Common Superstitions Of Roulette Players

Punters looking to win at Roulette have turned to hundreds of different ways to increase the odds of the ball landing in the right pocket, from lucky charms, to seeking divine inspiration.

Here’s five of the most common superstitions around Roulette. We can’t promise that any will work, but if they help players approach a game with more confidence, then there’s nothing wrong with trying.

• Lucky Charms. Whether it’s a rabbits’ foot, four-leaf clover or a teddy bear, many punters like to carry a good luck charm around with them. It can even be an item of clothing that was worn when they landed a big win.
• Many superstitious players don’t want to be first to place their chips on the Roulette table, while others think that beating everyone else to it is the route to success.
• At land-based casinos, some players don’t like to enter via the main doors as they believe this will bring them bad luck, although we’re not sure about the logic of this approach.
• Lucky numbers are a popular superstition around Roulette, particularly in Asia where certain numbers are pronounced in a similar way to words associated with good fortune.
• Players may have a favourite croupier, or believe that a dealer of a certain sex will be unlucky. This is another superstition that can be based on previous experience, but at fair tables it really shouldn’t matter.
