Learn How to Conduct Proper Etiquette in Live Roulette

The game of roulette is simply a game of chance. No one can argue that a skill element is not required to play the game well because unlike poker and blackjack that involves executing hand decisions, a roulette player simply makes a bet of their choice from the roulette table layout and the roulette wheel dictates their fate.

Roulette is played by choosing from its different betting options. One can bet in variety of ways. They can bet on specific number or groups of numbers, bet by color either red or black and bet by choosing an odd or even numbers to bet on. After all players have placed their bets, the croupier declares the betting round is close and will start spinning the roulette wheel.

While the roulette wheel is spinning, a roulette ball is tossed into the wheel in the opposite direction where the wheel is spinning. There are numbered pockets which are arranged in alternate colors of red and black. Whichever number the roulette ball lands on will win.

When playing live roulette in casinos, there are standard etiquettes to be observed as casino protocol to take their roulette games in order. As a newcomer arrives to play roulette the first action to take is to approach the table and place the value of their bet on the roulette betting layout.

If a player misses the betting session there is always another one coming on the next round. It would be improper etiquette to insist to the croupier to take your bet when the betting round is already declared as close.

As the roulette ball lands on the winning number, the croupier places a mark on the area where the ball lands on and start paying the winners. It would be a proper etiquette to wait for the paying round to finish before one place their bets on the layout to avoid distracting the croupier. Touching the marker is also not a proper etiquette to observe.
