About Online Casino Roulette games

At the casino the roulette table is managed by one or more people - the number of people depends on in what country you are playing roulette. The number of roulette spins per hour also varies from country to country. You can expect about 30 spins an hour if you are playing in Europe - and up to about 100 spins per hour if you are playing in the US.

Description

There are also other small differences - the number of players around the table can vary a great deal from casino to casino. Some roulette tables have seats - at other tables you will be standing while paying roulette and using your elbows to defend your small spot around the table. Also, the number of tables may be different from casino to casino. The American roulette table normally have one table - the European roulette sometimes have two tables with the roulette table in the middle of the tables.

The person handling the roulette on behalf of the casino is called the croupier. He spins the roulette wheel in one direction then immediately shoots the roulette ball - made of plastic or ivory - in the other direction along the edge of the roulette wheel. The ball eventually loses its speed and comes to a rest in the bottom of the wheel, where there are boxes with the separate numbers. When the ball has circled the wheel twice the croupier announces: Rien ne va plus - or - No more bets please - if it's an American roulette wheel, indicating that no more bets may be placed until the next spin/round begins.

The roulette ball comes to a rest in one of the boxes at the bottom of the roulette and the croupier announces the winning number and the color - red, black or no color (if the winning number is zero or double zero - those two numbers are green).

Finally, the bets that did not win are collected by the croupier - and the winners are paid. Then a new game is ready to begin, and the players start placing their bets once again.
