Card roulette game rules. Rules for playing roulette in an accessible language for beginners

What is the difference between European, French and American roulette from each other

Hello friends, today I will post a rather voluminous post, probably even an article, which will bring together all the most important things about roulette. For example, history, varieties of this wonderful game, rules and other things that will help you play roulette correctly. In general, roulette can be considered a pillar game that is present in all casinos, no casino, especially offline casino, allows itself to bypass this table game.

In general, in order to fully understand the game, you need to immerse yourself in it "with your head", studying the rules of the game, the history of its creation, how it evolved and entered the lives of different countries. Without this, it is difficult to learn anything seriously at all, and it is interesting to know all the historical figures who stand behind it. It seems to me to keep in mind that this game was created by someone and people who no longer exist, created and improved roulette, in the process of playing, creates unique emotional state, which adds to the pleasant sensations, except for the game itself.

Where can I play online roulette

Almost all casino games do not know exactly where they came from, because they are the work of different civilizations, in my opinion. But in general, there are a couple of theories for roulette where the progenitor of modern roulette was created:

• Some historians believe that roulette appeared in China
• Most believe that the roulette was created in France, Paris
• A small part believes that the Roman Empire had a hand too

Versions of origin

If we consider the Chinese version of the origin, then there is evidence that the Chinese monks loved a roulette-like game that the Dominican monks liked and they borrowed it for themselves. Chinese and Dominican monks were in trade relations. Therefore, this version cannot be ruled out.

If we assume that the Roman Empire could create such a game, I would not be surprised either, because culture, science and military art were, even at that time, at their best. After all, everyone remembers the size of the empire and those majestic buildings that were created at that time. They are building something like this right now. It is speculated that the soldiers used a chariot wheel for gambling among themselves, occupying their leisure.

I will consider in more detail the European option, which I consider the most likely, although I do not exclude China with the Roman Empire either, there is simply little evidence that they were involved in this. According to this version, roulette was invented by the genius of his time Blaise Pascal, V 1655. It is worth mentioning right away that he did not engage in gambling purposefully, he was only interested in the theory of probability and the mechanics of the motion of a perpetual motion machine.

Blaise Pascal(Blaise Pascal, June 19, 1623, Clermont-Ferrand, France - August 19, 1662, Paris, France) - French mathematician, mechanic, physicist, writer and philosopher. A classic of French literature, one of the founders of mathematical analysis, probability theory and projective geometry, the creator of the first samples of counting technology, the author of the basic law of hydrostatics.

So how does he did you get a roll? And everything is simple! Pascal built a device similar to a tape measure from improvised means and put numbers on it in order to record the theoretical results of the experiment. This is how science works :) And already cunning, as you can say now, managers monetized this scientific research, so successfully that the whole world still admires it.

By the way, this device consisted of cylinders and was called roulette before "hoka". If we consider the pros and cons of this version, then Roulette is translated from French as “a small wheel”, which speaks in favor of France.

A bit of mysticism

Church leaders believed that the roulette wheel was created by the devil or with his participation, because the sum of all the numbers in it is 666 . People used to be so superstitious, so there was a lot of interest in her. Well, if I lived in those days, I would probably also be interested in this game, what else to do and how to entertain myself ?!

Roulette device

Let's consider what elements the notorious roulette consists of in order to understand the mechanics of the game and how to interact with it.

The main element of the game is the wheel, which should be no more than 90 cm in diameter and no more than 40 kg in weight. The tape measure must be perfectly balanced and technically executed in order to give an even distribution of results, without distortion.

The wheel itself contains 37 or 38 sectors (depending on the version) with printed numbers. Of these, 1 or 2 sectors are green, 18 sectors are black and 18 are red. The colors must alternate with each other in a special way, which depends on the version of the roulette.

Betting field

The table or betting area may vary in size and designation, but in general it is the area where players place their bets. The betting field consists of numbers from 0 (00) to 36 (37). All numbers are grouped into three rows of 12 numbers, each row consists of three numbers.

In addition, the playing field is divided into 2 types:

1. Inner field These are bets on specific numbers or a group of numbers. For example, a bet on 2 numbers at once (Split).
2. External field- these are additional fields that surround the field with numbers, for example, Even / Odd, Red / Black, etc.

Accordingly, bets on these fields are also divided into external and internal bets.

Roulette device in online casino

As for the online casino, everything is done here, of course, in the form of graphics and animation. A number falls out using an RNG or a random number generator that is built into the casino software. The betting field is similar to the real one and you can place bets on it in the same way.

Rules of the game

Knowing what elements the roulette consists of, rules of the game it becomes outrageously simple. The game involves a player and a croupier (if it is not an online casino, it is a regular non-live roulette). The croupier starts spinning the roulette and a little later, when bets are made, he launches the ball in the opposite direction. After some time, the ball goes into the cell with the number, after which the round is considered completed.

The main task of the player guess what number or a color or group of numbers will come up, making a bet. What kind of bets a player can make will be considered already in specific types of roulette, because they are different. Well, the paytable will also be considered in the same way. In general, I think the rules are clear.

Varieties of roulette

We will try to consider all types of roulettes, of which there have been enough accumulated over so many years, especially in the era of the Internet, when roulette is modernized and takes on wonderful forms. Good la-la, let's start storming these roulettes!

European Roulette (European Roulette)

This type of roulette appeared thanks to the French Francois and Louis Blanc, who 1842 added a green element to the classic roulette wheel 0 (zero). European roulette is perhaps one of the most popular games on our continent. The wheel contains 37 cells, of which the numbers 1-36 and zero. Rules of the game have a classic look, only the betting field and the wheel contain one zero (0) .

The player can place a bet on any number, group of numbers, characteristic (for example, black or white, even or odd) or special rules En Prison And La Partage(we will talk about these rates separately). Oral bets in European roulette are not always available and not everywhere :)

The wheel in European roulette looks like this:

Bets in European Roulette

Column Bet bets differ in that the player places the chip on the right side on one of the three columns 2to1. Each column consists of 12 numbers. Thus, the following columns of numbers are available for betting, without zero:

1. 3 6 9 12 15 18 21 24 27 30 33 36
2. 2 5 8 11 14 17 20 23 26 29 32 35
3. 1 4 7 10 13 16 19 22 25 28 31 34

This type of bet is available at the bottom of the betting field and is marked as 1st 12, 2nd 12 and 3rd 12. The bet contains the first, middle and last 12 numbers in each block. One of the most popular bets among players. We list which numbers are included in each of the areas:

1. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
2. 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24
3. 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36

This, like the previous bets, are considered outside, i.e. the bet is not made on the field itself, this type of bet is considered on equal chances(50% win and 50% loss, excluding zero). The entire field of 36 elements, except for zero, is divided into black And red cells on which you can bet. Very often, players on the martingale system like to bet on Black / Red ().

