Roulette is one among the most interesting games in the casino. Aside from its unique table layout, roulette offers betting variations to its players thus making the game more versatile in terms on placing a bet.
Roulette not only has a unique bet features, it also has a unique table layout where the player can place either an inside or outside bet. The word roulette comes from a French word that means small wheel.
From the wheel, the numbers to bet on are from 1 to 36. These numbers are represented on the wheels each with a corresponding pocket where the ball will fall to indicate which number wins. The numbered pockets come in alternating red and black colors while the green pockets represent the number zero in European roulette and the double zeros in American roulette.
The roulette player has the option to choose which type of bet they like to play. Roulette offers flexible bet options to its player such as placing a bet on based on color (red or black), a bet on group of numbers, single number bet or a bet on even or odd numbers.
The inside bets that can be played on roulette are typically done by betting on numbers located on the inside betting table layout of roulette. One can place a bet on single number which offers the highest payout but with the lesser odd of winning. One can also place a bet on two adjoining numbers called a split bet or a bet on three numbers that are lined on a horizontal line which is called the street bet.
Another inside bet is on four numbers that are in a square layout called corner bet and a bet on two street bets called six line bet where the chip is placed along the intersection of the two street bets being played for. A trio bet is another inside bet that allows a player to bet on a point that intersect numbers 0, 1, 2 and 3.
The outside bets basically offer lower payout but with better probability of winning. These bets involve playing by color, group of numbers and even or odd numbers. One can bet on the first low numbers from 1 to 18 or on the last highest number from 19 to 36.
It is also possible to play for a dozen numbers on dozens bets from 1 to 12, 13 to 24 or 25 to 36. The column bet is another outside bet that can be played on 12 numbers that are on vertical lines.
Because of these varieties of bets that can be played in roulette, many players are able to exercise numerous betting options which also enhance their chance of winning.
