NT brings in outdoor mask mandate, as Territory COVID-19 hospital admissions rise to new peak of 111 – ABC News

Posted: February 1, 2022 at 2:20 am

The number of peoplein Northern Territory hospitals withCOVID-19 has reached a new peak of 111, as the NT government introduces a seven-day outdoor mask mandate to combat rising coronavirus case numbers.

Of the 111 people now in Territory hospitals,10 patients are receiving oxygen and five are in intensive care,Health Minister Natasha Fyles said on Saturday.

She also said the NT had recorded 828 new cases of coronavirus in the 24 hours up to 8pm on Friday.

Of those, 648 were recorded from rapid antigen tests while the remainder came from PCR tests.

There are now 4,650 active cases of COVID-19 in the NT.

"We're seeing case numbers right across the Northern Territory. COVID is in every region," Ms Fyles said.

"We're seeinglarge numbers of people that are asymptomatic, they're feeling mildly unwell and they're able to be cared for at home."

Ms Fylessaid case numbers seemed to be rising as people returned to the Territory from interstate in the lead-up to schools going back this week.

She also announced thatFriday's daily case tally had been revised up from 940 to 1,006, after the addition of more positive RAT test results.

Last week, the NT government began revising up daily COVID case totals for the previous day's cases, adding hundreds of cases to both Wednesday and Thursday's figures.

Ms Fyles said from 6pm on Saturday, a seven-day outdoor mask mandate would come into effect across the Territory.

The new mandate will apply to people aged 12 and over outdoorswhenever they cannot maintain a 1.5 distance from others,but will not apply while exercising.

The NT-wideindoor mask mandate remains in place.

Ms Fyles said the outdoor mask mandatehad been introducedin response to growing COVID-19 case numbers in the NT.

"This is just considering we've seen a large increase in those new cases, which we largely attribute to the end of the school holidaysand that higher number of interstate arrivals," she said.

"We really want to get our case numbers back down to that average what we were seeing,[that] around 450 [cases] seven-day average."

Deputy Chief Health Officer Jacqui Murdoch said the outdoor mask mandate was aimed at slowing thespread of COVID-19 in the community.

"What we have seen and what we know from the international evidenceis that masks are really effective at stopping the spread of Omicron, and so that's why we've recommended the introduction of an outdoor mask mandate, to try and stop those increased numbers translating into more community transmission," she said.

Ms Fyles also said lockdowns in Gunyangara (Ski Beach), Wurrumiyanga on the Tiwi Islands and Utopia in Central Australia ended at 2pm on Saturdayas scheduled.

Ampilatwatja,Milikapiti and Elcho Island (including Galiwin'ku) remain in lockdown, while lockouts are still in place in Alice Springs,Amoonguna,Yuendumu and Yuelamu.

Ms Fyles said authorities would decide in the morning whether lockdown or lockout restrictions in some other communities could be lifted.

"We certainly haven't ruled out further measures, or further changes going forward," she said.

Ms Fyles said case numbers at the Alice Springs prison had jumped in the latest reporting period, with 154 new cases recorded there on Friday.

"That's a significant increase," she said.

There are now a total of 274 cases at the facility.

The rise in cases came after atesting team was sent intothe prison to test everyone for COVID-19, Ms Fyles said.

She said she understood all of the 154 people who tested positive yesterday were asymptomatic, though she couldn't say if any had been taken to hospital.

The full vaccination rate at the prisonstands at 86 per cent.

Ms Fyles also said there had been 22 new cases recorded in Milingimbi in Arnhem Land.

"Our officials are just working through what assistance they will need in this situation, so we can provide them withsupport and resources," she said.

She said health authorities were also working withWadeye after thecommunity recorded its first COVID-19 case yesterday.

In praise of Australian Aboriginal art the oldest surviving culture in the world – Financial Times

Posted: at 2:20 am

Steve Martin was astonished the first time he walked into a room full of Australian Aboriginal art. It was something I had never seen before, says the actor and writer. And Ive been collecting art for 50 years.

