How to play roulette
Roulette is a game of chance. The object is to guess where the roulette ball, spinning on the roulette wheel, will land. Played on a table of 36 red and black numbers and a green zero and double zero, roulette offers many ways to play and win. Try your luck in Las Vegas, or in your pajamas at home by visiting a trusted online casino.
Roulette has a high house edge (over 5%) due to the \'0\' and \'00\' locations on the wheel. As a result, you don\'t want to spend a lot of time at a roulette table because the longer you play the better chances are the odds will catch up with you. However, playing roulette is fun, and the little routine I have outlined here will give you a chance to enjoy the game and possibly make a little money in the process.
1. You may have to hunt around the smaller casinos to find a table with a $2 minimum bet level. Most major resorts on the Strip have $5 minimums. You may also be able to find a table with a $2 or $1 minimum at the older resorts on the north end of the Strip or downtown. The following scenario uses a $2 minimum bet level, but if you find a $1 minimum table just cut the amounts in half.
2. Put $62 down on the table and tell the croupier you want "a color". (That\'s 62 one-dollar colored chips. Each player has their own color.)
3. Put the chips in the following stacks; 2, 4, 8, 16, 32.
Tip: It\'s best not to have a towering stack of 32 chips sitting there while you\'re playing because it could easily get knocked over and create a mess. Instead,
* count out 8 chips and put them in a stack
* then create six more stacks of the same height
* put the six chips you have remaining in stacks of 4 and 2
You will now have seven stacks of 8 chips. This way you can stack up two of the 8-chip stacks to create the 16-chip stack, and four of them to create the 32-chip stack, once it\'s time to bet them. You\'ll want to keep your 8-chip stacks grouped according to their bet though, so you don\'t lose track of which bet you\'re on (see the diagram where the number on the chips represents how many chips are in the stack). Note that when you do go to place the 16 and 32-chip bets you do have to stack them up into one tall stack before sliding them onto your position on the layout.
