One of the most important tips you could consider when playing roulette as a casino newbie is sticking to the table minimum and focusing on only playing the outside bets. Bet on either black or red for every new spin and you will enjoy a 1:1 payout while covering 18/38 potential combos.

Picking a single number is by far the riskiest bet you'll find at the roulette table. There are 37 possible outcomes, and only one of those earns you a profit, meaning you have a 2.70% chance of victory. Of course, the appeal of betting on numbers is the high payout ratio of 36:1.
