Roulette remains a game that has strong appeal for casino patrons who love a fast-paced table game without having to deal with the intricacies of strategy, card-counting and trying to beat the dealer via probability and statistics. If you’re planning on heading for the roulette table anytime in the near future, keep the following tips in mind.

Roulette is first and foremost a game of chance. Anyone who speaks of a strategic approach to the game is either lying through teeth or just plain ignorant. The only systems that exist are the French bets like Thirds of the Wheel, Orphans, and Neighbors of Zero, and the martingale/grand martingale systems. The former are pre-determined patterns of laying out your chips on the board. The latter refers to the quantity of the chips you bet at a given moment in the game, depending on how many consecutive losing or winning streaks you’re currently on.

Imagine placing a $1 chip on every inside bet on the roulette table. On a European table, that’s 37 squares (including zero); on an American table that’s 38 (this table has both a single and double zero, so it’s one extra square). If you glance at all your chips, you’ll soon realise that you’ve just outlaid $37–$38, but the very best payout on a straight-up is $35. You’ll end up spending more money trying to cover the board than you will in actual casino payouts.

Outside bets encompass a large range of the roulette table. You could choose to bet on black, red, odd, even, dozens and columns. These are all much “safer” bets than the inside of the board, but their payouts tend to be limited to even money (that’s a 2:1 payout). Of course, an unusually large bet can still net you a very handsome profit, like it did for Ashley Revell who staked nearly $136,000 on red in Las Vegas. Revell won the round and walked away with double his money. Imagine if Revell had bet that entire sum straight up: that would be over $4.7 million! The higher the risk, the greater the reward.

Remember, there are eight potential wheels in play here. This is in no way an insistence that you bet using all of them. You have the option of disabling as many wheels as you feel comfortable with. You can just as easily play the game in a single-wheel style. And each round, you get to change your selection. Crazy Vegas exists to give its patrons as many options as possible suited to their particular betting style and the unique disposition of each and every player.
