Roulette is probably the simplest casino game next only to slot machines where the player has to put money and pull a lever or push a button. There is actually nothing to learn about the roulette game except how and where to place your bets. And that is exactly what you will find here.

First, you might need to check the minimum and and maximum bets you can place on a number or numbers. Next, select the color of your chips. Then, a round of game initiates when the croupier asks everybody to 'place your bets, please'; you place yours. He then waits for a little while and spins the roulette wheel and a small ball. When the ball and the wheel are slowing down, the croupier declares 'no more bets'. After which the ball falls into into one of the numberd grooves of the wheel - the winning number for the round.

Roulette is a table game with a wheel that has thirty-seven or thirty-eight pockets in it. If the wheel has thirty-eight pockets, it means there is a double zero on it. This is the one to avoid, if possible, because the house odds are doubled on this kind of wheel. The wheel is spun and the ball whirls around and lands in one of the pockets. The person who spins the wheel is called the croupier. He is a member of the casino staff who takes the bets and pays out the winnings. He does not play the game. The betting is on where the ball will land: a particular number, red or black, or in which sections of the wheel, or on other combinations. The numbers are consecutive on the wheel. You will find zero opposite double zero, one opposite two, three opposite four, etc. with every other pockets being red and black. The pocket for the zero is green. It is a simple game of chance that is easy to learn for beginners.

The first is that not all Roulette wheels are the same, and this is something that you should be well aware of. All are numbered from 1 to 36, and use alternating red and black colors. However, while most casinos in North America have two zeros (the 0 and 00), there are a few that offer the European wheel, which has only one zero.

If you find one, or are playing online, always opt for the European Roulette wheel, as removing the other zero cuts the house edge in half, from 5% down to 2.5%. It is also worthwhile to look for any special rules for the game. For instance, the "En Prison" rule means a player can bet again without losing his wager if the ball drops into the zero compartment. While these options may not always be available in casinos, they are more frequent online.

Next you should be familiar with the chips, as these are the means with which you will be placing your bets. Their colors specify their values, and this is something that is clearly stated. If you are not sure, feel free to ask the casino attendant. Usually, the minimum purchase of Roulette chips is 20 stacks.