The line-based works, by Warlimpirrnga Tjapaltjarri, a painter from Australias desert interior, were rendered in rich yellows and ochres. The canvases seemed to undulate. Enchanted, Martin left the Lower East Side gallery with a painting. He took it back to the apartment on Central Park West that he shares with his wife, Anne Stringfield, and set about finding a place for it among their Morandis and Hockneys. Ive been hooked ever since, he says six years later.

Martins self-described nave appreciation of the earthy tones, intricate dotting and flowing lines of Aboriginal desert painting soon became something more:I started ordering books, and I realised how complex thework was. He read about Country, an ancient philosophy in which the ecosystem, human inhabitants and past, present and future of a place are inextricable; and he learned that Country has helped inspire many contemporary Australian Aboriginal artists to create. These painters, he realised, were drafting nothing less than blueprints for existence. The results were beautiful.

These pictures could hang next to any works of the same period and hold their own, Martin says now. I daydream about seeing themmixedin with paintings by Agnes MartinandJackson Pollock.

Martin may not need to daydream for much longer. The contemporary art world is catching up fast to Aboriginal art, and some of its biggest names are deepening their engagement with it in 2022. Earlier thismonth, Gagosian opened a solo exhibition of works by the late Emily Kame Kngwarreye at one of its Paris galleries Emily: Desert Painter of Australia runs until 12March. InMay, Sothebys New York will host a dedicated Aboriginal art auction following its Evening Sales for contemporary and modern art.

Major museum shows have begun to proliferate, starting with the Tate Moderns A Year in Art: Australia 1992, which has proven so popular since it opened last June that its run has been extended for another six months. Ever Present: First Peoples Art of Australia will open at the National Gallery Singapore in May, showcasing 150 works from the collections of the National Gallery of Australia (NGA) and Wesfarmers Arts. And, back in New York, the Metropolitan Museum of Art is finalising plans for new galleries with a space dedicated to contemporary Australian Aboriginal work.

Its a hugely exciting moment, says Hetti Perkins, curator of another big show, the NGAs fourth National Indigenous Art Triennial, which opens on 26 March in Canberra. And its timely. This is art from the oldest surviving culture in the world, made by a population that has lived sustainably for millennia. These artists can show us the way forward.

Painting was ameans of preserving their understanding ofCountry

There have been flurries of excitement about Australian Aboriginal art before, but this is the first time that commercial and institutional heavy hitters have moved in tandem. Chief among them is gallerist Larry Gagosian, an old friend of Martins. In 2019, Martin staged a private exhibition of Aboriginal art from his collection for his friends in New York. The next day, over lunch, Gagosian suggested they do a proper show together. That exhibition, Desert Painters, was met with such enthusiasm that the gallery quickly mounted a second one in Los Angeles and a third in Hong Kong.

Then, in December 2019, Sothebys held its first dedicated Australian Aboriginal art auction in New York, netting $2.8m from 29 lots, including $596,000 for a painting by market leader Kngwarreye. A few months later, just before the pandemic took hold, Australian fine art dealer DLan Davidson arrived in New York and mounted a sale of work by her and other desert painters that achieved more than $3m. New York eclipsed our expectations, not only in sales results, but also in terms ofthe sophisticated way the audience engaged with thework, says Davidson, who has become Martins primary Aboriginal art adviser.

At all three events, the artist who achieved the strongest results was Kngwarreye (Ung-wah-ray). Her story is enthralling: she lived in a remote desert area known as Utopia; began painting on canvas in 1988, when she was about 80 years old; and produced more than 3,000 works in a dizzying array of styles before her death in 1996.

Kngwarreye electrified the Australian art scene during the 1990s and her paintings, known as Emilys, soon became hot commodities. It was certainly on the strength of her work that she became such a high-profile artist, butit was also the fact that she was so outside of that contemporary art world, says Perkins. I think people were intrigued by the fact that this very elderly woman, living in a very remote community, was responsible for this extraordinary vision. It was almost mythic.

