Roulette History and Rules
Roulette is a casino game I first started learning how to play. You want to talk about a game of chance, here is it. Roulette allows you to make multiple bets in one spin. This leaves for exciting and interesting outcomes. A Roulette wheel is made up of 36 number form 1-36. Each of these numbers are alternating color from red to black. There is also a 0 and a 00 on the wheel which these will be colored green. In the past there only used to be one "0", but in recent time they have added the "00" which increases the houses edge. I know, it's not that bad though.
The Dealer - To learn Roulette you have to first learn all the Roulette rules. When starting roulette, the dealer will allow you to change in your chips for check. These Checks allow the dealer to identify you. It is quite possible there could be many different people at the table playing with lots of different bets. This could get confusing to keep track of after a while. The dealer will now spin the ball and you are able to place bet up unlit the ball is about to leave the track and start bouncing to take its place. The dealer will say, "no more bets". Now, where the ball falls and what you will we are about to get into.
Bets you can make :
Single Number - This means you are wagering that only that number you places you "check" on will hit. Odds are usually 35:1
Two Number wager - This is sometimes called a split. Placing a check on the line dividing two numbers next to each other on the online roulette table. When this wager is placed, you are wagering that one of the two numbers will hit. For Example: 13 and 14, 22 and 25. Odds are usually 17:1
Three Number wager - This is considered to be an across bet. You'll wan to put a wager on any 3 numbers next to each other on the roulette table. To place this bet, place your chips on the line to the left of the first number in the series. Example: 16, 17, 18. Put the wager on the left line of the 16 box. Payout Odds are usually 11:1
Four Number or a Corner bet - Our rules to Roulette shows that you do this bet by placing your wager on the intersection of four numbers on the roulette table. For example if you wanted to bet on 11, 12, 14, 15, you wager would places at the intersection of those four numbers. Payout is usually 8:1

These groups do not include the "0" or the "00". Payout usually 2:1
