Roulette is one of the oldest betting games and today like 100 years ago people wait with a sinking heart the ball to stop. Someone is lucky. Someone believes in calculating. But everyone has fun playing roulette!

The goal of the game is to bet and to win. A “croupier” (or “dealer”) spins roulette wheel and launches a small ball. When the wheel stops, the ball rests in one of the slots with number.

Roulette Wheel

The roulette wheel in the American Roulette has 38 slots: 0, 00 and 1-36. The order of numbers isn’t random and they aren’t placed one after another. The position of numbers is specific:

• red numbers are placed after black ones;
• usually two even numbers are situated after two odd numbers;
• all red numbers are opposite to black numbers;
• every odd number is opposite to even number which goes after it (for example: 1 is opposite to 2; 9 is opposite to 10, etc)
• the majority of numbers makes a pair. Between this pair is paced any one number, but the sum of the numbers is 37 or 39.

Zero (“0”) and Double Zero (“00”) are green. The others numbers are red or black.

Roulette table

The roulette table has Inner section and Outside section.

Inner section has all the numbers. Three numbers in order form a row, vertical lines of numbers make a column with twelve numbers.

Outside section contains special places for outside bets: low or high, black or red, odd or even, columns, dozens.

Bets

The bets are divided in inside bets and outside bets.

Remember, rules say that the sum of all of your bets must sum up to at least the board minimum. That means if you are playing at a roulette $10 minimum table and wish to bet on unique roulette numbers, you can gamble $1 on each of 10 figures, or $10 on one number, or any combination between both, but your bet on the inside must total at least the $10 minimum.

Six types of inside bets:

Five types of outside Bets

Surrender rule

There is surrender rule in some casinos. It means that if “0” or “00” come up then the even money bets lose half of their stake, and all other bets lose the total stake. For example if the player bet 5$ on “7”, “29”,“odd” and “black” and the ball rested in the “0” slot, he loses all the inside bets (10$ for bet on “7” and “29”) and half of bet even bets (5$ for bet on “odd” and “black”). 5$ will return to the player.

It’s easy. Isn’t it? So before going to a real casino try your luck in online roulette. Online gambling has its own advantages: you can play staying home, you can avoid the crowd and you haven’t to go home with your winnings through the dark alley. Choose one of roulette games and enjoy!

Betting Round: If any cards of players’ hands are up, betting usually begins with whoever is showing the highest hand. Some people play that in high/low games, the first round of betting starts with the lowest showing hand and all later rounds start with the highest. If no cards are showing, the betting should start with a different player each round, beginning with the player to the left of the dealer and rotating to the next player clockwise each round. A round consists of a series of bets until everyone has called or folded.

Declare: Announcing whether you’re trying for the high hand, low hand, or both. Typically, this is done by secretly putting no chips in your hand if you’re going low, one chip if you’re going high, or two chips if you’re going both. Everyone then opens their fists simultaneously.

Down: Face down, so that the value of the card isn’t showing. Also known as ‘In The Hole’.

Exchange: Discard cards from a hand and replace them with different cards, usually from the top of the deck.

High/Low: The highest hand and the lowest hand split the pot. In many high/low games, it is possible to win the entire pot by having the highest and the lowest hand (accomplished via wild cards, or by using different sets of 5 cards), but only if you declare that you’re trying for both. If you try for both but don’t win both (that is, someone else has the highest or the lowest hand), you win neither. When playing high/low, hands are compared against all other hands, not just the hands which are going the same way. Thus, if someone going high has a better low hand than all of the people going low, nobody going low wins (so the high hand gets the whole pot). If someone goes for both and fails, say by winning high but losing low, the high half of the pot goes to the low winner– it doesn’t go the second best high hand.

In The Hole: See ‘Down’.

Natural: Without wild cards.

Perfect low: A perfect low is usually A-2-3-4-6. However, it can also be A-2-3-4-5 if you play that straights don’t count when you go low, or it can be 2-3-4-5-7 if you play that Aces are always high, or 2-3-4-5-6 if you play both of the above.

Rank: Value of a card. There are 13 ranks in a deck of cards.

Roll: Flip a down card up.

Rolling Showdown: A showdown in which cards are stacked and revealed one at a time with a round of betting after each card is revealed.

Rotating Bet: Each round of betting starts with the next player clockwise. Typically, the player to the left of the dealer starts the first betting round. The 2nd round would thus be started by the player to his left, and so forth.

Showdown: The process of revealing hands and determining the winner.

Tap Out: This happens whenever a player bets all of his or her remaining money. If only that player and one other are still playing the hand, then the remaining cards for the hand are dealt out and no more bets are placed. If more than two players are still playing the hand, then a separate pot is created to hold the bets for the players who are not ‘Tapped Out’. Betting continues as normal for those other players in the new pot. When the hand is over, if the player who tapped out wins, then that player gets the first pot and the player with the second highest hand gets the second pot. If the player who tapped out does not win the hand, then the winning player get both pots. Also known as ‘All In’.

Trick: A set of cards, one card from each player, played one at a time in sequence around the table. Tricks are usually found in games like Hearts and Bridge, not in true Poker games.

Trump: One suit which is stronger than other suits. The lowest ranking card of a trump suit beats the highest ranking card of any other suit. Trump suits are used in trick-taking games and are not found in true Poker games.

Up: Face up, so that the value of the card is showing.

Know you know the poker language. It’s a time to practice. You can start with real players, but it is recommended to begin to play in online casino to learn the basics of poker and get girst experience.

Playing in online casinos for real money you’ll learn faster.