Here All numbers with black and red:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36

Bet on even or odd It’s not worth explaining too much, I think everyone already knows what it is. Although for those who have forgotten, it is probably worth recalling. Even numbers are numbers that are divisible by 2, the rest are odd. For example, a series of even numbers: 2, 4, 8, 10, etc. On the playing field are indicated as Odd And even.

Just in case, I'll throw it away complete division of numbers into even/odd:

1. 1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 17 19 21 23 25 27 29 31 33 35
2. 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 26 28 30 32 34 36

This type of bet is terribly simple, it also has an “equal chances” type, which makes these bets interesting for various systems and strategies. The field is virtually divided into two sectors. The first sector includes numbers from 1 to 18, and the second sector - from 19 to 36. The designation on the betting field is simple - 1to18 And 19to36.

This type of bet (Big/Small) contains the following separation numbers:

1. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18
2. 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36

The number bet is highest paid roulette bet, i.e. betting on a number, you can win the largest amount per round due to high payout ratios. You can bet on any number, even zero. To do this, you need to put a chip on this number. This is an inside bet, because it is placed directly on the game table with numbers.

Here is the list all possible bets on the number:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 0

This bet allows you to bet on two adjacent numbers, for example 10 7 . To make this bet, you need to place a chip on the dividing line between two numbers. This type of bet has 2 times less winnings, if your bet is playing, well, it's understandable.

As the name implies, we are talking about a bet on 3 numbers at once, and you can bet on those numbers that are in the same column. In total, the playing field is represented by 12 columns on which you can bet chips. Three numbers bet is an inside bet. The payout of the winnings is 3 times lower than the single number bet.

Let's list all possible columns with rates on Three numbers:

1. 1 2 3
2. 4 5 6
3. 7 8 9
4. 10 11 12
5. 13 14 15
6. 16 17 18
7. 19 20 21
8. 22 23 24
9. 25 26 27
10. 28 29 30
11. 31 32 33
12. 34 35 36

The Four Numbers bet is an inside bet and allows you to place a bet on 4 numbers at once. To place it, you need to place the chip at the intersection of four cells. It is paid 4 times lower than the rate on One number. In total, 22 combinations of such bets are available. I think you will find them without any problems, because the problem is for grade 3 :)

The Sixline bet is almost no different from the previous bets, it is also an inside bet and is made immediately to 6 numbers on the playing field. In total, 11 combinations of these bets are possible. We do everything by analogy with the bet Three numbers (Street Bet).

Table of all bets and their types for European roulette

This table can be useful not to look at the pictures for each bet, but just to look at the name and understand what's what. Well, mostly for convenience. I hope you read what was above and saw how long the listing of all bets is, maybe even the finger that scrolls on the mouse or on a mobile device gets tired :)

№	Rate name	Rate Description

3	—
4	— Odd/Even. For example, even.
5	1to18 or 19to36. For example big ones.

If we analyze all bets, it can be noted that in some casinos in European roulette sometimes there are oral rates, but this is very rare, more often they are used in French roulette, which we will consider a little later in the text. In addition to this, there is special rules, which increase the chances of winning, i.e. reduce the advantage of the casino over the player, but these rules are also a little lower.

European Roulette Paytable

To understand what kind of winnings you can get if you guess the bet, there is special payout table. Now let's put our table together to represent the winning amount for a certain bet.

№	Rate name	Payout ratio	Winning at a bet of 100€
Inside Bet
1	35 to 1	3500€
2	17 to 1	1700€
3	11 to 1	1100€
4	8 to 1	800€
5	5 to 1	500€

2	2 to 1	200€
3	1 to 1	100€
4	1 to 1	100€
5	1 to 1	100€

As you can see, European roulette has an interesting balance of risk and opportunity to win.

American Roulette

American roulette, as the name implies, originated in the United States. its history is not very remarkable. After Francois and Louis Blanc introduced 0 (zero) into roulette, roulette went around the world and gained popularity in the USA, including around the beginning 1800s, establishments in the USA added an additional cell 00 (double zero) to the roulette, which naturally increased the advantage of the casino over the players. The game was brought in in the late 1700s by French immigrants who were kicking ass from the French Revolution. Most of them, escaping, rushed to the south of the United States, to the state of Louisiana.

Initially, the game generally had two zeros and only 28 numbers, with a house edge of 12% or more. But such extortionate interest did not last long, including due to the competition of gambling houses.

As we already understood, American roulette is practically a copy of European roulette, but only with a number of features:

• The cells with numbers on the wheel are located in a slightly different order, you can see exactly how below
• Roulette contains an additional cell 00 (double zero)
• The presence of an additional bet on 5 numbers (Five Bet).
• No special rules La Partage, En Prison, but some have a rule Surrender
• No call rates
• The playing field has been changed, it will be seen a little lower when it comes to betting

Roulette itself in the American version looks like this:

American roulette bets

This type of bet is made on 3 blocks, consisting of 12 numbers that are on the same term. In order to place a bet, one must place a chip on the field, which is usually called 2to1. There are 3 possible lines you can bet on:

1. 3 6 9 12 15 18 21 24 27 30 33 36
2. 2 5 8 11 14 17 20 23 26 29 32 35
3. 1 4 7 10 13 16 19 22 25 28 31 34

This is a bet on 12 numbers at once. In order to place a bet on the Dozen, you need to place chips on the area 1st 12, 2nd 12 or 3rd 12. A total of 3 betting options are possible, i.e. 3 areas:

1. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
2. 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24
3. 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36

The bet on Black/Red is a bet on equal chances, which can be conditionally considered 50 to 50 (conditionally, because there are two sectors on the wheel 0 and 00, which reduce the chances). To place a bet, you need to place chips on the black or red area at the bottom of the gaming table (outside bet). Here is the list all digits with black and red on the roulette:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36

Even or Odd (Even/Odd for short) is a bet on equal chances, which is placed on numbers that are divisible by 2 (even) and those that are not divisible (odd). The bet is outside and to make it you need to put chips on the field Odd or even.

Consider all the cells, dividing them into odd (1) and even (2):

1. 1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 17 19 21 23 25 27 29 31 33 35
2. 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 26 28 30 32 34 36

This type of bet conditionally divides all game cells (except 0 and 00) into 2 types - Big numbers and Small numbers. Small numbers include all cells from 1 to 18, and large numbers - from 19 to 36. To place a bet, you need to place chips on the fields 1to18 or 19to36.

