The craziest casino story is that of Chris Boyd. In January of 1994, Chris followed his dream to the casinos of Las Vegas for the ultimate roulette spin. Chris had 0,000 and he wanted to bet it on one spin of the wheel. It took him much time to find in Las Vegas a casino, in which he could place such a bet. Having got refusals in most of the casinos Chris went to Binion’s Horseshoe Club, which was the last casino he visited. The maximum bet available was 0,000, but the casino let him make a 0,000 bet. 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.

| Playing Roulette Rules.
As a gambler you know that when playing Roulette there is a certain period of time in which you can make bets. In between each spin of the wheel, the dealer normally gives all of the bettors about 60 seconds to place their bets. Players have a few seconds after the dealer spins the wheel. No more bets can be made after the dealer says “no more bets”. When the balls drops into a slot on the roulette wheel, the dealer will place a marker on the table that corresponds with the slot that the ball dropped into. Then the dealer removes all the losing bets from the table. Then the winning bets are paid off and the dealer removes the market from the Roulette table. Chips can be touched after the spinning ball has stopped. Try to be polite and courteous. Be respectful to other players and to the dealer (even if you lose). You can give the dealer a tip after every 10th spin. And also, have a fun time playing roulette, but don't get too excitable or drunk, as nobody enjoys a person elbowing them or screaming in their ear. |
Spinning a ball on a round wheel is the main feature of the game of Roulette. There are thirty-seven slots on the wheel, all the slots are numbered. The spinning ball lands in one of the numbered pockets after the wheel stops. The player is to predict the number of the pocket in which the ball will land. The player wins if he has predicted the number right. The size of your winning depends on how the bet was placed.

Above the game menu you can see a history table, in which the results of the previous winnings are shown. There are three different colored numbers in the history table. The Yellow numbers mean that they belong to the Black set of numbers, the Red numbers - to the Red set of numbers and the Green colored number is '0'. You can spin the wheel without putting a bet on the table by pressing the "Pass" button. You can place eight different kinds of bets on the European Roulette table. Each type of bet covers a certain range of numbers. Each bet has its own payoff rate. Rows are short lines of three numbers each. Columns are long lines with twelve numbers each. There exist inside and outside bets. Inside bets are made on the numbered space or on the lines between them. Outside bets are made on the special boxes below and to the right of the board. Straight Up bet is a bet on any single number (including zero). Split Bet is a bet on the line between any two numbers, here 0-1, 0-2, 0-3 combinations are not allowed.

Dealer signature is when an experienced dealer spins the roulette wheel and releases the ball with approximately the same speed and trajectory consistently from spin to spin. 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 you watch the game and notice that the number has repeated within 100 spins you must use this chance as you are more likely to deal with a biased wheel and turn it to your advantage. The biased wheel gives you an opportunity to overcome the house’s advantage. You must buy in chips before playing roulette and exchange the colored chips for regular casino chips when leaving the Roulette table. Never make 5 number bets as they have the least profitable payback. 7,89 is the house edge of 5 number bets. 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. And always try to manage your money.