Kngwarreyes exuberant dot paintings, kinetic line-based work and mastery of colour fundamentally changed the way contemporary art lovers in Australia and beyondengaged with Aboriginal art. Comparisons with abstract expressionists abounded. But Kngwarreye had not studied 20th-century movements. Rather, her alternately sensuous and muscular mark-making sprang from her deep knowledge of Country and from the ceremonial body painting of Utopia.

The $596,000 Sothebys result was far from a high-water mark for Kngwarreye: two years earlier, in Sydney, her painting Earths Creation I fetched $1.6m at auction. Davidson describes her as a force of nature in the market. Emily is head and shoulders above any of her peers, hesays. Shes going to break into the mainstream contemporary art world, and thats a matter of time.

Its an exciting moment. These artists can show us the way forward

Kngwarreye is not the only Aboriginal artist to have begun practising in old age: many others, past and present,wait untiltheir understanding of Country is fully formed before attempting to create work. But lively younger artists are also increasingly commanding the spotlight. The majority of young Australian Aboriginal people now live in cities, away from their ancestral homes, and these urban artists are creating work thatcontends with feelings of dislocation and with Australias violent colonial past. And younger practitioners from remote communities are gaining prominence, too. Beyonc caused a stir last year when sheInstagrammed a photo of herself in front of a work bydesert artist Yukultji Napangati (the artwork in question was a gift from Jay-Z).

Then theres Daniel Walbidi (Wal-biddi), a thirtysomething who lives by the ocean in Australias tropical north-west and paints intensely saturated visionsof Country in yellow, red and metallic tones. Heworks slowly, and demand for his paintings far outstrips supply.Some of Australias top curators grumbleprivately about not being able to acquire Walbidis for their institutions. Hes a visionary, says Nick Mitzevich, director of the NGA.

Walbidis homeland is actually a desert region hundreds of miles from the coast, but a widespread drought in the 1950s forced his clan group to relocate. He began painting in high school and soon decided that he wanted to depict his peoples place of origin. He sat down with community elders and asked to hear their stories. WhenI did that, a new world was revealed to me, Walbidi says. I had a revelation of knowledge, and my connection to Country was manifested.

In the years that followed, Walbidi encouraged the elders around him to begin painting as a means of preserving their understanding of Country. Several, such as Weaver Jack and Jan Billycan, have become successful artists in their own right. People of that age see the world differently, and Country differently, Walbidi says. Old people keep the knowledge and maintain authority. Without elders, you dont know anything, really.

Walbidi is building a profile in America: he featured inthe Sothebys 2019 auction and his Australian representatives at Short Street Gallery have booked himaUSshow later this year after fielding numerous enquiries.He doesnt seem to mind the attention, but sayshe has no plans to leave north-west Australia. His practice is fed by daily life with his people. Im living andbreathing it, he says.

If Kngwarreye is the A-lister and Walbidi is the rising star, then Angelina Pwerle (Pull-uh) is the cult favourite one on whom a growing number of institutions and collectors are quietly placing bets. Thought to be about 75 years old (there is no paper record of her birth), she has been developing her assured and remarkably detailed style of dot-work since the 1990s. Her paintings, which conjure images of distant galaxies, cloud formations and geological phenomena, practically hum with energy.

The way her practice has developed is extraordinary, says Mitzevich. She has refined the Central Desert dotting technique and used it to create abstract visions that are quite distinct from those made by her contemporaries.

Those visions are inspired by Utopia, where Pwerle hasspent her entire life, and by the native bushplum, a spiritually significant fruit that grows inabundance there. San Francisco gallerist Todd Hosfeltvividly recalls visiting the office of billionaire Kerry Stokes in Perth and seeing the Bush Plum works forthefirst time. They made the hair on the back of myneckstand up, he says.

