Bets like black and red, odd and even have to be $15. Anything on the table just need to total $15.

Most casinos you can spread the money throughout numbers, but must meet the mimimum total. Simultaneously, you can also bet outside, but each outside spot must meet table minimum, and cannot be combined with inside bets to meet minimum

Total is total not each. With that , most tables are outside bets have to meet table mIn and inside bets have to meet table mIn but that’s it

To caveat - $15 minimum on individual outside bets - inside bets to total $15

I did the same thing. I’ve played roulette on my phone on an app for practice before I went. Just to learn a little bit.

$15 minimum. So I throw down $100 with my ID. I then put $5 chips on red, 19-36, odd = $15. The dealer said that’s wrong sir you cannot do that!

I was confused for a minute. Then I realized. You can only put $5 chips on to the actual physical numbers themselves. She told me only $15 minimums for red/black, the 19-36, 1-18 etc, odd/even.

CoinPoker doesn’t offer roulette, but I’m loving their poker-themed variant someday. That is wild.

I play a few numbers I’ve marked as “lucky”, without any math behind it. And it did pay off well last month at TG Casino.

Once, I tried the Martingale system on Lucky Block. It was fun at first, but it requires deep pockets.

To me, the best strategy is stopping after a win. I broke even last week.

I see roulette strategies on forums sound smart until they don’t. At Instant Casino, I keep it simple and prefer corner bets.

Best strategy is to only play single 0 "European" roulette.

There's no strategy. No matter what numbers you play or bets you make, given enough time you will eventually lose all your money.

Casinos have no interest in giving you 50/50 odds.

There aren't 36 numbers on the wheel. There's 37-39 because 0/00/000 exist.

It's impossible to win long term.

Some different (losing) strategies will help you control variance however.

How is that different than betting on red or black? Evens or odds? Either way you have close to but slightly below a 50/50 chance. In the long run you’ll lose because you’re a little outnumbered because of the green/0

There is a large felt area where bets are put down. The dealer and the surveilance on camera are trained to watch for people changing their bet after betting is finished.

Each player has different colored chips. There is a big table with all the possible options that you can bet on. There's a space for each number, for black, for red, for odd numbers, etc. You have to put your chips on the table before the dealer waves and says no more bets. There is a camera right above it. Then the ball lands on a particular color. If your bet wins, the dealer puts the correct amount of money on top.

People already talked about the different chips. But when you play roulette the dealer will call no more bets, this also means that there shouldn't be anyone moving or touching anything on the table so it's really easy to see someone moving stuff when no one is supposed to be touching anything.

The really ELI5 answer is: They watch you.

The dealer is watching first and foremost, it's their responsibility. Most of them have also been doing it long enough that even if they don't see you place extra chips on a winning bet (called capping a bet, not to be confused with pulling money off a losing bet called pinching a bet) they will often notice if they look away and look back and more chips were there than they remembered.

But cameras are always watching. Even if the eyes behind the camera aren't watching you at that very moment the camera is recording so it's as simple as going back on a youtube video to double check if anyone did anything funny on that table.

And it's a crime. Around these parts it's similar to theft and at best you're going to give the money back and get your ass kicked out and at worst end up in jail.

From last fall: How to Beat Roulette

Double on the black until you hit profit at least that's what I do when playing at rolling riches though I start with small amounts like $5 or $10 this always works think the rtp is great there

Bet on double 00 then profit!

skip it and head for the blackjack table, or sports betting if you can study it some

I used to run a variation of the nightingale system on roullette.

I'd bet $1 on 1-12 and $1 on 13-24. The odds of a win in that one roll are very much in your favor. If I lost I'd double what I was out on the same bet. Lose again? Double again.

Theoretically if there were no max bet on the table you could never lose. I'd search for tables that had low minimums and high maximums to increase the number of bets one could place before maxing out. These were not fancy casinos. I once played for dimes on a table with ciggie burns.

Also one zero on the table vs two zeros halves the house advantage. I had a spreadsheet to tell me each bet as I lost. The bets increase exponentially as you lose. But each roll is well in your favor and the chances of losing many times in a row is tiny.

I did this on a vacation level for years. Never lost. Never made a lot either. A few hundred here and there. Paid for my rooms usually. Its not a lot of fun. But the dopamine is there.

In reality I never came near the max bet where i'd really lose. Until one day. Fremont st. I lost like 6 or 7 rolls in a row. Crazy odds but not maxxed out. But I didn't have it in me to place the thousands on the table neccessary for that last bet. But I watched. Id have lost.

I lost like $850 on that bad run. Stopped after that. Except the one day I wanted to show my new wife. Lost asap. Stopped for real.

Every casino will have its own table maximum, and those might even differ within the same casino.

How do you position the ball when you go to spin?

Reach into the wheel and have your arm straight. Don't move your arm, not even your wrist. Hold the ball between your middle finger and thumb. Good luck! Remember: Practice makes perfect

Practice. Ask to go on whatever table gives you the most practice for your weaker hand. Don't use your whole arm. Don't even use your wrist. It's one smooth motion of your middle finger against the rim. Do not "click" or "snap" your fingers.

Practice fast spinning and slow spinning as well. These will come in handy when it comes to your companies speed rates and will impress your inspectors when managing games. For example as soon as you're done paying out and have nothing to do but wait just give the ball a big long fast spin, gives the players time to place their bets and keeps the game going. Give it a slow spin if you have a small game or spent ages paying out on a big win or multiple wins.

Most casinos will let you use a "basic strategy" card at the BJ table. If you're new, use it. They cost about $1 at the gift shop, and if you go to one of the instructional classes, they may give you one.

Most casinos have really cheap minimum bets during early day hours/weekdays. They also often offer beginner classes in several different games during the day. If you are staying there, or are close enough to get there at breakfast time, inquire about those. The beginner classes and low-minimum times are a relaxed way to learn about the games without losing much.

Always tip your waitress. Whether you order a pepsi or something fancy and alcoholic, they expect the tips.
They'll take cash or they'll take the $1 chips. Don't use roulette chips, since they aren't easily converted back to cash.
