Learn everything about the Roulette table here!

Roulette is one of the most preferred and loved games among the casino players. The French were the first people to invent this game and this is how the name ’Roulette’ came about which means the ‘little wheel’ in casino language. Roulette is perhaps considered to be the most interesting game, which is why today every famous casino has a Roulette table. People gather around the Roulette table to engage with the game and cheer for the person with high winning chances. The player does not require intensive training or prior experience to enjoy the game of Roulette. All a player has to do is master important tricks and techniques to ace the game.

Due to the game’s popularity, many online gaming operators have introduced different variations of Roulette. Many good online casinos offer Roulette and one such online casino is Winissimo. The Winissimo site can be accessed through mobile phones seamlessly. They offer invigorating live Roulette games that instantly provide the feel of a land-based casino with a dealer comprising of a Roulette table and Roulette wheel. 

Though American and European Roulette seems to be very popular, it is predicted that within the coming years, the popularity of these two variations will slowly decline. However, the gaming companies have introduced two other kinds of variations- the progressive Roulette and the lighting Roulette. The progressive Roulette consists of a jackpot that skyrockets each time the player plays and wins. To create hype, the company puts up a hefty prize at different online casinos so that every player has an equal chance at the jackpot. Lighting Roulette, on the other side, is considered to be the super-lite version of the Roulette game. All the player has to do is choose one number from a group of five numbers. If the ball touches the predicted number, he/she can win up to 500 times worth the stake.

There are not many stark differences between online casinos and land-based casinos in terms of rules and regulations. But unlike in the traditional game where one has to spin the Roulette wheel, the online version does the spinning through the software. In the online version, the player can choose to play the game alone. The online Roulette games have made gambling fun and convenient as the player can engage with the game from within the four walls of the room. 

Roulette tables in American Roulette vs European Roulette

The European Roulette is considered to be better than the American Roulette. That being said there are some differences between the European and American Roulette. The order of numbers is different and there is an addition of one extra pocket i.e. double green zero in the American Roulette wheel. 

The Roulette odds for acing the European game and American game respectively are 35 to 1 and 37 to 1. But the payouts for a win for both the games is 35 to 1. This will take place less in the American game. 

The house edges are relatively smaller for both the games. If the player bets a dollar at the European Roulette table, he loses approximately 1 unit after 37 spins. But in the American Roulette game, the user will lose approximately 2 units after 38 spins. 

Hence, the player loses double the money at the latter game. If the game is predictable, then, it does not matter whether the player chooses the American Roulette or the European Roulette.

There are Roulette computers that foresee the winning numbers. A person should choose a game which has the highest spin factor i.e. the game that produces the highest number of predictable spins.

The role of the Roulette table in  land-based and online casino

In the online Roulette system, there are no live dealers. The player plays by himself against a software managed by the Random Number Generator technology. The job of the software is to do a random selection of numbers. There is no requirement of a Roulette table, a Roulette wheel or a ball.

The Random Number Generator consists of a special algorithm that displays a value between 0 to 4 billion. These values are converted into numbers that match with the numbers on the Roulette wheel.

If the player has to play at an actual Roulette table with a dealer spinning the Roulette wheel, then, he has to visit a land-based casino or try his hand at a live dealer Roulette game at online casinos.

Choosing hot bets or cold bets

At the Roulette table, placing hot bets is considered to be a favourable option as there are higher chances of winning the game. 

There are online casinos which have a list of hot and cold numbers. The numbers are generated based on how many times they have been called out against the total number of spins. The hot numbers are usually called for 20 times for 300 spins.

Unlike the hot numbers, the cold ones are rarely called out. The players just place cold bets because they think the numbers are due to be called out. 

Placing adjacent bets

The player can now place bets adjacent to the hot and cold numbers at the Roulette table. These are called adjacent bets. 

The player can try his hands at different kinds of bets. The exotic bet, also known as the Voisins Du Zero, includes 17 adjacent numbers with zero in the middle. 

The Orphelins bet is the one which includes eight numbers, split into two categories (three and five) on the Roulette wheel.

The players are also suggested to place a bet called Tiers Du Cylindre bet, where he has to place a bet on one-third of the wheel.

Understanding Inside and Outside bets

Before playing the Roulette, the player has to understand the Roulette table well. In the Roulette table outline, numbers are starting from zero to thirty-six. On the outside, there are sectors which consist of groups of numbers which includes odd or even, red or black, 1/18 or 19/36, columns and dozens. When the player places a bet on the numbers they are called inside bets. Outside bets are those that are placed on the sectors.

There are seven kinds of inside bets. A straight bet includes one number. Split is a bet placed on the two adjacent numbers on the Roulette table. The street is a bet placed on three consecutive numbers in the same line. The sixth lane is a bet placed on numbers located in adjacent lines. When the player places a bet on a corner of four numbers, it is called a corner bet. The trio is a bet which includes zero as one of the numbers. Basket is a bet where the player bets on number 0,1, 2 and 3.

The outside bets are of five types. The Red or black is when the player bets on the colour of the number. Odd or even is betting on a winning number that is odd or even. The 1/18 or 19/36 is when the player bets on a number which is lower or higher than 18. Dozen is placing a bet on one of the three dozen numbers located on the Roulette table layout. The column is a bet which is placed on one of the three columns containing the winning number.

Utilising winning strategies

This is perhaps the only game where the player can test and apply different strategies for winning the game. However, there is no one strategy that promises a win. The most common is the Martingale strategy. The Martingale strategy states that after every loss, the player can increase the bet so that when he wins the game, he can retrieve all the lost money and start the game with the initial amount. But there is not one fixed strategy. Choosing the right one depends on the game, the payouts and the spin factors. 

Just like any other casino game, Roulette has betting limits. Depending on the bankroll and the gaming strategy, the player has to make careful gambling decisions.
