Roulette for beginners
Roulette is one of the most glamorous and social casino games in the world today. Contrary to its image, the game is very simple and easy to learn and play.
Roulette is purely a game of chance. However, there are certain things to learn that will help you know and understand the game better.
There are actually three main versions of the game; American Roulette, British Roulette, and French Roulette.
The games are fundamentally the same but the odds of winning vary, which is extremely important for players to know. Even before the rules.
The American version has the worst odds, this is due to the addition of a second 0 on the wheel. The British and French versions have the same odds but different game play.
The objective of roulette is basic. A player wagers on where he thinks the ball will land in the wheel after being spun. This is the fundamental premise of Roulette.
The bets and wagers are the next step. Players can bet on an array of choices by placing chips on a marked table that corresponds with colors and numbers on the wheel.
The more risky the bet, the higher payout will be. Looking at the table, even if you don’t know the payouts by heart, will show you which bets are more risky since the payout is written down. A player has the option of betting on individual numbers, groups of numbers, odds, evens, and colors.
Some online sites have great tools for beginning players. Ehow (http://www.ehow.com/how_3551_play-roulette.html) has a breakdown of the rules and sample bets and Online-Casino.com (http://www.online-casino.com) has a free flash game version that doesn’t need to be installed or registered for.
Roulette has a rich history. Today, the game is considered one of the most glamorous of all the casino games despite its simple rules. James Bond, in the 007 movies, immortalized the glitz and pomp surrounding this popular gambling game.
Playing the game online is quite different than playing roulette in a land-based casino. Much of the entertainment and excitement in roulette arise from the social and party atmosphere that surrounds roulette wheels in brick and mortar casinos. The ball can spin more than forty times in the wheel which, if not for this social aspect, might make the game play slow.
Like most casino games, and especially roulette, it is important to never bet more than you can afford to lose. Play the game to play, and not to win, and you’ll always come out a winner. Setting a maximum amount to play with is always a great way to follow this tip.
