Live American Roulette Rules

The game follows the standard American Roulette rules. It focuses on a spinning wheel that has been divided in to 38 segments, the numbers 0 to 36 inclusive and a special 00 segment. A ball is released into the wheel, and you need to bet on which of the segments it will come to rest on.

The game allows you to bet on far more than just individual numbers. The segments on the wheel have been coloured red or black, except for 0 and 00, which are green. Furthermore, the numbers do not run sequentially around the wheel. Added to this is the layout of the betting area, which creates more betting possibilities. It allows you to bet on groups of numbers, such as those formed by the layout of the wheel/betting area, and those that share characteristics, such as all the odds or evens.

This means that there many different types of bet:

• Straight Up: A bet on a specific number.
• Split Bet: A bet on two adjacent numbers on the betting area.
• Street Bet: A bet on three numbers in a vertical line (a street) on the betting area.
• Square Bet: A bet on four numbers that form a square on the betting area.
• Basket Bet: A bet on the numbers 0, 00, 1, 2 and 3.
• Line Bet: A bet on six numbers, two streets that are next to each another in the betting area.
• Column Bet: A bet on the twelve numbers that make up a horizontal line in the betting area.
• Dozen Bet: A bet on the first, second or third group of 12 numbers (1-12, 13-24 and 25-36).
• Red or Black Bet: A bet on the ball either a red or a black number.
• Even or Odd Bet: A bet on all the even or all the odd numbers.
• Low or High Bet: A bet on whether the ball will land on a low or high number (1 – 18 or 19 – 36).

There are also special shortcuts to place Final, Complete Bets and Half Complete bets:

• Final Bet: This is a bet on all the numbers that share the same last number. For example, a final bet on the number 2 would place chips on 2, 12, 22 and 32.
• Complete Bet: This covers all the betting positions associated with a certain number. The bet consists of a Straight Bet, Split Bet, Corner Bet, Street Bet and Line Bet.
• Half-Complete Bet: This covers the same betting positions as the Complete bet, but without the Street and Line Bets.

Simply place your chips on the relevant sections of the betting area in the allocated time. Once the time has expired, the croupier will release the ball into the wheel. You can watch as it gradually comes to a stop, and you will then be paid out for any winning bets.

A Basic Strategy for Live American Roulette

When playing Live American Roulette, many players will tend to apply a betting system that will enhance their likelihood of winning. One of the most used betting systems for Live American Roulette is the Martingale strategy. Essentially, players have to double their bet after each loss to recoup their losses and make a profit. To successfully use the Martingale, you have to bet on outcomes that have an almost 50% chance of winning. Those bets include High/Low, Odd/Even or Red/Black.

To give you an example, if you set a starting stake of $1 for the Martingale strategy, you keep betting $1 so long as you are winning. Once you lose, you double your bet to $2. If you win, you return back to the starting wager of $1. If you lose, you double again to $4. This process continues until you eventually win and return back to the starting stake.

The aim of this strategy is to recoup all your losses and make a small profit. However, to successfully use the Martingale, you must have a large bankroll to withstand a long losing streak. It is also important to set a smaller starting stake, just in case you do end up on a losing streak.