This type of bet applies to external bets and the playing field divided in the following way:

1. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18
2. 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36

The number bet is the most classic bet in all roulettes and the American version. To place a bet, you need to place a chip on any number. A bet on a number is an inside bet.

We list all the cells on the roulette and the playing field, on which you can bet Straight Up:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 0 00

A bet on Two numbers allows you to close two numbers with one bet, for example, you can bet on 20 23 . To place a Split bet, you need to place a game chip on the vertical or horizontal borders of two numbers.

A bet on three numbers allows you to close one column of numbers on the playing field at once. Straight - is an internal bet and it can be placed by placing chips on the lower border (outer field of numbers) of the column. There are 12 columns in total:

1. 1 2 3
2. 4 5 6
3. 7 8 9
4. 10 11 12
5. 13 14 15
6. 16 17 18
7. 19 20 21
8. 22 23 24
9. 25 26 27
10. 28 29 30
11. 31 32 33
12. 34 35 36

Corner or Angle are bets on 4 adjacent numbers well, it is my favorite bet (the inside bet). Why beloved? Because in this bet the probability of winning 3 times increases compared to the bet on the number. To make such a bet, you need to place a chip at the intersection of all four numbers. There are 22 options for this bet in total.

The bet is made on 5 numbers (3 regular numbers and 2 zeros) at the same time and is typical only for American roulette. To make this bet, you need to place a chip at the intersection of columns with numbers 1, 2, 3 with 0 and 00.

The bet is made on the numbers:

1 2 3 0 00

Bet on 6 cells is also an inside rate. It is essentially a double street. To make this bet, you need to place a chip on the lower border of the intersection of two adjacent columns with 3 cells. The picture shows. A total of 11 such bets are available.

Some establishments in the US may have oral bets and announced special rules, but we will describe them a little later, separately from all, so as not to mislead players.

American Roulette Paytable

For a beginner, it is very useful to familiarize yourself with the table, which allows you to see the amount of winnings if your bet is playing. It is usually called table Payout.

The bets in American roulette have almost the same payout ratio as in European roulette, which means that this version of the game is unprofitable for the player due to 00.

French roulette

French roulette, in its current form, appeared in Europe around the end of 16th early 17th century, gaining success among casino players of the period. It is safe to say that this is exactly the original version of roulette, which was invented and began to change in different countries. Those. European and American roulette are an improved version of French roulette.

The main difference from European roulette and American roulette:

• The playing field has a different look
• Notation of rates in French
• Changed the location of cells on the roulette wheel
• Added oral bets with an additional field
• Presence of special rules

The roulette wheel looks like this:

Bets in European Roulette

This is a classic column bet. To bet on a column in French roulette, you need to place chips on an empty field opposite the column. The column contains 12 numbers and has 3 betting options:

1. 3 6 9 12 15 18 21 24 27 30 33 36

Dozen is a bet on 12 numbers divided into 3 sectors. To place a bet in French roulette, you need to place a chip on the area P, M or D located at the top and bottom of the field on the right. There are 3 types of bets available:

1. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
2. 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24
3. 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36

This is a bet on equal chances, as in other types of roulette. You need to guess what color the cell will be black or red. To place bets, you need to place a chip on the black or red area, which are located above and below.

I will present below All red and black numbers:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36

A bet on even or odd numbers is a bet on equal chances and is also an outside bet. To place a bet, you need to throw chips on the area Imapir And Pair. This bet is identical to other versions of roulette. But still, I’ll throw off the division of numbers into even / odd again:

1. 1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 17 19 21 23 25 27 29 31 33 35
2. 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 26 28 30 32 34 36

Betting on large and small numbers is a bet on equal chances, i.e. conditionally 50 to 50. The field for making a bet is on the outside (so this is an outside bet) - chips must be placed on the fields Manque And passe.

Here is how the numbers are divided into small (manque) (1) and large (passe) (2):

1. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18
2. 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36

The single cell bet is the classic inside bet that has the highest payout ratio. It is on such bets that you can win a lot. To place these bets, simply place your chips on specific numbers or numbers.

I will list all the numbers that you can bet on:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 0

This is a bet on the inner field with numbers. The bet is made by placing a chip on the vertical or horizontal border of two adjacent numbers. For example on 13 16 .

A bet on 3 numbers is an inside bet and is a column of numbers. In total, 12 columns of 3 numbers are available for betting. To place a bet, you need to place a chip on the bottom border of the column.

Here are all the columns for the bet:

1. 1 2 3
2. 4 5 6
3. 7 8 9
4. 10 11 12
5. 13 14 15
6. 16 17 18
7. 19 20 21
8. 22 23 24
9. 25 26 27
10. 28 29 30
11. 31 32 33
12. 34 35 36

The En Carre bet in Russian is a bet on 4 numbers or square, corner, etc. The bet is made by placing a chip at the intersection of four adjacent numbers. A total of 22 betting options are available.

Transversal Simple (Six numbers or Six numbers)

This is an inside bet on six numbers. The bet consists of adjacent double columns of three numbers. To place a bet, you need to put a chip on the lower border of the intersection of two columns of 3 numbers. Total Available 11 such columns.

What is the difference between European, French and American roulette

This question is asked by a huge number of players, because it is really interesting to know. Let's try to consider differences and similarities all three roulettes in the form of a table, because this is the most obvious.

Differences and similarities between roulettes
Parameter for comparison	European	American	french
Number of cells on the wheel	36	37	36
The presence of zero	Zero	Zero and Double Zero	Zero
Special rules	La Partage	Surrender	En Prison
Casino Advantage	2,7%	5,26%	2,7%
Oral bets	Can be	No	Available
playing field	Standard	Standard	Additional track for call bets
Non-standard rates	No	Five numbers	Oral bets

Verbal and announced bets (Announces or Call Bets)

Immediately without departing from the cashier, we will separate these two types of bets (oral and announced [declared]) and find out what is the difference between them. Oral Bets start playing immediately after the player has voiced them. If we consider announced bets, then they must be backed up with chips so that it is considered completed.

Call and announced bets can be placed only in European and French roulette.

The cells on the roulette wheel are divided into 3 sectors:

• Voisins du Zero
• Tier du Cylindre
• Orphans or Orphelins

However, many owners of establishments make an additional playing field for call bets, which is called "track", because of its shape.

Let us consider in more detail all the bets that can be made orally or announced. There are a lot of them and they have French names, so it's better to save all the information somewhere. so that you can refresh your memory at any time. Let me remind you that these bets are relevant for European Roulette and French Roulette.