Pwerles work was featured last month in Salon 94s group show at Art Basel Miami; it will be part of the Mets touring exhibition The Shape of Time: Art and Ancestors of Oceania, which will travel to two international venues in 2023. For now, she is something of an insiders secret whose work is tightly held. Although her paintings are part of major private collections, the significant works have rarely shown in the secondary market to date, notesDavidson. But that could easily soon change. From a [broader] marketperspective, were at the very beginning stages, and I could not feel more excited, he adds. Ithasnt even started yet.

Steve Martin agrees. So much contemporary art is for billionaires, he admits. For Anne and I, its almost unmanageable: you buy one picture and youve spent your 10-year budget. But here is this fantastic trove of beautiful work that we really love. Its not just standard gallery fare. And its still relatively attainable. Its also another welcome example of the market rectifying past omissions, he says. A lot of black artists in America who were overlooked have become very collectable. And this should too. This deserves to be.

Pwerle herself remains happily apart from the growing buzz. She speaks only her native Anmatyerre and rarely leaves the Utopia region. Like Kngwarreye and Walbidi, she paints to articulate the profundity of the life system that she is part of, and to ensure its survival. This is a constant engagement, she says, through a translator. This is a spiritual connection to place. Asked to explain her work, she says, simply: My Bush Plum paintings represent the whole thing: all of Country.

Why This Man is Selling Off His Toronto Homes to Build in the Metaverse – Move Smartly

Posted: at 2:20 am

New listings in a high potential area of east-end Toronto fuel an even bigger vision.

When real estate investor Albert Shoihet recently approached the team at Realosophy Realty about selling off a lucrative portfolio of east downtown Toronto homes, his motivation for selling was very surprising - even to a group of seasoned brokers and agents.

Shoihet had acquired two properties around Queen Street East/Coxwell Avenue and one east of the Beach on Kingston Road after being struck by the area's yet-to-be-fully-realized potential.

But Shoihet now has his sights on an even bigger real estate opportunity in the Metaverse.

The Metaverse, according to Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, is a concept that blends the physical and digital world via virtual and augmented reality. Even more technically, according to XR Today, it is [a] simulated digital environment that uses augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and blockchain, along with concepts from social media, to create spaces for rich user interaction mimicking the real world.

Think The Sims, only we are the characters and the money is actually real no signs of there being cheat codes in the Metaverse yet. But in any case, you can already get mortgages there.

The vision may sound outlandish, but then Shoihet is no stranger to great adventures.

After graduating from Western University in 2014 with a degree in sociology, he embarked on a combined career as an entrepreneur and a professional squash player, winning an Ontario championship and qualifying for Team Canada for the World championships in 2017 before eventually retiring.

Alongside, Shoihet experienced the usual ups and downs of an entrepreneurial life, experimenting with several different projects. Prior to the pandemic, he invested in rental properties in Owen Sound, Ontario before selling to a larger investor and moving on to invest in east end Toronto.

Struck by the location of the up to now out of sight, out of mind Queen and Coxwell area where the popular neighbourhoods of The Beaches and Leslieville meet, Shoihet saw potential in the notable condo and hospitality projects, including Drake's music venue, History, going up in the area.

For Sale: 14 Coxwell Avenue (Centre), Toronto, Ontario

Shoihet soon focussed on acquiring properties with a view to building boutique condo and townhouse projects in the area, including a future laneway townhouse project off of Rhodes Ave, he has dubbed OFFRHODES.

Coming Soon: 3 Rhodes Avenue (Existing Dwelling Plus Land), Toronto, Ontario

When an opportunity to sell his nearby property in the city-designated densification area of Kingston Rd arose, Shoihet found himself thinking about diversifying his investments, growing more curious about new digital opportunities in cryptocurrency and other areas.

Wary of trying to enter the digital space without proper guidance and mentorship, and encouraged by his brother, a fellow entrepreneur-investor, Shoihet applied to and was accepted into the Toronto-hub of the highly competitive incubator program Antler.

