The rules of roulette / how to at Hokkaido Casino

Roulette is a side performance game called ‘Queen of Casino’ started by European nobles as a form of amusement about 300 years ago. It is a very simple casino game where the dealer turns a wheel that has the numbers 1 to 36 inside and spins a ball around the top for players to guess which number the ball will finish on.

 
Also, when player guesses the number the ball will finish on, they place chips on a green color sheet on the roulette table called the layout and wait and see where the ball drops into. Roulette allows for many kinds of betting compared to other casino games, so it can be enjoyed using various strategies.

There are two kinds of tables for roulette, one is the American type which is used everywhere in the world and the other one is the European type which has been used since a long time ago, the European type has slots with 1 to 36 written on them plus a spot for 0 and the American type has the same but also includes a 00 slot also.

 
Actually, if a ball went in one of those 0 and 00 slots, the bet amount will be taken by the casino as their profit, so the European type is easier for players to win at as it has only one 0 slot. The deduction rate for the American type is 5.26％ and 2.7％ for the European type, so the European one is definitely easier to win at.