Voisins du Zero translates as “neighbors of zero” and means a bet on the numbers next to zero (on roulette or track). Here is a list of these cells 22, 18, 29, 7, 28, 12, 35, 3, 26, 0, 32, 15, 19, 4, 21, 2 and 25. The bet is made using nine chips. Two chips go to bet on 3 numbers 0/2/3 and four numbers 25/26/28/29. Then one chip per split: 4/7, 12/15, 18/21, 19/22, 32/25.

Let's put it all together in a table:

Jeu Zéro/Zéro Spiel (Game Zero or Zero Spiel)

Bid Jeu Zero translates as “zero game” and is done on 7 numbers, 6 numbers next to zero and zero itself. The bet is worth 4 chips because 1 chip is placed on three splits 0/3, 12/15, 32/35 and 1 chip on number 26. In table form it would look like this:

Bid Tier du Cylindre is made on 1/3 of the wheel numbers (12 pcs.) and includes 27, 13, 36, 11, 30, 8, 23, 10, 5, 24, 16, 33. The bet costs 6 chips, 1 chip for the next 6 splits : 5/8, 10/11, 13/16, 23/24, 27/30, 33/36.

The rate table will look like this:

Bid Orphelins translated as “orphan”, because this bet includes all those numbers that did not fall into the bet Tier du Cylindre And Voisins du Zero. This bet includes the numbers 1, 6, 9, 14, 17, 20, 31 and 34. This bet has two varieties: the Cheval bet, which costs 5 chips, and the Single Number bet (Plein), which costs 8 chips.

Orphelins en Cheval

Bid Orphelins en Cheval bet on the numbers 1, 6, 9, 14, 17, 20, 31 and 34. The bet is 4 chips, 1 chip per pair: 6/9, 14/17, 17/20 and 31/34. The rate table will look like this:

Orphelins in Plein

Bid Orphelins in Plein is made on the same numbers 1, 6, 9, 14, 17, 20, 31 and 34, only the size of the bet is 8 chips, since a bet is made on each number for 1 chip. Rate table:

The Finales bet can be placed on all roulette numbers. The announced numbers ending with a number from 0 to 9 (Finales en Plein) participate in the bet. Or another option, when the number contains 2 announced digits (Finales a Cheval). The example considers the Finales 3 variant.

Finales en Plein (Last digit)

Bid Finales in Plein is done with the participation of all numbers of the playing field. Those numbers that end with the announced number participate in the bet. for example in the case Finales 3 a bet is placed on numbers 3, 13, 23 and 33 for 1 chip. The value of the bet is 4 (Finales Zero to Finales 6) or 3 chips (for Finales 7, Finales 8 and Finales 9). Consider all betting options:

Finales in Plein
№	Name of the bet	Rates	Chips, pieces
1	Finales en Plein Zero	0, 10, 20, 30	4
2	Finales en Plein 1	1, 11, 21, 31	4
3	Finales en Plein 2	2, 12, 22, 32	4
4	Finales en Plein 3	3, 13, 23, 33	4
5	Finales in Plein 4	4, 14, 24, 34	4
6	Finales in Plein 5	5, 15, 25, 35	4
7	Finales en Plein 6	6, 16, 26, 36	4
8	Finales en Plein 7	7, 17, 27	3
9	Finales en Plein 8	8, 18, 28	3
10	Finales en Plein 9	9, 19, 29	3

In the table, we will analyze an example for 4 chips, for example, Finales 3.

Finales a Cheval (Last pair of digits)

Bid Finales a Cheval is a combination that contains numbers ending in the selected two digits. For example, the Finales 3/4 bet will contain the numbers 3, 4, 13, 14, 23, 24, 33 and 34. The number of chips depends on the chosen combination of numbers and is 3, 4, 5 or 6 chips.

Let's make a table of all betting options:

Finales a Cheval
№	Name of the bet	Rates	Chips, pieces
1	Finales a Cheval 0/1	0/1, 10/11, 20/21, 30, 31	5

5	Finales a Cheval 2/3	2/3, 12, 13, 22/23, 32/33	5
6	Finales a Cheval 3/4	3, 4, 13/14, 23/24, 33, 34	6
7	Finales a Cheval 4/5	4/5, 14/15, 24, 25, 34/35	5
8	Finales a Cheval 5/6	5/6, 15, 16, 25/26, 35/36	5
9	Finales a Cheval 6/7	6, 7, 16/17, 26/27, 36	5
10	Finales a Cheval 7/8	7/8, 17/18, 27, 28	4
11	Finales a Cheval 8/9	8/9, 18, 19, 28/29	4
12	Finales a Cheval 9/10	9, 10, 19/20, 29/30	4
13	Finales a Cheval 0/3	0/3, 10/13, 20/23, 30/33	4

15	Finales a Cheval 2/5	2/5, 12/15, 22/25, 32/35	4
16	Finales a Cheval 3/6	3/6, 13/16, 23/26, 33/36	4
17	Finales a Cheval 4/7	4/7, 14/17, 24/27	3
18	Finales a Cheval 5/8	5/8, 15/18, 25/28	3
19	Finales a Cheval 6/9	6/9, 16/19, 26/29	3
20	Finales a Cheval 7/10	7/10, 17/20, 27/30	3
21	Finales a Cheval 8/11	8/11, 18/21, 28/31	3
22	Finales a Cheval 9/12	9/12, 19/22, 29/32	3

Consider the example of bets for 6 Finales a Cheval 3/4 chips: 3, 4, 13/14, 23/24, 33, 34

Viosins (Neighbours)

Bid Viosins translates as "neighbors" and describes it quite accurately. There are two types of these bets. If a number is involved and 2 numbers to the left and right of it, then these are “2 neighbors”. And if there are 4 numbers on the left and on the right - “4 neighbors”.

2 Viosins (2 neighbors)

This type of bet is placed on 5 numbers, which contain a number and 4 numbers around it. 5 chips are spent on such bets. For example, “16 and 2 neighbors” is a bet on numbers 5, 24, 16 , 33, 1. If everything is entered into the table, we get the following:

4 Viosins (4 neighbors)

The bet is placed on 9 numbers that surround the selected number (4 to the left and 4 to the right of the number). These bets are worth 9 chips. For example, “36 and 2 neighbors” are bets on cells 34, 6, 27, 13, 36 , 11, 30, 8, 23. Let's put everything in the table:

Full Completes or Complete Bet (Completes or Complex bets)

Rates Full Completes are considered the most expensive, because you need to bet on the number and all possible combinations with the maximum bet, which include this number. You need to have a big pot for these bets because this bet is worth 40 or more chips. Consider the number 20 in more detail in the form of a table:

Full Completes
№	Rates	Chips, pieces
1	Bet on One Number 20	1
2	Bet on Two Numbers 17/20	2
3	Bet on Two Numbers 19/20	2
4	Two numbers bet 20/21	2
5	Two numbers bet 20/23	2
6	Three numbers bet 19/20/21	3
7	Four numbers bet 16/17/19/20	4
8	Four numbers bet 17/18/20/21	4
9	Four numbers bet 19/20/22/23	4
10	Four numbers bet 20/21/23/24	4
11	Six numbers bet 16/17/18/19/20/21	6
12	Six numbers bet 19/20/21/22/23/24	6
Total		40

Perhaps in verbal bets you can really break your head, so be sure to save it somewhere, it’s impossible to just remember it like that, and it must be done! After all, knowing oral rates can reduce the advantage of online casinos.