After some intensive research, he committed to transitioning from real estate development to digital real estate development: The Metaverse is a new buzzword but the future of gaming/entertainment/play, work/creativity, health/wellness and more will all be greatly affected by this space, he explains.

As his real estate company 'Nohwer' (a more dot.com amenable play on 'Nowhere') continues to evolve, he hopes that he may someday, among other projects, be able to bring to fruition his dream of opening a hotel/residence health club in the Metaverse, and establish a corresponding physical space to bring together fellow supporters.

Reflecting on his journey so far and to be, Shoihet recalls: I initially studied sociology at university because I was inspired by my amazing grandfather [Irving Zeitlin, Professor Emeritus of Sociology at the University of Toronto]. And he continues to inspire me on what I would like to build in the future. Hes the one that once pointed out to me that Utopia actually means 'no place' or no where!

Holding to the adage that we can only serve one master or one higher purpose or calling at a time, Shoihet is looking for the right buyer or buyers to take over his vision for Torontos east end, in which he continues to believe in strongly, so that he can focus on his next venture this time, in another world entirely.

Basic Rules for Roulette | The Venetian Las Vegas

Posted: at 2:18 am

Roulette is an intriguing game that is played throughout the world. The large payoffs that are possible for small wagers stimulate the interest of the expert as well as the novice player, playing Roulette in Vegas.

The rules of Roulette - different players use different colored chips so the bets are not confused. The value of your chips is determined by the price you pay for them. When youre done playing make certain to redeem your chips at the same table you were playing at. Once you leave that table no one will know the value of your chips.

Each spin of the wheel provides a multitude of options for the player. A player may bet on single numbers, rows of numbers, or on adjacent numbers. A player also may play colors, odd or even numbers, among others. A bet on a single number pays 35 to 1, including the 0 and 00. Bets on red or black, odd or even pay 1 for 1, or even money.

Were proud to offer Roulette in three variations. In addition to our popular American-style Roulette game with 36 numbered slots, a 0 and a 00, we also offer our European Roulette, which has a single 0 along with the standard 36 numbers, and is a favorite among our international customers. We also offer an exciting new version, where an additional betting option is added.

The diagram indicates the Roulette rules payout for single chip bets and the many combinations available to you. The dealer will be happy to explain any of them. The exact placement of the chips determine the bet being made. Each player is responsible for the correct positioning of their wager on the layout regardless of whether the bet is placed by the dealer.

Roulette numbers – Understanding the wheel and the table …

Posted: at 2:18 am

Gambling has long gone beyond land-based casinos. Every potential player has the opportunity to join the game at any time. From anywhere in the world and bet on his favourite roulette numbers or spin the slots reels. But the abundance of online casino games is so vast and diverse, how could one choose? Lets talk about one of the most popular online casino games Roulette.

To this day, roulette attracts many players with its simplicity and the opportunity to win an impressive sum of money. However, behind the seemingly simple game mechanics, there are many secrets that were going to have a look at. Roulette, like most gambling games, is based on numbers. Thus, players may come with a series of questions:

As everywhere else, everything comes with experience and roulette is no exception. But, there are some nuances when choosing the best roulette numbers, and we will consider them in this article.

The European roulette wheel has 37 compartments (pockets) featuring all numbers from 1 to 36 and one zero (0). The main difference with the American roulette is that the latter has 38 divisions, including a double zero (00) as well. Taking in mind that the payout for a winning bet is 35-1 for the correct number, it means that players betting in the European roulette have more winning chances! Now lets see the roulette numbers sequence in the different wheels.

In all roulette wheels (European, American and French) the numbers have the same color.

