Gaming Guide

In the United States roulette has never gained the popularity it has in Europe. The game is played at a relatively slow pace, and the house advantage of 5.26 percent makes it a difficult game to beat. Another drawback to roulette is the American-style wheel, which has 36 numbers plus 0 and 00. In Europe, roulette wheels have just a single 0. However, if you're a die-hard roulette player, you'll find a few European-style wheels in Las Vegas casinos. When you play on a single-zero roulette wheel, the house advantage drops by almost half to 2.7 percent.

The game is simple to play; a roulette dealer spins the wheel and waits for the ivory ball to land on a number. Bettors have the option to guess which number out of the possible 38 the ball will land on, bet on a combination of numbers or pick whether the number will be red or black.

The various roulette bets and their payoffs are listed below:

Red or black	1 to 1
Odd or even	1 to 1
Numbers 1-18 or 19-36	1 to 1
Any one number	35 to 1
Groups of 12 numbers	2 to 1
Groups of 6 numbers	5 to 1
Groups of 4 numbers	8 to 1
Groups of 3 numbers	11 to 1
Groups of 2 numbers	17 to 1
Group of 0, 00, 1, 2, 3	6 to 1

Basic Strategy

Roulette bets can pay handsomely. Pick the right number and your $5 bet, at odds of 35-1, is worth $175. But coming up with a winner takes tremendous powers of intuition, or blind luck. Neither lends itself to a sound betting strategy.

Serious players - the few who actually exist - like to bet "zones" of numbers, that is, groups or columns, rather than a single number, and hope the winning number falls within their zone. The most popular zones are the first, second or third 12 numbers, or a column of 12 numbers.

Also popular, perhaps because of the increased action, is betting red or black.