Red Snake Bet

Snake Bet is an oral bet, which is possible, for example, in Premier Roulette Diamond Edition online roulette (Microgaming software).

Roulette Special Rules

In all roulettes, especially in offline casinos, there are special rules that allow you to increase the player's advantage over the casino.

La Partage Rule

La Partage- a special rule that is common in Europe. It sounds like this:

In the event that a Zero (0) cell falls out, then bets made on equal chances (Black/Red, Big/Small, Even/Odd) do not burn out (do not lose), but continue to participate in the next draw. If zero (0) appears again in the next round, then the bet made loses. And if the bet with La Partage wins, then only the amount of the bet is returned to the player.

Thus, the use of the La Partage rule allows you to reduce the European roulette house edge on even odds (Black/Red, Big/Low, Even/Odd) up to 1.35% and makes this rule the most beneficial for the players.

Rule En Prison

En Prison- this rule is very similar to La Partage, only created for French roulette. If zero (0) falls out, then only half of the bet on equal chances (Black / Red, Big / Small, Even / Odd) burns out. Thus, the advantage of the casino on equal chances is reduced up to 1.35% and makes this rule beneficial.

Surrender Rule

Surrender- This is an analogue of the En Prison rule for French roulette, but created only for American roulette. Reduces casino profit for equal chances from 5.26% to 2.63%.

Unusual types of roulette

Consider non-standard types of roulette, mainly in online casinos, which can be found. Exotic roulettes can often be found in casinos, and the rules of their games can be more profitable than usual ones, but this is not certain :)

This is a shortened version of the usual roulette, which contains cells with numbers from 0 to 11. This variety is available at casinos with software from Playtech.

Boole is a game created in the 19th century, which lost popularity in land-based casinos a long time ago, but has reappeared in online casinos. The online version of this game came about thanks to the software maker iSoftBet who brought it back to life.

Roulette contains numbers from 1 to 9 in different repetitions. The field for the game also contains possible bets. The advantage of the casino over the player is 11.11%. The rules are very simple, there are the following types of bets:

Bid	Payouts	Probability	Casino Advantage
Red	1 to 1	44.44%	11.11%
Black	1 to 1	44.44%	11.11%
Low (1-4)	1 to 1	44.44%	11.11%
High (6-9)	1 to 1	44.44%	11.11%
Odd	1 to 1	44.44%	11.11%

Roulette with multiple balls

The version of roulette that uses several balls instead of one looks very interesting. For example, a casino software manufacturer and not only Novomatis has developed a roulette with two prize balls Roulette Multiball. Felt Gaming, a casino software manufacturer, has created a version of Double Ball Roulette that also has 2 balls.

Naturally, payout ratios are changed in such versions of roulette.

Roulette Multiball betting with zero
Bid	win
0-1, 0-2, 0-3	17:1
0-1-2, 0-2-3	11:1
0-1-2-3	8:1

Bid	win
For 1 number	17 to 1
Split	8 to 1
For 3 rooms	5 to 1
Corner	3.5 to 1
For 6 rooms	2 to 1
Column	8 to 1
Dozen	8 to 1
Red	3 to 1
Black	3 to 1
Red/Black	1 to 1
Chet	3 to 1
odd	3 to 1
1-18	3 to 1
19-36	3 to 1
Two balls for any number	35 to 1
Two balls on the selected number	1300 to 1

Such versions of roulette allow you to save time, because 2 times more balls are involved in the game, which means that the game process is faster.

Roulette with multiple reels

After multi-ball roulette, it is not surprising that multi-table versions exist. For example, Microgaming developed the Multi Wheel Roulette game.

And for example, IGT Corporation made the game 3 Wheel Roulette.

Roulette without numbers

Roulette without numbers has been seen in several software manufacturers:

Created by Oryx Gaming software, the numbers in it are replaced by animals from the astrological calendar of the Chinese version.

Also a creation of Oryx Gaming, the numbers are replaced with zodiac signs.

Designed by a Russian company GloboTech.

This is an interesting type of roulette created by Playtech, a well-known software manufacturer for the gambling industry. In this game, the spinning wheel is replaced by a pinball area, passing through which a number and a color are fixed.

This is a German development, which was created by the peasants a very long time ago and is a vessel with openings and balls inside it. When twisted, the balls fill the holes, and depending on how this happens, brings victory to the player.

Bonus Roulettes

• Mystery Roulette x38 (Novomatic) - has two slot machines on the reel, which allows you to increase the winning amount up to 500 times.
• Marvel Roulette (Playtech) is a development based on the theme of marvell comics, which contains a bonus slot machine in the cells.
• Character Roulette (GloboTech) is a type of roulette that removes numbers and adds letters. You can bet on the ball falling in a row on the same letter, the winning amount for this bet increases to 10,000 to 1.
• Triple BonusSpin and Double Bonus pin (ITG) - the roulette contains bonus cells, the loss of which makes it possible to start the slot game.

American Roulette

Big winnings at roulette, who could cheat roulette

Perhaps the very first person who was able to win a huge amount of money at the casino roulette, at that time, in the amount of £3,250,000, was Joseph Hobson Jagger (Joseph Jagger). No wonder he was nicknamed the man-legend or the lord of roulette.

Joseph Hobson Jagger- an engineer from Britain, was born in September 1830 in a village called Shelf, in Yorkshire. He worked in a cotton factory.

As an engineer, he noticed that the Beaux-Arts casino had a tendency for the numbers 7, 8, 9, 17, 18, 19, 22, 28 and 29 to come up due to the bias of the roulettes. After that, to test the theory, he hired 6 front players who confirmed this pattern.

In 1873, Jagger went to the Beaux-Arts casino, where he earned £3,250,000 in 3 days. On the fourth day, the casino management determined what the phenomenon of Jagger's luck was and corrected the defect.

