How To Play Roulette

Roulette is an extremely simple game to learn, understand and play. A wheel with numbered pockets mounted inside a sunken "bowl" is spun. The croupier (dealer) then places a small white ball into a groove around the rim of the bowl and puts it to spin in the opposite direction to the spin of the wheel. Gravity eventually causes the ball to fall into the spinning wheel, where it will eventually come to rest in one of the numbered pockets. The winners are those bets that are on or around the numbered pocket that the ball lands and stays in. Also the bets on the outside of the layout win if the winning number is represented. As you can see, it's very simple to understand. So now do you think you know how to play roulette like an expert? Maybe not I think.

All roulette bets are paid after the spin is completed, and all new bets must be made before the next spin. However, players can often continue to make bets right up to the instant before the croupier again drops the white ball and it starts bouncing around the spinning wheel. Just a few moments before the ball is about to drop over the slots, the croupier says 'no more bets'. Then, from then onward, no one is allowed to place or change their bets.
