Roulette Tables at Casino King

Since its invention in France over 200 years ago, Roulette has become one of the most popular casino table games in the world. The name Roulette comes from the French for ‘little wheel’ and the whole point of the game is to bet on where a ball will come to rest in a spinning wheel. Roulette allows players to develop advanced betting strategies and offers the chance to win vast sums of money.

How to Play

As mentioned the idea in Roulette is to bet on where a ball will come to rest in a spinning wheel. Depending on the version of Roulette that you are playing the wheel is most likely divided into 37 or 38 numbered segments. Furthermore, these segments are coloured red or black. Next to the spinning wheel is a betting area which has the numbers from the wheel displayed together with a number of special options. You place the chips in the betting area on the numbers or options that you wish to bet on. Thanks to the design of the game it is possible to bet on individual numbers, groups of numbers such as Reds or Evens or groups of numbers formed by the layout of the betting area. After placing your bet just click on ‘Spin’ to release the ball into the spinning wheel.

Special Features

There are essentially two types of Roulette game, American and European. The main difference between them is the number of segments the wheel is divided into, European Roulette has 37 numbered segments while American Roulette has 38. Because of these two versions you will find that individual games have their own special features. For instance, for a return to the purest form of Roulette you could play Premium French Roulette which has retained the original French names for the different types of bet and also has a special La Partage rule which sees half of even money bets returned if the ball lands on zero. Some roulette games, such as Premium European Roulette, have an extra betting area called the ‘Racetrack’. This allows you to quickly and easily place complicated bets that are designed to cover as much of the wheel as possible with the minimum amount of chips. Many of the Roulette games also have history windows where you can see the results of recent spins.

Variants on Offer

As mentioned, there are two broad categories of Roulette, American and European. Within these categories you will find a number of variants to enjoy such as Premium American Roulette, Premium Roulette Pro and European Roulette Multiplayer. Some Roulette variants have special features. For instance if you are looking for more betting action you should take a look at Multi Wheel Roulette which allows you to bet on up to six Roulette wheels simultaneously. Alternatively, if you are new to the game then take a look at Mini Roulette which has a wheel with just 13 numbers on and is a great way to become familiar with how Roulette is played. You will find many versions of Roulette to enjoy at Casino King each of which brings something a bit different to this exciting casino classic.
