Roulette Tips

Roulette is a casino game of luck and skill which is one of the most popular European gambling games. Roulette involves a spinning wheel with special numbered pockets, a ball thrown into the wheel and a betting table on which chips are placed. Depending in which pocket the ball lands, the player can be payed out between 1:1 and 35:1 on their bets.

Roulette Tips

While roulette is 99,9% a game of chance and there is not much one can do to alter the outcome of the results, below are a number of tips which might make a slight difference:

1. Keep track of the numbers being hit on the roulette wheel. If a number is repeated a few times within 100 spins, the wheel might be biased and this fact could turn the house advantage to the player’s favor.
2. A player should watch out for the ‘dealer’s signature’ which is when the dealer spins the wheel and releases the ball at the same speed and curve at every spin. As long as the metal stops do not deflect the ball too much, a player should be able to predict where the ball will drop.
3. A player should remember to cash in their chips before leaving the table as roulette chips can not be used at other casino games.
4. The five-number bet covering 0,00,1,2,3 is the least profitable of all the bets, with a house advantage of 7.89%.
5. Players should play the European wheel if at all possible because this gives the player more favorable odds than the American wheel.
6. Play with the ‘en prison’ option when offered as this brings down the house edge even more on European wheels.

Finally, one must not challenge the mathematical advantage of the casino. It can never be changed. Loosing money should be thought of as a necessary and acceptable contribution probably for the salaries of casino personnel. After all, a good system has to accept everything.
