Roulette is one of the oldest and the most famous game played in any of the casinos of the world. In playing the Roulette game, your objective is to pick the winning number that will appear on the Roulette wheel. Other than the individual numbers, you can also bet on the combination of numbers or choose the color, odd or even. For many newbie, it is not as easy as it seems. Hence, let go back to the basic to learn how to play Roulette and understand what your chances to win in Roulette game are.

Two Types of Wheels

If you have been to casino before or visited an online casino, you may notice that there are actually two types of Roulette wheels, one has 37 slots, numbered from 0 to 36 and another type has 38 numbers, range from 0 to 36 with added extra number "00".

The 37 slot’s wheel is the original wheel since the game invented; the 37 slot’s wheel is known as "European Wheel". The house edge / casino advantage for this 37 slot’s wheel is 2.63%. The 38 slot’s wheel is known as "American Wheel", it has an added double zero ("00") which has increase the house edge from 2.63% to 5.26%. In other word, you chances to win in "American Wheel" are less than the "European Wheel.

Roulette Table Layout

Roulette layouts have two betting areas: the inside betting area and outside betting area. The inside betting area contains the individual numbers on the layout; the outside betting area has boxes for the columns, red/black and odd/even and different groups of numbers.

The individual numbers at the inside betting area are arranged in 3 columns times 12 rows and the zero and double zero (if it is American Wheel) are arrange at the top of the columns. There are 18 numbers colored with "Black"/"Yellow" and the other 18 numbers are colored with "Red"; you can making the betting based on these two colors at the outside betting area. Beside the colors, there are three other types of betting at outside betting area: 1-18 (small), 19-36 (big); Old or Even; column bets: 1 to 12, 13 to 24, and 25 to 36.

Buying In

In order to avoid disputes, each player will receives a different color chip and these color chips can only be used for that table only; you much cash them in once you are done playing to exchange these chip with the cash chips where you can cash them at the cashier cage later.

You can make several types of betting at inside betting area; you can bet a number straight up or straddle the line between numbers to select a combination of numbers. The payouts for each type of betting are as follow:

• a. Single Number : Pays 35 to 1
• b. Split bet between two numbers: Pays 17 to 1
• c. Quad bet between 4 numbers (place your chip at the center of 4 adjacent numbers): Pays 8 to 1.
• d. Line bet / street bet (you bet on 1 row with 3 numbers): Pays 11 to 1.
• e. Double street bet (you bet on 2 rows with 6 numbers): Pays 5 to 1.

At outside betting area, the payouts for any winning are as follow:

• a. Even/odd, big/small and color black/red are all pay 1 to 1.
• b. Column bets (1 to 12, 13 t o24, 25 to 36) are paying 2 to 1.

After the roulette ball drop into the wheel’s slot, the dealer will mark the winning number with a marker. He/she will pick up all the losing chips first before paying out the winning chips. You are not allowed to place your bet until the dealer removes the marker.

In summary

This article is giving you some basics on how to play the famous Roulette casino game. Roulette has a high house edge and you cannot overcome this edge in the long run. But if you put some strategies in place, you can increase you chance to win in this game. I will discuss a few roulette strategies in my next few articles. Good luck!

Are you ready to lose all of your money? Of course not. And that’s why money management is so important. So, what’s this alien phrase “money management” anyway? In today’s article, I will get you started down the golden road of managing your money and time better for more casino profits.

The Primer

Before you run for the hills, let me calm you. I won’t be going into serious financial detail in this article. The idea is to explain what money management is and to give you some food for thought. Yes, the field of money management goes well beyond the simple stuff that we’ll talk about today, but let’s save that for later.

In layman’s terms, money management simply means keeping track of what you’re doing and what you planned to do at a casino. It’s like when you go to the grocery store with an idea in mind of how much you want to or can spend and perhaps, to some degree, what you want to accomplish while there.

Set Aside Money

Before engaging in any gaming entertainment you should set aside an amount of money for your fun. This is the maximum amount of money you’re willing to spend. If the moment comes when it’s gone, you’re done.

When you set aside money like this, it’s traditionally called a bankroll. Ideally, your bankroll should be for just gambling and not other activities, such as eating, seeing movies, and so forth.

