In Roulette, there are usually up to 8 players playing against the house dealer. The roulette wheel has 38 slots with numbers 1 – 36 and 2 zeros. Some wheels have 37 slots and only one zero.
Each player will buy different colored chips to ensure they don’t get mixed up. At the end of the game, you will exchange the color chips for cash chips if you win.
To start playing, place your bet or bets on any of the numbers including zero. The dealer will spin the wheel and release the ball and before the ball drops into a slot, the dealer will say no more bets. This mean you can’t place or change any bets. The dealer will place a dolly on the winning number and will clear the losing bets from the table. After this, you can place new bets while the winners are being paid. Winners are bets that are on or around the winning number.
There is a rule called The’En Prison’ rule. With this rule, some casinos will allow the player to either take half their bet back or leave it on the table for another spin.
There is another rule called The ‘La Partage’ rule. This is similar but in this case, the player will lose half of the bet.
