INTRODUCTION TO ROULETTE
Roulette is a game of luck and players can bet on various combination of numbers and colours to try to win.
EUROPEAN ROULETTE & AMERICAN ROULETTE – WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?
American Roulette has an extra ‘00’ number meaning that the odds of winning are slightly less than European roulette. Also European Roulette allows you to bet on a number or any combination of numbers as well as black or red and odd or even. For these reason’s we’d recommend 5Casinos players to play European Roulette – most of our Canadian players are smart enough to do just that!
HOW TO PLAY ROULETTE
There are several various bets that one could make to ensure their chances of winning. Read below for the different types of bets.
- If a number will come up ODD or EVEN
- If a number will be RED, BLACK or GREEN (0, or 00)
- If a number will fall in one of 3 groups, lower, middle, higher
- Rows or columns of numbers
The smaller the groupings the greater your potential payout will be. See the table below:
| Name | Description | Payout |
| Single | Betting on one number | 35/1 |
| Split | Betting on any two number by placing you bet on the line between them | 17/1 |
| Trio | Betting on three numbers at their intersecting point | 11/1 |
| Corner | Betting on four numbers by placing you bet at their intersecting point | 8/1 |
| Street | Betting on a row of three numbers by placing your bet at the end of the row | 11/1 |
| Line | Betting on two ‘streets’ of numbers by putting your bet on the line at the end between the two rows | 5/1 |
| Dozen | Betting on the first/second or third 12 boxes which cover 12 numbers each. | 2/1 |
| Column | Betting on a column of numbers by putting your chip in any of the three ‘2 to 1’ boxes cover 12 numbers each like a ‘dozen’ | 2/1 |
| High or Low | Betting on either the ‘1-18’ or ’19-36’ boxes | 1/1 |
| Red or Black | Bet on which coloured number will come up. The house wins when a zero comes up | 1/1 |
| Odd or Even | Betting on whether the number will be odd or even. Again the house wins if a zero comes up | 1/1 |
Of course there are plenty of spin-doctors around who swear by their 'proven' Roulette strategies. For as long as this thrilling game has been around, folks have been devising all sorts of Roulette systems that they claim really work. But do they?
This fascinating game we've all come to love is a game of chance. Period. It is also rather rigid and non-interactive. Although some players may swear by one Roulette strategy or another, and/or some particular Roulette systems, there is really little you can do in terms of strategy, other than try to keep the house edge to a minimum.
Casinos often have special rules, which have a direct effect on the edge. Below, you will find a few of the rules you should be on the lookout for so that you may adjust your Roulette system accordingly.
