Roulette Bets.
Some casinos have special rules.
In Prison/En prison
In case the ball stops at zero slot, the croupier will not collect red/black, odd/even and first half/last half bets, they will stay on the table - in other words they are in prison. The players can win their original bet back during the next spin;if their bet wins they get their original bets back without additional gain. If the ball should land on zero once again the bets will remain in prison one more spin and so on. As this special rule reduced the casinos edge, it's greatly to the advantage for the players.
La Partage
In case the ball stops at zero slot, the croupier will not fully collect red/black, odd/even and first half/last half bets. Only half of the players’ bets will be collected - the rest will be returned to the players. La Partage rule reduces the casinos edge to 1. 35 percent as well as In Prison rule. |
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. When the wheel stops, the ball stops in one of the slots. The object of European Roulette is to correctly predict the slot in which the ball will stop. The player wins if he has predicted the number right. The winning amount is dependable on the bet and the bet amount.

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. Street Bet is a bet placed at the end of any row of numbers. A street bet covers three numbers. Corner Bet is a bet at the corner where four numbers meet. Corner bet covers four numbers. Line Bet is a bet at the end of two rows at the intersection between them. A line bet covers all the numbers in either row, for a total of six.

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 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. A biased wheel is one of only two true opportunities to overcome the casino's advantage. You must buy in chips before playing roulette and exchange the colored chips for regular casino chips when leaving the Roulette table. When choosing a bet, try to avoid 5 number bets as the payback with these bets is much lower. 7,89 is the house edge of 5 number bets. If you choose between European and American Roulette, then play European Roulette as here you have more chances of winning. Don’t forget about the Surrender option, which is available in European Roulette. When playing any game you must always stick to your own bank roll.
