This is a game of luck. Roulette chips look different from other casino game chips since the different colors are used by the roulette dealer or croupier to indicate the player's different bets.
Roulette gambling is based on mathematics, which means that the European roulette game (with one zero) is going to give the player better odds than the American roulette game with two zeros. The roulette wheel ball falls into a pocket and the croupier clears off the online roulette chips and pays out the online roulette winnings. Players will place their roulette chips on a number or a range of numbers.
How to Play Roulette
Online casino roulette wheels contain numbers 1 through 36, and 0 and 00. When the roulette ball falls into 0 or 00, all outside bets are lost. 'Inside bets' are bets placed on a number or set of numbers within the roulette table - on the number layout or on the border. The edges of the table are for 'Outside Bets'.
The House Advantage
In American roulette/38-pocket roulette wheel, where there is both 0 and 00, the House Advantage is 5.26%
In European roulette/37-pocket roulette wheel, where these is only 0, the House Advantage is 2.7%
'En Prison' rule
Some casinos use this French rule to allow players who have lost their money on an even money bet to recoup it on the next spin. Players have the option to take back 50% of their bet or leave the roulette bet as if it is 'in prison' for another round of roulette. If the next spin is again zero, the bet money is lost.
'La Partage' rule
This rule, meaning ‘partition’, specifies that players lose half their bet if the winning number is a zero. They don’t have the option of leaving the bet again ‘en prison’ for the next spin.
