Chris Boyd seemed to be the craziest gambler in history. In 1994 he decided to fulfill his dream in the casino of Las Vegas on the Roulette wheel. Chris managed to save up 0,000 and he decided to put it on one spin of the wheel. He searched around Las Vegas for a casino that would actually take his bet. Most casinos refused him. The last casino he visited was Binion’s Horseshoe Club. 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.

The Online Roulette Table is pretty standard and universal. The table consists of 36 numbers, a zero or zeros and all possible bets. Most online roulette games feature exactly the same table. The online Roulette table is green. The only concern with the online roulette table is that there are not too many people playing there because if that is the case and there are simply way too many chips flying around everywhere, not only will it start to get confusing but arguments may break out over which chips belong to whom. It is important to denote that the roulette tables have lower bet limits; a player who doesn't know how to play needs to be aware of them. Like any game Roulette has maximum bet limit, which can de different for different bets. The betting table has two parts: the inside and the outside. A bet on individual numbers or on a combination of numbers is places on the inside table, a bet on non-numeric conditions is placed on the outside table. The inside table. The inside table is simply a table of sequential numbers, 3 columns each representing a dozen. The zero (and double zero for American roulette) can be found above this table, and the column bet fields are below (they technically belong to the outside table). To the right or to the left side of the inside table the outside table can be found. The minimum wager for bets in the inside area are shown on the table itself, and players can make bets lower than this minimum limit. The outside table. The outside table encompasses special bets - there are no numbers in this table. Any bet within the outside table must at least reach the lower table limit. The three squares attached to the inside table represent dozens. Betting on each dozen wins when any number within that dozen is played out. The next row is comprised of three pairs of cubicles. The outer squares are the "high/low bets": you can bet either on low (1 to 18) or high (19 to 36) half of the numbers. The counterpart of high/low is "odd/even": you bet on odd or even numbers respectively. The innermost squares are indeed "red/black": similar to the bets above, you respectively bet on red or black numbers. A "column bet" is a bet on either of three columns of 12 numbers when the chips are placed in the column squares under the number table. Remember that any bet in the outside table excludes zero and double zero. Consider this if you are planning on a strategy.You don't compete with other players. You play against the dealer. 8 players can take part in the game. Players buy in and receive colored chips. All players have chips of different color. If you win a spin, you cash your color chip in for a cash chip of a certain value. The "En Prison" rule. If you place an even money bet and the ball lands on zero, you can either take back your bet or leave it for another spin. You put your bet "in prison" if you decide to leave it for the next spin. The 'La Partage' rule can be applied when you make an outside even money bet and the spinning ball stops on the zero. In this case you lose half of your bet and you are not allowed to use it in the next spin.
