The craziest casino story is that of Chris Boyd. In 1994 he decided to fulfill his dream in the casino of Las Vegas on the Roulette wheel. Chris had saved 0,000 over a three year period, and wanted to put it all on one spin of the wheel. He searched around Las Vegas for a casino that would actually take his 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 chose 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 the bright lights of Las Vegas. They book their room in the Flamingo, see some shows, and bet money on the roulette. However, many people might not be able to afford to go to Vegas right now. 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. The biased wheel gives you an opportunity to overcome the house’s advantage. 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. Try to avoid 5 number bets, as it has the least profitable payback of all the bets. 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. If you play the European Roulette and make the even outside bet use the Surrender option. Never spend more than you have planned to.
