Tips on Playing Roulette - How to Play in the CasinoTips on Playing Roulette - How to Play in the Casino
Playing roulette is not as simple as putting down some cash on the table, picking a lucky number and walking away with chips in your pocket (although this is one way to do it). For those gamblers who are thinking about giving the roulette wheel a spin for the first time, as well as winning some real stakes, there are a few things to be aware of beforehand.
First and foremost, bettors should understand there is a difference between American and European Roulette. The American version includes a 00 space on the table, while the European version does not. The European version offers the en prison option which can bring the House Edge down, while the American version - if played according to Atlantic City rules - can cut the House Edge in half. The choice is yours which version you would like to play, although most roulette Aficionado's will advise bettors to stick to European Roulette.
When first approaching the roulette table, you will have an option of sitting at one of six seats. While some seats may be taken, it would be unlikely to not be able to find a seat at the roulette table.
After taking your seat, you will need to obtain chips from the dealer, since the game of roulette requires that each player be assigned different color chips so there is no confusion as to whose bets belongs to who. It is common for roulette players to make several bets at once, which is why having colored chips is a necessity.
Most games of roulette will have a minimum cash-in amount for chips (this does not correlate to a minimum wager requirement). Depending on how much you give the dealer, he will ask you what denomination chips you would like. There is a minimum chip denomination, as well as a minimum stake amount, which is posted at the roulette table (Be sure to look for it, because depending on the casino, the minimum amount may be more than you want to spend on each bet). If, for example, the minimum cash-in value is $40, you will need to give the dealer at least $40 to get started playing. If the minimum stake is $2, the dealer would likely give you twenty $2 chips for a $40 cash-in, although you can request to receive different chip combinations, such as ten $2 chips and four $5 chips.
One last thing to keep in mind is that you should pay attention to the different types of bets, for the minimum stake amounts may vary. For example, outside bets will usually require a different minimum than inside bets.
Lastly, when you are done playing at the roulette table, be sure to cash out your chips, for they will not be redeemable at other games.