Betting Within Limits

Now that you have your bankroll, you can clearly see-at any time-how much money you have to play with. Using this new insight, you can bet appropriately.

If your bankroll is $100, you wouldn’t want to walk up to the Blackjack table and play $25 hands. There’s no hard and fast rule for bet sizing off a bankroll. I think you need to think about how long you want to try and play for. If you had $100 and just wanted to play for 5-10 minutes, then maybe $25 hands is fine.

For the typical player that’s looking for up to a couple hours of fun, try to divide your bankroll by 20 for table games. So, if you have a $100 bankroll, bet $5 per hand. As your bankroll increases, bet more if you wish.

The Overall Goal

Managing your money in this fashion will help you enjoy your experience more and you’ll be more fiscally responsible. Most people who walk away big losers do so because they didn’t know when to stop.

By setting your bankroll ahead of time, you know when to stop. And if you want to go further, you can initiate a stop loss on your money. Confused by this? We’ll go deeper into money management in other articles.

Just remember this. Every professional gambler in the world knows about money management and uses it to some degree. Even if you only gamble once in a blue moon, it’s good for you to at least know the basics.

Most all top online casinos voluntarily subject themselves to regular audits (usually monthly) by a qualified and reputable third party firm, such as Pricewaterhouse Coopers (PwC). These audits generally focus on two aspects of the online casino’s operations: their random number generator and their payout rates. The latter — payout rates — is the subject of this article.

An online casino’s payout rates are displayed as a percentage — that being the percentage of incoming wagers that are paid out in winnings. As you can imagine, the higher the payout rates, the better. The top online casinos are often considered so, in part, precisely because they offer the highest payout rates.

A top online casino with the highest payout rate in video poker may not have the best payout rate for slots. Payout rates vary within top online casinos for each individual game. If you’re planning on joining a top online casino for a specific game — be it poker, craps, baccarat, video poker, roulette, blackjack, slots, keno, or any other top online casino game — check the top online casino’s payout percentages for that specific game.

Las Vegas and its casinos have always been an inspiration for filmmakers looking to inject excitement and intrigue into their movies. One of the most famous movies with a Las Vegas backdrop is 1960’s ‘Ocean’s Eleven’, which sees the members of the original ‘Rat Pack’ – Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis – planning to rob five of the top casinos in Vegas in just one night. Things go according to plan – at least until after the heists.

‘Ocean’s Eleven’ was remade successfully in 2001 by Steven Soderburgh, who cast George Clooney in the leading role of Danny Ocean and Brad Pitt, Matt Damon and Elliott Gould as gang members, amongst others. The 2001 version updated the storyline while still putting across the same glamorous image of Vegas as in the first movie.

Nicolas Cage visited Las Vegas in 1992 for his film ‘Honeymoon in Vegas’. This comedy tells the story of Jack Singer (played by Cage) who decides to wed his long-time partner Betsy (Sarah Jessica Parker) in Vegas. However, when they arrive, Betsy is spotted by a high-stakes gambler who decides he wants to spend a weekend with her. He engages Singer in poker games in an attempt to wrestle her from him. With Cage acting his best as the love-struck bridegroom, James Caan as the sinister gambler, and a number of parachuting Elvis impersonators, ‘Honeymoon in Vegas’ offers plenty of laughs.

Matt Damon is Mike McDermott, one of the world’s best poker players in the 1998 film ‘Rounders’, who has given up the game in order to concentrate on finishing law school. When his old friend Worm (Edward Norton) is released from prison, he persuades McDermott to return to the game in order to pay off some bad debts he’s accrued. McDermott consequently finds himself playing in a series of poker games where the stakes are forever increasing and the tension is forever building.

Finally, a list of casino movies is incomplete without a mention of the 1995 Martin Scorcese movie ‘Casino’, which is considered by many to be the definitive casino film. This tells the true story of Sam ‘Ace’ Rothstein, a mobster who moves to Las Vegas and becomes the operator of the Tangiers casino. Robert De Niro makes the lead role his own, as Rothstein copes with marriage to a drug addict (played by Sharon Stone) and friendship with Nicky Santoro (Joe Pesci), a fellow mobster slowly spiralling into a world of violence.
