Online Baccarat Guide at CelticCasino.com

Roulette was originally developed in England in the 1700's derived from a game named Roly Poly. Roly Poly had only black and white betting zone without the numbers. The game was redesigned by the French in the late 1700's to add the numbers. At first, the American wheel only had thirty one numbers and the zero, double zero, and a third zero represented by an American eagle. The European roulette wheel of today has only one zero. The American roulette wheel has a zero and a double zero. Both the European and American wheels of today have thirty six numbers. Roulette is one of the most popular games in the world. Players, which can be up to eight per table, play against the casino represented by the dealer, who spins the roulette wheel and manages the bets and payments. The American wheel has thirty eight spaces for thirty six numbers, a double and a single zero.

To play our roulette, put your wager on the chosen numbers even the zero and double zero located on the table layout or on the outside betting zones. After all the players have made their wager the dealer sets to spin the wheel and lets the ball loose. Just a few seconds pass before the ball is set to fall on the spaces, the dealer yells "no more bets." From that point on, players cannot make nor change any bets until the ball falls on a space. Only after the dealer has put the dolly on the winning number on the roulette table and takes all the losing wagers, you may then begin to place your new wagers while the dealer pays the winning players. The winning players are those with wagers that are on or around the number in which the ball fell. Also the wagers on the outside layout of the table win only if their number is the one represented where the ball falls.

There are various ways to make roulette wagers. Every wager covers a different group of numbers and has a different layout, as displayed in the winnings table area.

You can wager on any number, even zero, by putting the chip on the middle of a number.

You can wager on any two numbers by putting a chip on the line that connects the two numbers.

You may wager on any three numbers by putting a chip on the inside left line of the roulette table that is close to the corresponding column of three numbers.

You may wager on four numbers by putting chips at the corner portion where four numbers intersect.

You may wager on the numbers three, two, one, zero, and double zero by putting chips in the inside left boundary line between one and zero.

You may wager on two street wagers (for example, the six different roulette numbers in two columns of three roulette numbers), by putting your chip on the inside left line where the line dividing the two columns meet.

There are three sections marked "2 to 1" at the lower portion of a column of numbers. You may put wagers for all these numbers by putting your chip in one of these sections. If any of the numbers in your row wins, you win on a rate of two to one with the zero and double zero losing.

You may wager on a bunch of twelve numbers by putting your chip in one of the three section labeled "3^rd 12," "2^nd 12," or "1^st 12." If one of your twelve numbers wins, you get paid on a two to one ratio with zero and double zero losing.

Red/Black, Even/Odd, Low/High Bets

You can put a wager in one of the sections on the left, corner of the table that has half the roulette's numbers, not counting the zero and double zero. Every section contains eighteen numbers. You win on a rate of one to one on all of these wagers, with zero and double zero being losing numbers.

Winning Number Display

The winning number display has the results for the earlier thirteen spins.

NOTE: You can put wagers that have two, three, or even four numbers. For instance, using the zero, you can put wagers on: 1+0, 1+2 +0, 2+0, 3+0, or 1+2+3+0.

All of our games are played by first entering the game, selecting the table limits, wagering, and looking at the result of your wager and game play options. We will discuss the levels of game play, and show you all the necessary information for you to become a great player.

Here is some detailed information of each of these levels of the game play evolution:

Starting the game: Once you have chosen a game from the game menu, a screen will popup.

This is the game screen. You will have the game table, the console for the game, and various buttons.

Choosing the table limits: Before commencing the game you can be shown with a screen that has three options for table limits. These are the limits that will affect your wagers-you cannot wager less than the minimum or more than the maximum. These wager limits affect to every wager zone. For example, in Blackjack, the table limits affect every wager zone individually. If you are not asked to select a table limit the game would have been given a table limit by default and it is shown on a table's plaque.

Placing your bet: Once you have chosen your limits for the table, the limits screen will be taken off (the table limits will still be shown on the plaque located to the right of the chip zone on the table). On the left corner, bottom of the table are a bunch of chips, each chip with a different value labeled on its surface. On the casino table are one or several wager zones. These zones are displayed with a lighter area. In Keno, Roulette, Sic Bo and other games you could move your mouse around the table to see the various wager zones.

To place a bet, press on a chip, press in the wager zone. The chip with the quantity you have chosen will be shown in the wager zone. The quantity of the chip will be subtracted from your gaming balance and placed back to your bet.

To remove a bet, press-click on the chosen chip (click and hold the control button and then press on the chosen chip). The chip will be removed from the casino table, and the chip's value will be subtracted from your bet and placed into your balance.

Deal/spin/roll: According to the game that you are playing, you have to commence the game play by clicking the spin, roll, or deal buttons. These buttons will be placed in the middle of the table. When you click the button, the dealer will draw the initial cards, spin the sic bo tumbler, or spin the wheel to commence the game.

Game play: The way the game progresses is based on every individual game. Games, like blackjack, have a game progression that goes through many levels where you have to choose between various plays. Other games, like baccarat, have only one level-the cards are drawn and you either lose or win.

The rules for the games are covered in extensive detail. To access these rules, select the game from the menu located above this rules screen.

Starting a new game: Once you have finished the game, you can play a new game by pressing on the new game icon. If playing a casino card game the cards are always reshuffled at the beginning of every new game. At the start of the new game, you may use the re-bet option. This will put the equal wagers on the table that you made in the earlier game. Just press the re-bet button.
