If you’ve ever played live dealer roulette, you will agree that the outcome of the game is left entirely up to chance. Despite this, Live Roulette is one of the most popular casino games worldwide, and even online. Perhaps this is because Live Roulette is pretty easy to play, considering that all you really have to do is pick a slot and pray to get lucky.
The five main ingredients of a live dealer roulette game are the Roulette wheel, the Roulette table, the ball, the Roulette marquee, and the live roulette dealer or dealer. The Roulette wheel is the highlight of the game. Around the wheel, on the table, there are thirty-seven or thirty-eight, depending on whether you’re playing American of European Roulette, numbered pockets in two different random colors. It is in these numbers that you will place your bets and try your luck.

To play, just purchase chips from the live roulette dealer. These chips will entitle you to a chance to bet on a numbered pocket. The dealer will then ask you to place your bets. Placing your bet is not just a simple matter. Of course, there’s no telling which numbered and colored pocket the ball will eventually land on, so you would still have to start with a guess. The amount of the bet you place depends entirely on you. You can choose to bet just a single chip, or you can bet more. In live dealer roulette, there is usually what is called a table limit, which specifies the ceiling number of chips you can bet.
After every player has placed their bets, the dealer will then spin the wheel. The moment the dealer rolls a ball onto the spinning wheel, you can start crossing your fingers. This is the climax of the game. As the ball continues to move, propelled by the spinning roulette wheel, the players standing around the Roulette table are all holding their breath in anticipation and suspense. You can still place your bets or change them, even while the ball is already rolling until the dealer declares that no more bets should be placed.
Once the ball stops and lands on a certain pocket on the table, the winning number and color combination of the pocket will be shown on a Roulette marquee or an electronic scoreboard. This is also announced by the dealer. The announcement will declare the number on which the ball landed on, plus the color of the pocket, and whether the number is an odd or an even number.
The dealer will mark the winning number as he or she removes the unsuccessful bets. It is at this point that winning bets will receive their wins. Once all the winning bets are paid off, the dealer will remove the marker or the dolly on the winning number. The moment the dolly is removed, the players can begin placing new bets on the table. You can choose to continue playing, or you can choose to leave. Before leaving, however, don’t forget to cash in your chips.
