Casino Roulette - Game Information

(Casinos Guides)

Casino Gaming: Playing

The casino game of roulette has been played for hundreds of years and has remained virtually the same throughout this time. Played at casinos throughout the world, this is one of the most popular gambling games and is played at large tables, with a roulette wheel positioned at one end of the table. The wheel is operated by the casino's 'dealer', also known as the table croupier.

A number of different versions are played at casinos, with the most popular including American, French, English and also Rapid Roulette - a modern state-of-the-art version, featuring computerised betting and payout calculations.

Casino Gaming: The Game

Roulette players start their game by purchasing coloured table chips, which they place on the table. Each player bets with different coloured chips and this enables the dealer / croupier to know who to pay on winning bets without any possible confusion.

Players can make more than one bet on the roulette table and win when the ball lands on their number. There is a very structured betting layout on the table and although this may appear complicated at first, placing bets on the table is quite simple.

The table's different sections denote additional betting strategies and betting in roulette can be categorised into two major categories, inside bets and outside bets. There is no limit to the number of bets one can place on the actual table.

Casino Gaming: Aim of Playing

The aim and main objective of casino roulette is to win money by predicting the number that the ball lands on when the wheel is spun around by the croupier. Various betting options are available in roulette, with more general betting paying out less than very specific numbered bets, which are less likely to win.

The croupier spins the roulette wheel in one direction, and the actual ball revolves in the opposite direction and must travel around the cylinder at least three times before dropping into the numbered section on the wheel.