Roulette scam

In general, in large offline casinos, fraud cannot be found, but in not very large ones it may well be. exist a couple of ways, which allow you to control the dropout of cells.

1. A special pedal that controls the rotation of the roulette wheel, by pressing which you can slow it down and stop it at a certain moment.
2. Electromagnetic devices that allow you to attract the ball to the selected cell, after activating it.
3. Special defects on the balls or tape measure make the falling out process predictable.
4. Sometimes certain cells are applied with a special compound that repels the ball more than a regular roulette sheet.
5. In an online casino, everything is much simpler, here the software manufacturer independently adjusts the return, and if this software is not checked, then they can tweak the probability of winning very much, depending on impudence.

There is, perhaps, only one conclusion that can be drawn - you need to play exclusively in reliable and major casinos, which are closely monitored by regulatory organizations, which makes fraud unprofitable. It is easier to work honestly than to create different casinos every day and deceive players.

Conclusion

Roulette is recognized all over the world as one of the most popular games, and it is called the King of Casino Games for a reason. Today we reviewed the main points related to it. I think it can be played for fun, especially with additional rules that the probability of losing was at the level of 1.35% and no higher. Additional strategies will be considered separately from this article, and so it came out huge :) I would end this article with the following quote:

Roulette is a very interesting and exciting game that will allow you to get pleasure from playing with minimal losses, because the advantage of the casino over the player can be only 1.35% (subject to special rules).

As in every game, roulette is no exception, there are rules. Before you start playing roulette, you need to know exactly the rules and understand the principle of the game. If you play in a real casino, then incorrect bets will simply not be accepted, and if you thought to bet on the winning number, it will be very disappointing when the ball lands exactly on your bet, which was not accepted.

How to enter the game?

It is very easy to exchange your money at the cash desk for game chips (they will be face value), in principle, you can play them everywhere and put them on roulette, etc. But you can be given a chip of $200 and you can exchange them on the roulette table with a “color”; each player has his own color of chips on the roulette table. After the game, you can also exchange them with "cash" or take them with "cash" immediately upon receipt of the winnings, and exchange them for real money back at the checkout.

What is a roulette wheel?

Roulette is a table on which numbers from 1 to 36 are placed and there is also zero (0), and in some roulette there is also (00). There is also Even (even), Odd (odd), red and black, and fields of 12 numbers (1st 12, 2nd 12, 3rd 12) and 3 lines and "more" or "less" is a bet on getting a number in the range from 1..18 or 18..36

Winnings?

Bet (for example, the face value of the chips is $1)	Location in the picture	Pay
Bet on a number (a chip is set inside the number) for example (any from 0...36)		35$ + 1$ Your bet
Split bet (on two numbers) for example (2-5) is placed between the numbers		17$ + 1$ Your bet
Bet on three numbers (for example 0,1,2)		11$ +1$ Your bet
Four of a kind (bet on 4 numbers)		8$ + 1$ Your bet
Straight (bet on 3 numbers along the line for example (1,2,3)		11$ +1$ Your bet
Bet on 2 rows of 6 numbers for example (1,2,3,4,5,6)		5$ + 1$ Your bet
Bet on a dozen or column (12 numbers)		2$ + 1$ Your bet
Bet on color (red or black) or even and odd		1$ + 1$ Your bet
Bet "over" or "under" range from 1...18 or 18...36		1$ + 1$ Your bet

Of course, you can bet more than $1, so if you bet $5, you multiply $5 by the "Win" value from the table. If you bet for example $5 on the number 35 and it fell out, then the winnings will be 5*35=175 + 5 of your bet you placed. The result will be $180.

As you can see, the rules are very simple.

It is easy, looking at the table, to estimate that, according to the theory of probability, you lose 1 chip to the casino every round. For example, if you force numbers from 1...36 to $1, your chances of winning are not 100% because there is still zero. those. when hitting a number, you win $36 (in total with your bet in the field), and the numbers are 37 (+zero).

Here, of course, it’s a matter of luck and it’s not in vain that the dealer changes in the casino every n-th amount of time, and if the casino sees that you are terribly lucky, the chance to replace the dealer is very large. They can also change the ball to change the course of the game (yes, there are several of them in the casino, large and small). It is logical to assume that when the ball changes, the course of the game changes.

There are also in the casino "Oral bets":

Suitable for people who like to play between tables. It's no secret that the numbers on the roulette wheel and at the table are arranged differently. On the table they are in order from 1 ... 36, but on the roulette they are different. Oral bets are placed on the table in a separate corner and there the numbers completely coincide with how the numbers are located on the roulette table. Those. it is essentially a copy of the roulette only in the form of an image.

1) "Voisins de Zero" or "Voisins de Zero"- includes a bet on 17 numbers: 26, 3, 35, 12, 28, 7, 29, 18, 22 (numbers located to the left of zero), also 32, 15, 19, 4, 21, 2, 25 ( numbers to the right of zero).

2) "Zero Spiel" or "Zero Spiel", everything is simple here (the name speaks of the bet) these are the numbers that are near zero on the roulette wheel (12, 35, 3, 26, 0, 32, 15).

3) "Tier" or "Tier du Cylindre", there are 12 numbers: 27, 13, 36, 11, 30, 8, 23, 10, 5, 24, 16, 33.

4) "Orfolines" or "Orphelins", includes numbers from several roulette sectors: 9, 31, 14, 20, 1 and 6, 34, 17

In principle, these rules will be enough to play roulette in a casino. Now you can easily place bets and know how much you will win if you win. Usually in a casino they are treated to free drinks and all kinds of fruits and food.

Roulette is a world-famous gambling game that can both bring a fabulous win and completely ruin the player. It is the opportunity to get rich quick that attracts in this game. However, easy money does not come to everyone, which greatly reduces the attractiveness of entertainment and can even make it dangerous. It is because of this that the game of roulette (as well as all gambling fun) is officially banned on the territory of the Russian Federation. However, you can visit an online casino or just play in a warm friendly company. In the second case, you are unlikely to get a lot of money, but you can have an interesting time for completely legitimate entertainment.

Roulette strategies

It often seems to an inexperienced person that they win at roulette solely due to luck, but this is far from the case. In fact, the game has many undercurrents, and you need to be able to correctly distribute all the bets in order to finish the game with minimal losses. A big win in this case is a nice bonus, but nothing more (at least that's how it should be treated). That is why experienced players are able to enjoy the game as a whole, and not how much money they have earned in this way.

In order to minimize the profit of the casino (you can be sure that the gambling establishment always remains in the black), special strategies are used. They do not give a 100% guarantee for a big win, but at the same time they will help to minimize your losses.

