Let us take you through the roulette introduction and specifically look at its various rules and types of bets. This knowledge will significantly improve your chances of winning.
Roulette introduction
Roulette is an exciting game of chance. In India, it is widely played in the Deltin casinos. Generally, it includes a:
- Spinning wheel
- A small ball
- A betting board
The wheel has 37 or 38 pockets (depending on the version). These pockets are coloured red, black, or green. Players can place bets on:
- A single number
- A group of numbers
- Colours like red or black
There are usually two main types of bets: inside bets (focused on specific numbers) and outside bets (broader options like colours or odd/even). The three popular versions of roulette are European, American, and French roulette.
Playing roulette
Roulette is simple to play as it is purely a luck-based game. The basic steps are the same for European and American roulette, with only a few minor differences in the wheel’s layout and the number of pockets.
When you play roulette at Deltin casinos, your primary goal is to guess where the ball will stop on the spinning wheel. For more clarity, let’s see how to play in these easy steps:
Place your bets
In the casino, the dealer announces, “Place your bets.” Now, you choose your bet type.
For example, when you place ”inside bets”, you focus on specific numbers for higher payouts but lower odds. In contrast, when you place “outside bets”, you cover larger groups like red/black or odd/even for better odds but lower payouts.
Spin the wheel
After betting, the dealer spins the wheel in one direction and throws the ball the other way.
Collect winnings
When the ball stops, the winning number is announced. Bets matching the result are paid out. After this, the table is reset for the next round.
Special roulette playing rules
Some roulette games have special rules. They give players a better chance by reducing the casino’s advantage. Let’s check them out:
La Partage rule
- It is found in European and French roulette.
- This rule applies to even-money bets (say, betting on red/black or odd/even).
- If the ball lands on 0, you don’t lose your full bet.
- Instead, you get back half of your wager.
For example, say you bet Rs. 100 on red, and the ball lands on 0. Instead of losing Rs. 100, you only lose Rs. 50.
En Prison rule
- It is similar to La Partage but slightly different.
- The dealer keeps half of your bet “in prison” (held over to the next round).
- If your next bet wins, you get your full wager. And, if not, you lose it.
For example, say you bet Rs. 100 on red (an even-money bet). The ball lands on 0. This activates the En Prison rule. Now, half of your Rs. 100 bet is “imprisoned” for the next spin (Rs. 50 is held).
When the wheel is spun again:
- If the ball lands on red in the next round, you get your full Rs. 100 back.
- If it lands on black or 0, you lose the Rs. 50 in prison.
Hence, in this rule, you get a second chance to win back your money instead of losing it all immediately.
Surrender rule
- It is found in American roulette games.
- This rule covers both 0 and 00 pockets.
- If the ball lands on 0 or 00, you get back half your bet, just like La Partage.
For example, say you bet Rs. 100 on even, and the ball lands on 0 or 00. Now, you get Rs. 50 back instead of losing the entire bet.