But why do roulette wheels have this odd number sequence? This is one of the best-hidden secrets and also the answer to why roulette is such an amazingly balanced game. Everything is well thought out in order to accomplish four different things:

But studying the wheel you will find some interesting facts. Fore example if you split the European roulette wheel in two halves from the zero, you will notice that on the left side are all the black low numbers and all the red high numbers. At the same time, on the right half are all the high black numbers with the low red numbers. Furthermore, in the 9-number sector 29-7-28-12-35-3-26-0-32 there is no number from the second dozen.

As simple as it may sound, the best roulette bets are the ones that most often help you win at the casino. There are many strategies to win, and we will discuss them in more detail later in this article. So what kind of bets should be placed to win and how to calculate roulette table odds?

There is such type of bets as straight-up bets these are the best numbers, betting on which can provide you with 35 to 1 odds for each swing. With this type of bets you dont win so often, but the payouts are very high. For example, if you place a straight-up bet of $1,000 on one of the best numbers to bet 7, this will help you win $ 35,000. You can leave the roulette table with an impressive win, or you can continue with the next direct bet of $35,000, again on one of the best numbers, which will bring you more than a million dollars win. Impressive, isnt it?

Straight-up bets are risky, but the winnings justify the cost. If you prefer more measured and longer roulette game, then the best option for you is to bet on different numbers. In this type of betting, the winnings are lower, but your chances to win increase, because now you have different combinations of black and red, even and odd winning numbers.

In all roulette versions there are two basic bet types. The inside bets and the outside bets, which are derived from the bet position on the layout table. Inside bets have bigger winning payouts, but less chances, while outside bets have bigger winning chances and less payouts. Here are the inside bets, their winning probabilities and the payouts:

The outside bets which have higher chances of winning and smaller payouts are the most popular among players. Here are the available options:

On the even outside bets (the ones paying 1-1 which are the Colour bet, Odd/even bet and low/high bet) lies the biggest advantage of the French roulette. In case players select one of those bets and the ball lands on the zero (0) they can take advantage of the en prison or the la partage rule.

This means that players will either receive on the spot 50% of their bet (le partage), or they can select to imprison the entire bet (en prison). If the imprisoned bet turns out to be a winner on the next wheel spin, it will be released and the player will recover it without any earnings. Note, that in case the ball lands on zero on the next wheel spin, the player will lose the entire bet. The rule actually lowers the house edge to just 1.35%, which is significantly lower than the 2.7% of the European roulette and 5.3% of the American roulette.

In casinos where the La Partage rule is in play by default the player can indicate that he wishes his original stake to be En Prison. Alternately, he can just accept half of his stake back under the La Partage rule and continue play from that point.

Whatever bet you think is the best or whatever number is the most popular, you should keep in mind that this information will only guide you to the right path, but does not guarantee victory the advantage always remains with the casino.

The house edge, in the European roulette, is 2.7%, while the American roulette which has one number more (the double zero 00) has a bigger casino edge 5.3%. So, it is more difficult for players to win. The winning odds will always vary depending on factors such as the bet you made, the edge of the casino in different variations of roulette, and, of course, luck.

There is of course the French Roulette as well, which has an even less house edge. Note that the word roulette is French and means little wheel. After all, the history of the game shows that it gained popularity right after the french revolution. The roulette cylinder was introduced in a primitive form, in the 17th century, by Blaise Pascal. He was a French physicist, philosopher and inventor. And he fused together popular English wheel games of the time in his quest to create for the perpetual motion machine.

The game of roulette as we know it today started being played a century later, around 1760, in France. And one interesting fact is that the first French roulette had two zeros! But this changed when casinos in Germany which wanted to compete introduced the single zero roulette to attract more clients.

Success in a gambling game like roulette is often associated with luck and chance. Many people, both average players and experts, tried to determine which are the best roulette wheel numbers. It seemed that it was impossible, considering how many numbers on a roulette wheel there are and completely random would always win, but we managed to identify what number hits the most in roulette. The most popular roulette numbers are 17, 23, 24 and 7.