The most common way to win a certain amount in a casino is the Martingale method. Its essence is that each new bet is twice the previous one. First you bet $1, then $2, then $4, and so on ad infinitum. However, at the beginning of such a game, it is worth considering that usually the number of bets in one game is limited, which means that your game may well end in full swing.

Winning big money using the Martingale method is almost impossible. It is designed so that you can make a small profit from the winning bet, fully paying off all the previous ones. As practice shows, the risks of losing with such a strategy are very high, and the gains are, in principle, small, so its use can hardly be called expedient.

But the game according to the Fibonacci method can bring a fairly stable income with the lowest possible losses. By playing this system, you can stay in the black even after a significant losing streak.

This method was based on the Fibonacci numerical sequence 1-1-2-3-5-8-13-21 and so on. Following it, you make all bets in the same order. If you win at any stage, you just need to go back two spins (if you played a bet of 8 dollars, the next one should be in the amount of 2 US rubles).

In addition to special strategies, there are also special game systems in betting. Most of them are designed in such a way as to maximize your chances of winning. Most of these systems are based on the theory of probability, so each player must first of all rely not on blind luck, but on their mathematical abilities. Usually this is some sequence of numbers that are most often bet on. For example, when choosing the Cuban system, you bet equal amounts on black and the third column several times in a row. The probability of winning in this case can be increased by additionally using the Fibonacci method or Martingale.

By the way, if you want to play in a real casino, but are not ready to leave a large amount of money there, then this is quite possible (albeit slightly illegal). So, you can come to a gambling establishment together with a friend, but at the same time pretend that you do not know each other. He bets on black and you bet on red. In the end, none of you will be able to win, but you will return home with your own money in your pocket. However, we repeat, you will not be able to do this on the territory of Russia, since casinos are prohibited here at the legislative level. It is also undesirable to engage in casino fraud - you can be detected by the security system, and in this case you will have problems.

Learning to play roulette is a very exciting experience. And to study all the systems of the game, to find out which type of roulette is better to choose, and to soberly assess your chances is at least not easy. But even in such a pragmatic case, miracles sometimes happen. After all, everyone remembers that “beginners are always lucky,” so it is quite possible that Fortune will smile at you even without any calculations and strategies.

Roulette Rules

A detailed and lengthy study of the features of the game of roulette is not needed - it is quite simple and has rather concise rules. You will need a playing field, a roulette wheel, which is divided into 36 fields, and a ball. You must bet on a certain number or color of the cell. The croupier (dealer, host) spins the wheel and carefully lowers the metal ball. If it hits the hole with the number that was wagered, you win.

In this game, you can bet money on a specific number (this guarantees the maximum win), or choose combinations of several numbers, as well as even (odd) numbers or a specific color of the cell.

If you manage to get into a real casino, then in addition to other players, you will meet a croupier near each gaming table. This is a specially trained person who accepts bets, spins the roulette wheel with the ball and announces the result of the spin. He also distributes the winnings among the participants. In the board game, you can choose a person for this position, while in real life he represents the interests of the gambling house.

Many of those who have ever won in this game are really addicted to it. These people spend their whole lives looking for ways to play roulette and win using not entirely honest methods. However, it is difficult to succeed in such ways, since the croupier, the security service, and even the waitresses always make sure that all the rules of the game are strictly observed.

If you want to play roulette to earn a lot of money, forget about this option right away. In any case, the casino always remains in the black - this is not guesswork, but a statement of fact. That is why treat it philosophically and do not spend a lot of money on fun, because you will not be able to return them.

European roulette rules: how not to lose?

There are several varieties of this game: European, American and French. European roulette uses 37 gaming sectors - these are numbers from 1 to 36 and 0 (zero). In the American variety, there are 38 of them - the number of cells increases due to 00 (double zero). Also in this form there is an amusing rule - Surrender rule. It applies to all players if roulette rolls 00. In this case, half of the amount of all money wagered is “frozen”, and an additional chance is given to win it back during the next game. In the European variety, there is a similar rule - En Prison, but here all the money remains safe. But in French roulette they also use La Partage - a system where, when zero falls out, only half of the bet remains.

With the development of computer technology, you can also play electronic roulette in online casinos. To do this, you just need to register on a special site, replenish your virtual account and start your combination.

However, it is worth remembering that playing any of these varieties, you will not have a 100% guarantee of winning.

You have probably heard of Russian roulette. However, this dubious entertainment has nothing to do with the popular game. This is an incredibly dangerous game with weapons, where the participants in the duel are eliminated forever after an unsuccessful shot. The winner is the one who never drops a loaded cartridge.

Drunk Roulette Survival Game

This fun is the most obvious way to say that, if desired, you can turn a prohibited gambling action into a fun and completely legal pastime. Alcohol roulette is a game for adults who can adequately calculate their strength and turn an ordinary drinking party into an enchanting action. Usually, special sets with stacks are sold for it. It includes a wheel, a ball and 16 stacks of red and black. If you don’t have one, then do it yourself by simply drawing numbers on ordinary glasses.

The rules of the game of alcoroulette are quite diverse: you can pour alcohol into all glasses or only some of them. The main thing is that everyone has a good fun - this is the goal of this fun. As you understand, there are no losers and winners in this entertainment.

Choosing an honest and safe online casino can be a daunting task, as there are many sites today whose creators seek to deceive visitors by swindling them out of every penny of their money. The best online casino should have several qualities:

• accept players from most countries, especially from those where gambling is most popular, and those site visitors who cannot create an account and play for money should be notified about this (usually the list of countries under the ban is prescribed in the rules of the institution) ;
• have documents issued by a reputable licensing firm and provide information about their relevance;
• have a good reputation, especially among experienced players, and this must be confirmed by reviews on several sites;
• provide access to a rich selection of games of different types, genres and themes, with different functions and features;
• to be “afloat”, that is, to have enough profit for the development of the casino, which will indicate the popularity of the institution;
• answer all questions and interact with users who have left positive or negative comments about the casino;
• pay out money without delay and in a way convenient for the player.

The best casinos without cheating

It makes no sense for any reputable online casino to deceive players. If the administration of the institution decides that it can act dishonestly, this will lead to disastrous consequences (for the institution). Thematic sites will immediately be bombarded with negative reviews, and beginners are unlikely to want to play in a casino that has been caught cheating. And this will lead to the fact that the casino will begin to lose profits.

And top establishments value their customers and therefore conduct exclusively honest and responsible activities aimed at making it as comfortable as possible for players to place bets when playing for money.

