Roulette offers a wide variety of bets and betting options. The process of roulette betting is not a complicated one, and fortunately, unlike craps, you are given a good length of time at the table to choose where you want to lay your money down. Two types of betting you can practice at the wheel are called the outside bets and the inside bets. You are required to play the table minimum at least on each of your outside bets; on inside roulette betting the total of all of your bets must meet or exceed the table minimum. This bit of information is all you need to know in order to delve right into some roulette betting action. Lets start by describing each bet and how/where you play it. Roulette betting - outside bets
The outside bets on a roulette board are simply the bets that reside 'outside' of the main playing area of 38 numbers. There are no winning outside bets for 0 or 00 results. Different types of outside bets: Red or Black - you can choose to bet on the outcome either being a red number, or a black number. Place this bet right in the area with the words 'red' or 'black' in them, which should be easy to reach from beside the table. This is a very common form of roulette betting, as it is easy to understand that you have almost half a chance of winning. People often make the bet making the incorrect assumption that if 5 blacks were spun, there is a better than 50% chance the sixth spin will be red. This is not logical and the reason why is described in more detail on our

Once a player (you) has bet, both the player and the dealer are dealt two cards each. The player's cards are dealt face up. The dealer's first card is dealt face down. The Ace can be used as a 1 or 11 points. Any card combined with an Ace, other than a card that has a value of 10, is considered a "soft hand". Meaning that if the player has 4 and an Ace, it would be considered 5 or soft 15. The King, Queen, Jack and Ten are 10 points each; all other cards, are worth their face values. If the players first two cards total 21, then it's a natural Blackjack. Blackjack is the highest hand. If you are dealt any two cards other than a Blackjack, you may "stand" (refuse any further cards), or "hit" ( accept another card) A player who stands will not receive additional cards. Cards are dealt until the player stands or "busts" (exceeds 21) When you bust, you immediately lose your bet regardless of the dealer's hand result. After the player's final actions, the dealer reveals the down card. If the dealer's hand is 16 or less, the dealer must continue to "hit" until reaching 17 or more. The dealer must stand on soft 17 and cannot take additional cards. If the dealer exceeds 21 ("bust"), and the player has stood without busting, the player wins. When the dealer stands on 17 or greater and has a higher count than the player - the dealer wins; if the player has the higher count - the player wins. If the player and the dealer have the same totals, it's a "push" (tie)

Chemin de Fer is a flexible version of baccarat, but in Banque you can find less of that character. The main difference between Chemin de Fer and Banque is in the rotating role of the banker. While in Chemin de Fer the role of the banker moves after he lose his stakes it is not so in Banque, in this baccarat's variation the banker continue to play, as long as he has the funds to support himself.Three packs of cards are used in this game, more can be found in use in different clubs and casinos but that is uncommon. The banker holds his position until all cards are dealt, or if he cannot finance his role, or if he decides to retire. The position on the bank is put to sell before the game commences and the highest bidder wins, though in some places the first to put his name on the list may take the role of the banker, while doing so with any amount of money he wishes to risk. The banker must play at least one hand before retiring, and when he retires he must announce the amount he earned or lost, and the next banker must start his role with the same amount of money being present in time of the banker's retirement. The role of the banker moves in rotation, and any player may decline the offer to become the banker. The past banker takes the place of his heir. After a player takes the role of the banker the game commence, the croupier shuffles the decks and handing them forward to the punters who then shuffle them if they wish to do so, the last shuffle is reserved to the banker, so do the option to choose the punter who would cut the cards. The banker sits in the middle of the baccarat table, facing him is the croupier, and between them, from each side of the table, there are five players in each side, thus ten in total, which is a full table. Other punters may bet outside of the table but only if the stakes of the players is lower than the banker's.After the cards are shuffled and cut the punters lay their bets and the banker deals three cards. One to the player to his right, one to the players to his left and then one card to himself. Thr procedure reapets once again, thus ending the banker and the two players, with two crads each.The right wing wins or lose depending on the cards given to them by the banker, the same goes to the left wing. After a punter loses his cards a next hand is dealt to the player sitting next to him.The croupier do not interfere unless the players or the banker disobeyed the rules. As for the rules for dealing a third card, when a banker stands and so on can be found in our article about Chemin de Fer, the rules are the same in both cases. A player may "go bank" at any given time, if he lose he may do so once again, but no more than three times. The player to the banker's right has the first claim to "go bank", If two players, from both sides of the table, decide to "go bank" then, in case they win, they split the bank among them. A player may also split two cards, thus making two hands, and go bank with them. For more information read our articles about Chemin de Fer and PuntoBanco.
