The Basics of Roulette
The name of this game actually means Little Wheel in French, and the essentials of this game are tabled upon which bets are placed, a wheel and ball. The wheel is spun, and then the ball is dropped onto it. Before the wheel stops turning, you need to place a bet on where you think they ball will be when the wheel comes to rest.
Different areas of the table are reserved for different wagers, and the wheel is divided into a number of segments. These are alternately coloured in red and blue and numbered from 1 to 36. An extra green panel labelled 0 and, in the American version, another labelled 00 make up the rest of the wheel. The American version is a little more challenging, since with the extra 00 the odds are tipped more in the house’s favour. You can bet on whether the ball will land on an odd or even number, or on a red or black panel.
There are also more specific bets involving different groups of numbers that the ball might land on and even involving the specific number of the panel where the ball will end up. The more specific you are, the higher your odds and the greater your risk – but the greater your reward as well. This is often too exciting for the thrill-seeking players in New Zealand to resist!
Tips for playing roulette online
When you play roulette online for real money, basic strategy can increase your enjoyment of the game. One tip is to know your variants. French roulette has rules that can work in your favour. For example, with the “en prison” rule, if you place an even-money bet and the ball lands in the “0” position, your bet is carried over to the next spin, and you get your money back if you win. The “la partage” rule allows you to keep half your bet if the ball lands on 0. Another tip is to use a column-betting method: Red or black, odd or even, high or low. The house edge is much lower with these outside bets, so you can preserve your bankroll. Speaking of which, the most important tip for the online roulette game is to keep eye on your finance. Set a budget for your games and never bet more than you can afford to lose.