Differences between a licensed casino and a fake

Fake or so-called "scripted" casinos are quite easy to recognize. As a rule, such sites have the same (or very similar) design. This is the first thing that should alert. Fraudulent establishments cannot afford to place licensed games on their sites, and therefore their catalogs are filled with second-rate slots from little-known manufacturers. Usually these are games with mediocre design and without interesting features. In addition, "scripted" casinos like to offer potential players suspiciously generous bonuses and litter various sites with fake reviews, supposedly indicating that many people have become incredibly rich by gambling with them.

Unlike "scripted" casinos, the best licensed casinos are able to offer games of the highest quality from top developers and do not seek to deceive players by luring them with promises of generous payouts and large bonuses. They just do everything to provide the highest quality service, in which site visitors can play for money and win in a comfortable and safe environment. And, naturally, licensed establishments carry out legal activities and provide website visitors with information about the presence of a valid license. It is also worth highlighting several qualities of a licensed gambling site:

• speed and convenience of payments;
• Responsive and competent support service, working every day and 24 hours a day;
• user-friendly and attractive site.

The best casinos for rubles

Among the many options available, visitors to domestic online casinos most often choose rubles to play for money. This is primarily due to the fact that making a deposit in rubles is very simple, because you can use not only an electronic wallet, but also ordinary payment terminals that can be found almost on every corner, or even a balance on a mobile phone. Withdrawing winnings in rubles is also easy, and for the same reason.

You can play for rubles in the best casinos in any slots, as well as table and card games. Many experienced players claim that slot machines for rubles have a high level of profitability, that is, they allow you to make good money. It is also important that rates in rubles can be purely symbolic. For example, it is easier for most beginners to bet 50 kopecks or a ruble on a spin than 20-50 cents or 1 euro.

It is also important that when withdrawing in rubles, you will not have to pay a commission for the exchange of euros or dollars, which is also important, because every 2-5% that you have to pay when withdrawing will significantly reduce the profit from playing for money.

What payment services to use

The undoubted favorites among those who prefer to play for rubles are Yandex.Money, QIWI and Webmoney payment systems. But many prefer to use a bank card. When using another currency, you can choose Neteller, Skrill or another system from the list of available ones. And those who value anonymity will appreciate the possibility of using cryptocurrency.

Best online casinos by return

It is not enough to choose the best casino according to general criteria. It is important to take into account such a nuance as returns. It depends on the return how profitable pastime on the site of a particular institution will be.

What is considered a good return?

The return or payout percentage of a slot machine is the probability of winning combinations and the amount of payouts for them. The simpler the slot, the less likely it is to bring big winnings. The gameplay is fast and the account balance is literally melting before our eyes.

Software developers for online casinos prescribe a return of 80-99% in the algorithm of each slot. For each game, the return percentage (RTP) is prescribed without the possibility of changing it by the casino owners. Of course, this statement is relevant only for games from leading developers. At the same time, a return of 96% or more is considered good. In most popular slots, it ranges from 96.5% to 98.9%, but average values ​​​​between these figures are more common.

How can you check the return?

You can find out the return percentage of the selected slot in several ways:
1. Read the description of the game on the official website of the provider;
2. Study several independent reviews from experts;
3. Based on general data about the company that creates slots (then it will be possible to start from the average for the entire portfolio of the company and thus get a general impression of the impact of its games);
4. View reports published by independent auditors.

Best Free Casinos

Almost all online casinos allow all site visitors to play for free. You do not need to register or replenish your account for this. It is enough to select a slot and launch it to start the game for "wrappers". When the virtual balance ends, it will be enough to restart the game to continue spinning the reels. This opportunity allows you to study the functionality of the slot without spending money, and select the best strategies for greater returns.

Bonuses

Another important part of the game for money are the bonuses that online casinos offer. A generous welcome package with achievable wagering requirements will allow you to start playing with minimal investment and a large amount of money in your account. For example, you can make a deposit of $100 and have $200 in your account. This will double the number of possible bets and, as a result, increase the likelihood of hitting the jackpot.

Regular players can also receive additional benefits if the casino has a generous bonus policy. Regular deposit and no deposit bonuses, promotions, tournaments, birthday gifts, free spins and other things that the best online casinos are famous for - all this can be used to your advantage.

The best online casinos will definitely offer all players to participate in the loyalty program. Raising his status by betting and participating in tournaments, the player receives various privileges - cash rewards, increased cashback (return of part of the lost funds), a personal manager or access to exclusive bonuses that are not available to other players.

European roulette is the most traditional gambling variant, the rules of which have not changed for decades. The goal of the game is to guess on which of the sectors on the virtual roulette wheel the ball will stop by placing a bet on the corresponding field on the table. In European roulette online, a player can make several bets at the same time, thereby increasing his chances of winning in each round.

There are 37 sectors on the virtual roulette wheel: 36 numbered sectors (18 of them are black, 18 are red) and the green sector 0, or “zero”. Before starting the game, before pressing the Start button and starting the rotation of the virtual roulette, the player needs to make one or more bets using virtual chips. This scheme of actions is always the same and does not depend on whether you bet real money or took advantage of the opportunity to play for free.

European Roulette Betting Options

The so-called "inside" rates:

• Bet on 1 number - payout 35 to 1
• "Split" - bet on 2 numbers, payout 17 to 1 (to make this bet, the player needs to place the chip strictly between two adjacent fields on the virtual table, that is, on the border of 2 fields)
• "Street" - bet on 3 numbers, payout 11 to 1
• "Corner" - bet on 4 numbers, payout 8 to 1 (to make this bet, you need to place the chip at the point where 4 adjacent fields touch, forming a square)
• Line bet - with this bet the player “closes” 6 numbers, the payout is 5 to 1

"Outside" rates:

• Bet on a column/dozen - payout 2 to 1 (with this bet the player closes 12 numbers, that is, almost 1/3 of the virtual roulette wheel)
• The color bet is red/black, the payout is 1 to 1. For this bet, there are special fields on the virtual table, which are marked with the corresponding colors and inscriptions Red or Black
• Bet on even / odd numbers - the payout is the same 1 to 1, there are 2 special fields for the bet labeled Even (even) and Odd (odd)
• Bet on small/big numbers - the payout is 1 to 1, the bet "closes" all numbers either from 1 to 18 or from 19 to 36

One of the most important rules of playing European roulette in an online casino is the ability to combine bets by placing virtual chips on several fields at once on the betting table. So, for example, a player can simultaneously bet on red and black, thus “closing”, in general, all sectors on the virtual roulette wheel, except for sector 0. Of course, such a bet option is obviously losing: if black falls out, the player will receive a payout 1 to 1, but at the same time lose the money bet on red - and vice versa. But there are combinations of bets that, on the contrary, are obviously winning with a high degree of probability.
