The most famous roulette story has to be that of Chris Boyd, a 40 year-old computer programmer from England. In January of 1994, Chris followed his dream to the casinos of Las Vegas for the ultimate roulette spin. Chris managed to save up 0,000 and he decided to put it on one spin of the wheel. It wasn’t very easy to find a casino that would let him make such a huge bet. Having got refusals in most of the casinos Chris went to Binion’s Horseshoe Club, which was the last casino he visited. The Horseshoe Club had a limit of 0,000 on a red/black bet, but they agreed to accept his wager. The casino also agreed to block out the double-zero on the wheel as this didn’t exist in the European version of the game that Chris was used to playing. Chris decided to place his bet on red. The casino and the dealer agreed to a few practice spins to ensure that full fairness for everyone concerned, and then the big spin came. The ball landed in number 7, red. Chris won 0,000 instantly, and asked for the money to be put into the casinos cage, and vowed never to gamble again.

Some people like Las Vegas. The glitz. The glamor. The shows. The restaurants. They book their room in the Flamingo, fly down, see some shows, eat at the Vegas buffets, and bet a little money on the roulette. However, many people might not be able to afford to go to Vegas. And what if you are bored one night, and want to play some roulette, right there and right now? When an experienced dealer spins the Roulette wheel and releases the ball with approximately the same speed it is called the dealer signature. As long as there is little or no deflection from the metal stops on the roulette wheel it is possible to predict where the ball will drop. If a number repeats often within 100 spins you may have found a biased wheel that can turn the house advantage around to your favor. If you want to overcome the casino’s advantage then the biased wheel is your chance. There are special chips for playing the game of Roulette. The chips have to be bought before playing the game. Don’t forget to exchange you Roulette chips for regular casino chips before you leave the Roulette table. When choosing a bet, try to avoid 5 number bets as the payback with these bets is much lower. 5 number bets have the house edge of 7. 89 percent. Never play American Roulette as 00 decreases your chances of winning. European Roulette is more in your favor. When playing European Roulette don’t forget about the Surrender option. Never spend more than you have planned to.
