20p roulette theme, stakes, pays & symbols

Several years ago, we posted several of the so-called strategies for playing roulette successfully. Unfortunately, none of them will guarantee you a profit, of course, but this is undoubtedly one of the most perfect games to experiment with in between sessions down at the Bookmakers! If you don’t believe Einstein’s conclusion that this game is impossible to beat (it is, without cheating!), then be sure to check out our guides to the Fibonacci Roullete Strategy, James Bond Strategy, Martingale Strategy, Labouchere Strategy, Insurance Strategy and D’Alembert Roulette Strategy systems for a few useful – if speculative – methods of boosting your chances of walking away a million dollars richer! But let’s not forget - roulette allows you to place bets in a quickfire manner, certainly when compared to other card-based table games.

Things get a little bit complicated when it comes to the minimum/maximum stakes and the resulting odds and wager amounts. Just see the list below for example:

Minimum Bet €0.20 Per Spin:

• 35/1 – Max Stake 1,000 Chips: Straight Up (Single Number) 
• 17/1 – Max Stake: 2,000 Chips: Pair (Two numbers during a single round)
• 11/1 – Max Stake: 3,000 Chips: Triple (Three numbers during a round)
• 8/1 – Max Stake: 4,000 Chips: Quad (Four numbers during a round)
• 5/1 – Max Stake: 6,000 Chips: Sixer (Six numbers simultaneously)

(Note, your total bet must still reach €1.00 or above for a round to commence)

Columns, Dozens & Even Money Bets (€1.00 Per Spin)

• 2/1 – Max Stake: 10,000 Chips: Full Column (A, B, or C)
• 2/1 – Max Stake: 10,000 Chips: Dozens (A, B, or C) 
• 1/1 – Max Stake: 10,000 Chips: Red and Black (36/37 numbers covered)
• 1/1 – Max Stake: 10,000 Chips: Even and Odd (36/37 numbers covered)
• 1/1 – Max Stake: 10,000 Chips: 1-18 or 19-36 (18/37 numbers covered)

As you can see, the betting range when playing this game is determined by the size of your wager. The riskier bets are cheaper than the even money and low-paying options, so many players simply like to cover a large section of the board and hope for the best.

The chips are always worth €0.20 each, but you can place multiple chips in the same position up to the limits described above. That means the “Straight Up” bet can theoretically cost up to €200.00, whilst betting everything on black would allow you to place as much as €10,000 on a single position. Of course, you could always just flip a single 20p piece onto the felt and hope for the best!

a Brief aside

base game & modifiers

Let’s skip back for a moment though – perhaps you have never even played a game of roulette! Whilst all chips have the same value of €0.20 each, it’s possible to place them anywhere on the playfield or even on the lines that intersect multiple numbers if you wish. 

There are many ways to play Roulette, as you may have gathered in the previous section – you can put a chip on a single number for the highest odds (and lowest chance of success!), or you can go for smaller pairs, quads, columns, or groupings which will divide the prize by the number of positions each chip intersects instead. The premise of the game itself could not be more straightforward – when the ball lands in a pocket with a number matching your chip placement, you’ll be paid out following the values described on the paytable. 

Throughout history, various scientists and downright geniuses (I’m looking at you, Einstein!) have spent considerable time working on the problem of beating this game, eventually using mathematics to prove that doing so is impossible. Take it from me – they were absolutely right!
