THE HISTORY
Roulette
has been around for hundreds of years in some form or another. Its origins
stretch back to the end of the
17th
century when French inventor Blaise Pascal accidentally constructed the
wheel for the game whilst studying probabilities on his search to create a
perpetual motion machine.
In 1843 it was fellow Frenchmen
François and Louis Blanc who developed this invention into a single
zero-styled wheel that we now recognise as the classic European Roulette wheel.
The game has evolved over the centuries and even here in the 21st century the
game is still evolving thanks to the rise of the smartphone generation and the
growing popularity in mobile-based gaming.
BASIC PLAY
For
those just starting out with the game learning
how to play roulette will
be happy to know that the basics are very straightforward. Whilst the wheel is
spinning and the dealer holds the ball each player must place his or her bet(s)
on the roulette table.
The table itself is made up of a grid of numbers
that represent each numbered pocket on the wheel; these are known as
‘inside bets’.
Along with this there are other blocks that
give you the chance to place alternative type bets, such as whether the number
the ball ends up on with be odd or even, coloured red or black and so forth;
these are known as ‘outside bets’.
The dealer will call
“no more bets” and drop the ball into the spinning wheel which will
eventually come to rest in one of the pockets. Each winning payout is based on
the odds of the ball landing on that number or colour.
INSIDE
BETS
When you start
talking about odds you may feel a little overwhelmed but once
you familiarise yourself with the procedure of play you’ll soon get to
grips with the process. Inside bets are made on a single number or a
combination of numbers shown on the board.
There are various ways to
place these types of bets. They can be placed directly on a number, across
adjacent numbers or alongside a row of certain numbers to incorporate a
combination of numbers for a bet.
OUTSIDE BETS
Many people
opt for outside bets due to their reasonable pay-out rates, despite having a
higher probability of winning. These types of bets include many 50-50 options
such as red/black, odd/even or high/low.
You also have the chance to
select a dozen bet (which includes 3 sections of 12 numbers), a column bet
(which also includes 12 numbers) and also a snake bet (which also acts as a
12-number bet which snakes across the betting table. |