Lets look at them in more detail. 17 is the most popular and best bet on roulette. This is often due to the fact that 17 is located in the center of the roulette wheel. So, 17 is the most frequent winning number on a roulette table layout and the best bet on the wheel. 23 and 24 experienced players also recommend this pair of numbers.

They are located next to each other and quite often turn out to be the best roulette numbers. 7 everything is simple here, players are very often attracted to this lucky number, the world symbol of gambling. These are some of the best and most popular ones, choosing which you may get lucky. All thats left is to try your luck.

Players also have a list of unlucky numbers that many try to avoid. These numbers are 13, 0, 6 and 34. Players dislike numbers 0 and 34 only because of their unfortunate location. Numbers 13 and 6 are considered extremely unlucky and experienced players often recommend to simply avoid them. But, one can only count on luck, and who knows, maybe these numbers will bring luck and become the best bets.

What is the best roulette strategy: Its finally time to talk about roulette strategies. Often, the roulette strategy in many gambling games is related to how the player plans to achieve victory. Some people prefer to bet on the best numbers or just on the numbers that mean something to them. In this case, the chance to win is slight and you will not stay at the table for long. But the win over the casino can be very large.

On the contrary, if someone wants to spend more time at the playing table, his choice is small bets, which, although small, allow you to win constantly. Some players prefer betting numbers that have the lowest winning chances. This way, they increase their chances of winning bigger sums, but this strategy is also quite risky.

Random Number Generators in roulette uses a complex set of technologies. So, each circle of the roulette wheel carries a huge diversity of outcome variations. We tried to inform you about the best numbers, the best strategies and the best bets in roulette. You just have to stick to a range of tips. Also, choose the right strategy for you and hope that your luck will not run out.

The most popular versions of roulette wheel are American and European. The sequence of American roulette wheel numbers is 0, 28, 9, 26, 30, 11, 7, 20, 32, 17, 5, 22, 34, 15, 3, 24, 36, 13, 1, 00, 27, 10, 25, 29, 12, 8, 19, 31, 18, 6, 21, 33, 16, 4, 23, 35, 14, 2 The sequence of European roulette wheel numbers is 0, 32, 15, 19, 4, 21, 2, 25, 17, 34, 6, 27, 13, 36, 11, 30, 8, 23, 10, 5, 24, 16, 33, 1, 20, 14, 31, 9, 22, 18, 29, 7, 28, 12, 35, 3, 26

Many have tried to determine which numbers are the best in roulette. It seemed that completely random numbers would win more often, but we managed to identify the most likely ones. The most popular numbers in roulette are 17, 23, 24 and 7.

Winning against the American roulette house edge of 5.26% is harder than winning against the European roulette edge which is 2.7 %. Thats why players prefer European roulette.

The strategy in roulette is related to how the player plans to achieve victory. With big straight-up bets, the chance is small, but the winnings will be large. With small bets on various combinations, the sums are not so big, but they allow you to win constantly. The numbers with the lowest odds of winning increase the winning amount, but the risk is high.

Start Playing With Just $1 At Las Atlantis Casino!

The $1 tables are the cheapest roulette tables in Vegas. But there are also different limits for the type of bets. Outside bets (the spots outside of the numbers area) sometimes have higher limits, while inside bets on a number have lower. Know these limits before you start betting in Las Vegas.

Minimum bets at roulette in Vegas begin at $1 per spin. That means you can put $1 or more at as many spots as you like, up to the table limit. Higher limit games may allow you to spread the minimum wager. For instance, a $5 minimum table might take $1 in five spots.

But $1 tables are hard to find, and most of the tables in Vegas allow minimums of $5 to $25. High rollers can find tables with minimums of up to $1,000. The casinos usually list the limits at the table, and good dealers are happy to explain how they work.

Tables with $5 minimums are the most common roulette tables in Vegas. They give players the most variety of bet options. You can find them offering maximum bets of anywhere from $100 to $1,000.

Below you can find a complete list of all the $5 roulette tables in Las Vegas.

