Roulette is a game that is entirely driven by Lady Luck whether you play it in a real casino or online. It is not a skills-based game and the entire probability of winning a game depends upon your luck alone. But like all games, live dealer roulette too has been designed with its own set of rules.
The roulette wheel has numbers 0 to 36 on its circumference if it is a European table. For American table, it is 0 to 36 with an additional 00. Apart from that the wheel has black and red slots on it. You can bet upon a combination of the color and number or the number alone. American roulette rules are different from European roulette rules.
You can place bets in different ways and usually you can bet a maximum or minimum number of times. The wheel is generally spun in the clockwise direction. Almost all wheels of a live dealer roulette casino game will have the numbers placed in the same order on the wheels.
Bets can be placed in various ways. By betting on a single number you are having a 1/36 chance of winning the game. There are different ways in which the numbers are betted upon. Odd, even, red, black, and zero can be betted upon in umpteen ways and each type of betting has its own payoff. The more numbers you bet upon with a single chip the lesser will be your payoff on the number when you win it. You also can make an outside bet or an inside bet.
Once the live dealer announces that no more betting can be done, everyone has to stop betting. Each player is given balls of a different color to avoid confusion. The dealer spins the ball and when it stops spinning he/she places an icon that resembles an hour glass onto the winning number and pays off the winner.
