One of the beautiful things about Roulette is that it’s easy to learn. The basic rules are so simple that you don’t need any introduction. Just find your bet, drop chips onto it, and wait for the result. However, there are more betting possibilities hidden away than many casual players realize and there are also a few unique features and variants to watch out for.

• Layout: The layout of a Roulette table is very simple. On one side you have a wheel; on the other is a board. The board is filled with number squares and the goal of the game is to stack chips on the square that you want to bet on.
• Betting Options: Many bets in Roulette are straightforward. You simply need to place the chips in between the lines. This will tell the croupier which bet you have made and what payouts need to be returned. Some of the less common and most misunderstood bets include:
  • Bet on 2 Numbers: Stack chips on the vertical line that separates your chosen numbers.
  • Bet on 3 Numbers: Stack chips at the edge of the column that intersects three numbers.
  • Bet on 4 Numbers: Place your chips in the middle of four numbers, on the point that separates all four of them.
  • Bet on 6 Numbers: Similar to betting on three numbers, only you place it on the line that covers two columns.
• Different Variants: There are several different variants of Roulette, each offering something a little different and each varying considerably in regard to their RTP, features, and layouts.
  • French Roulette: The original and, in the eyes of many, the best. There is only 1 green square, which greatly reduces the house edge and increases the payouts.
  • European Roulette: This style is essentially the same as French Roulette and the two have become interchangeable.
  • American Roulette: There are 2 green squares on this Roulette variant, which means the house edge is often twice that of French/European Roulette.
  • Multi-Wheel: These variants use more than one wheel, with the second wheel often providing additional features and options, including spread betting.
  • Progressive Jackpots: These Roulette variants have progressive jackpots that payout at random.

The RTP of Roulette typically begins at 94.7% and improves from there. The green squares make all the difference in determining the payout percentages - the more of these there are, the higher the house edge will be. This is why many players consider French Roulette to be superior to American Roulette.

There is no guaranteed way to win during a session at the Roulette table. This is not a game that you can predict, and unlike games like Poker, no amount of skill will get you over the line game after game. However, there are some strategies that do work. They may not guarantee success, but if you’re a casual player with little knowledge and no success, these strategies might improve your fortune.

We have discussed the three most popular Roulette strategies below. Just remember, regardless of the strategy you use or the style you adopt, it’s important to always gamble responsibly and to stay within your budget.

1   Martingale - The Martingale system is one of the oldest and most common Roulette strategies. It’s also believed to be one of the most effective, although we’ll leave that for you to decide. This strategy certainly has its merits, but it’s also very risky and requires some hefty betting, the likes of which could lead to problem gambling.

The idea behind this system is simple: Start with a reduced stake and double it every time you lose. This continues until you win, at which point you return to your original stake. Typically, the Martingale focuses on Outside Bets and the system might look like this:

• $1 – Lose.
• $2 – Lose.
• $4 – Lose.
• $8 – Lose.
• $16 – Win.

At the end of the session, you have lost 4 spins and won just 1, but that 1 win was enough to generate a positive return.

2   Paroli - If you think the Martingale System is a little flawed due to the way it makes you chase losses, then the Paroli System may be more suitable. This system works in a similar way, only you double your stake following a win and not a loss.

There are several different variants of this system. Some recommend playing it exactly like the Martingale, returning to your original stake as soon as you lose and continuing to double your stake when you win. Others recommend a return to your original stake when you lose or when you win three times in a row.

3   D’Alembert - The D’Alembert system employs something also known as the Gambler’s Fallacy, which should tell you all that you need to know about its efficiency. This system is based on the mistaken belief that if Red wins 3 times in a row, then the odds of Black winning the next spin will be greatly improved.

The truth is that every spin is independent of the one that went before it. Just because the wheel has been landing on the number 10 all night, doesn’t mean that it will continue to do so, nor does it mean that it will start landing on other numbers to balance things out.
