modern day roulette, with a few minor exceptions.
Even if you have trouble understanding the often-complex card games, roulette is a simple game to play that will take no time at all to pick up.
When entering a roulette room at an online casino, a player is presented with a scenario similar to a real-life roulette table. The wheel and the betting mat will be laid out before the player and to begin, it’s as simple as placing a bet on the mat.
The roulette mat is marked with the numbers 1 to 36, 0 and 00. On the outside of the mat are places for outside bets. Outside bets can be placed on a group of numbers, or a binding characteristic. It’s important to note that all outside bets lose if the ball drops on 0 or 00.
When placing a bet, you will be able to either bet on a number (as above) or just simply on red or a black. A bet on red or black pays even money. You can even bet on the chance of an odd or even number being spun. Again, this pays even money of one to one. If you prefer, you can bet on the chance of a high number (19-31) or low number (1-18) being spun up. Like the other above bets, this pays even money.
To make things interesting, you can bet on the 12 numbers contained in any one of the three long columns on the table. The roulette table has three columns and 12 rows. At the end of these columns there are places (usually labelled 2 to 1) to lay chips. If a number in your column comes up you win. A win on a column pays 2 to 1.
If that’s not enough ways to win, you can also bet on the first dozen numbers (1-12), the second dozen (13-24), or the third dozen (25-36). If the ball lands on any of the numbers in your dozen, you win. A win here pays 2 to 1.
To place a bet, it’s as easy as clicking on a chip denomination and then clicking on the roulette table. Each online casino will vary, so it’s best to check the online help before you begin playing so you know how to play correctly. |
