Betting on Online Roulette with RealLiveDealer Casino

online roulette

The casino game Roulette and online roulette is coined from the French word, which translates to “little wheel”.  It is simple and quite popular.  Firstly, in this game, the players are required to purchase stacks of colored chips from the dealer.  Each player in the game must use chips of different color to prevent any confusion among others bets.  Every chip that the player has usually equates to the table minimum.  

Next, the players have to place one or more chips on a particular number then, the dealer spins the ball.  As the ball settles in a pocket where players placed their bets on, they will gain profit. Each player can possibly place their chips either on adjacent numbers, on the red numbers or on odd numbers.  In the case of the chips, the value of one is dependent upon the amount the player has paid for the stack.  If the player has paid more than the table minimum, the dealer will mark a “lamer”, a kind of special marker, on the rim of the wheel to remind himself of how much the players’ chips are worth.

Online Roulette: Types of Bets

In online roulette, it is possible to bet on a number or even different bunch of numbers.  A handful of betting techniques exist, which move the odds in favor of the players.  As the individual places more bets on a lot of numbers, the bigger chance he gets on winning.  Now that the basics of roulette have been established, it is important to note that the game is divided into three categories: inside bets, outside bets and announced bets.  The first two are the ones commonly offered and are therefore considered the most basic. Whereas the latter is more complicated and is usually emphasized in exclusive online roulette variants.

INSIDE BETS

As much as the rules play an important role in roulette, one must also comprehend the different aspects of the game in order to fully have an enjoyable time. Notice that the layout of the roulette table is composed of numbers ranging from zero to thirty six. All the rest are areas for placing bets on sets of numbers: red and black, odd and even, columns and dozens, 1-18 and 19-36. The bets placed on the numbers located in the inner section of the table are known as inside bets. These types of combinations are quite quite easy to remember as they are sensible. I gives player more chances of winning and different payoffs. On the other hand, testing one’s luck in a land-based casino or online roulette with real live dealer casino tables, it might be wise to make himself/herself informed about the subject given that the dealers, human as they are, are prone to make mistakes.  

OUTSIDE BETS

Outside bets belong to the second major category of bets placed in roulette. As the name suggests, these are wagers that are placed outside the section of the number field. This cover the higher sets of numbers.  Five outside bets are commonly known:

  • Red or Black bets

wagers are placed either in a red or black pocket of the winning number.  Oftentimes, red or black bets are represented by red or black diamonds, respectively. However in some casinos, the words “red” and “black” are written instead.   

  • Odd or Even bets

ideal type of wagers for new and inexperienced players. Players have to place bets on the red or black boxes located on each side. Then they select either an odd or even number to which the ball will rest on.

  • High or Low bets

in this type of bet, the wheel can be split into two parts: 1 through 18 are called low numbers, while 19 to 36 are referred to as high numbers.

  • Dozen bets

the layout of numbered fields can be separated into 3 divisions, 1stdozen, 2nddozen and 3rddozen.  The first dozen covers 1 through 12, the 2nd13 through 24 and the last 25 through 36.

  • Column bets

Similar to dozens, the number field can also be divided into three vertical lines of numbers.  A column consists of 12 numbers to which a player can cover with a single chip.  

SNAKE  BET

In some select roulette variations, a type of bet known as the snake bet is also considered as a kind of outside bet.  This compels players to lay down bets in an s-shaped pattern of twelve straight numbers (1, 5, 9, 12, 14, 16, 19, 23, 27, 30, 32 and 34), and should only cover red numbers.  Another type of outside bet, also featured only in exclusive roulette tables, resembles the snake bet.  However, the difference is that the s-shaped pattern should only cover black numbers (2, 6, 8, 10, 13, 17, 220, 24, 26, 28, 29, 31 and 35).  This is called the black snake bet.

ANNOUNCED BETS

 French Roulette commonly features special betting combinations that are referred to as announced bets or French bets.  The player calls out a bet and immediately places money on the table to cover the amount of the bet.  There are a series of numbers in the game.Since they are mostly played on French roulette, French terminology was hence applied.

  • Voisins du Zéro

The Voisins du Zéro bet, or the Neighbors of Zero, covers zero and all the numbers on both its sides of the wheel, from 22 to 25.  The series consists of 22-18-29-7-28-12-35-3-26-0-32-15-19-4-21-2-25.  15-number bets can be made or in some, 17 to include 22 and 25.  

  • Le Tiers Du Cylindre

Le Tiers Du Cylindre also known as Third of the Wheel, refers to the series of 12 numbers on the opposite side of the wheel, encompassing numbers between, and including, 27 and 33. The series includes: 27, 13, 36, 11, 30, 8, 23,10, 5, 24, 16 and 33, and 6-piece bets can be made.

  • Orphelins

Orphelins, another popular announced bet, includes numbers that lie outside the tiers and voisins.  These “orphans” consist of eight digits, consisting 1, 6, 9, 14, 17, 20, 31 and 34.  This is a 4-piece bet, made up by one straight on one and one chip on each split: 6-9,14-17,17-20 and 31-34. 

  • Jeu Zéro

The Jeu Zéro or otherwise known as the zero game covers numbers closest to zero.  The series of numbers in the zero game are also found in the voisins, however their locations are placed variously.

  • Neighbor Bets

The neighbor bets are oftentimes made in combinations.  This particular bet is a 5-digit wager that includes a number along with two numbers from each side of the wheel.  As an example, “5 and the neighbors” consist of the series 5, 24,16, 10 and 23.

Other exclusive roulette tables feature the Final bets or Finales and the Red/Black splits. This type of announced bet allows the player to place his/her bet on the last figure of the winning number.  If one bets on Finale 4 for example, the combination 4, 14, 24 and 34 is chosen. These are exactly series of all the splits of red or black numbers on the layout.

Online roulettes and other gambling sites have no known boundaries. There are also countless variations of the game that brandish a whole lot more kinds of bets. For example, the “Chip Bomb”, the Premier Roulette Diamond Edition of Microgaming, allows players to easily place wagers on numbers and any of the numbers that surround it.  Moreover, a lot of virtual roulette games in our times have been allowing its players to develop their own betting techniques and patterns.
