Roulette is an extremely popular casino game with surprising depth for serious players. While casual gamers might mistakenly assume it to be pure chance, its true complexity lies much deeper; with proper strategy and knowledge you can increase your winnings significantly.

The game of roulette involves a revolving wheel filled with numbered pockets containing one or two zeroes on American wheels and just one in European wheels, along with one or two compartments representing odd or even numbers, high or low numbers, or various groupings of numbers (red or black) as well as whether an odd/even number will land. A small ball is spun around this wheel until it lands in one of those compartments that indicates whether an odd/even number was odd/even/high/low; players bet on what number they think it will land there as well as various groupings of numbers (red/black), groupings/colors (red/black), groupings/groupings and whether an odd/even number was odd/even.

Each player receives a colored set of chips that allows them to differentiate themselves from other players, and may choose “outside bets”, which cover groups rather than individual digits for lower costs and greater odds. When an outside bet pays out, the dealer will clear away their bet before beginning another round.

Once players have collected all their winnings, they should request the dealer to cash out their roulette chips in exchange for regular casino chips of similar color. Although dealers may impose minimum and maximum amounts that can be cashed out, most are more than willing to give players full value of remaining roulette chips as cash out options.