There are also plenty of $10 roulette tables in every casino in town. With these, of course, the maximums are higher, and you can spread your bets even more. Look for maximum wagers of anything from $50 to $8,000.

Below we listed all the $10 roulette tables that you can find in Las Vegas.

There are dozens of ways to make bets, so many tactics and roulette betting strategies are available to players. Here are some tips you can follow to make the best out of your gameplay:

European Roulette (single zero) tables sometimes offer the following rule variations.

En Prison gives you a second chance to recover your highlow, evenodd, or red-black bets if the ball lands on zero.

La Partage gives you some of your even-money wagers back with zero. It increases your RTP to 98.65%.

Roulette betting systems fall into two categories: non-progressive and progressive strategies. With progressives, you use a sequence of increasing or decreasing bets.

Other types of wagers are known as non-progressive or flat bets. Stick with a method for at least one session and see how it works.

Sands roulette has triple zero or 0-00-000. Naturally, your odds are reduced (92.3% RTP) with the extra zeros.

If you are a beginner, we recommend you stay away from these tables, as your chances of winning are considerably reduced. Playing at a European Roulette table will always be the winning choice.

European Roulette and single zero appear to be the same, but there is one major difference. European Roulette has a rule known as la partage. This returns half of an even money bet if the ball lands on zero. It cuts the house edge on red/black, odd/even, and hi/lo to 1.35%. All other bets on both tables have a 2.7% house edge.

Encore, Wynn, and upscale MGM properties are the only ones that offer European Roulette in Las Vegas. The minimum bet at MGM Grand is either $10 or $25. The others all require at least $100 to play.

If you are not in Las Vegas but are interested in playing the game, no need to worry. Visit our live dealer roulette games page, where you can find the best online casinos to play with real dealers spinning the wheel.

Roulette Payouts – Roulette Payout Charts Explained

Posted: at 2:18 am

Payouts on the Outside Bets

On the edge of the table are a series of bets which are outside the 38 numbers on the table. Each of these bets refers to a specific set of numbers or colors. If the ball lands on 0 or 00, youll lose on any of the outside bets.

The outside bets include:

Red or Black This bet pays out even odds (1 to 1) if the ball lands on the color you chose.

Odd or Even This bet pays out even odds (1 to 1) if the ball lands on odd or even, depending on which you chose.

Low or High This bet pays out even money (1 to 1) if the ball lands on 1-18 if you bet low, or if the ball lands on 19-36 if you bet high.

Columns The numbers on the layout are organized into three columns of twelve numbers each. A columns bet wins if the ball lands on one of the numbers in the column you chose. This bet pays out 2 to 1 when you win.

Dozens There are 36 numbers on the table, so you can bet on the first dozen (1-12), the second dozen (13-24), or the third dozen (25-36). This bet also pays out 2 to 1.

You can also bet on specific numbers and sets of numbers on the inside of the layout. These bets win less often, but they pay out more when you do win. The house edge on the inside bets is the same as the house edge on the outside bets.

The inside bets for roulette include:

Straight-up This is a bet on a single number. It pays off at 35 to 1.

Split bet This is a bet on any two adjacent numbers. You place the chip on the line between the two numbers in order to make this wager. This bet pays out at 17 to 1.

Street bet This bet covers three numbers. You place your bet on the line outside of the three numbers in the row where you want to win. This bet pays out at 11 to 1.

Corner bet Some people call this a square bet or a quarter bet. Its a bet on a corner that makes a square, and its a bet on four numbers. A win on this type of bet pays out at 8 to 1.

Five-number bet You can only make one five-number bet, and its the only inside bet that offers different odds from all the others. The problem is that it has a higher house edge, making it the worst bet on the table. This bet is on the numbers 0, 00, 1, 2, and 3, and you place the chip on the outside corner line between the 1 and the 0. This bet pays out 6 to 1, but only masochists place this bet.

Six-number bet Some people call this a line bet. It covers two adjoining rows of numbers. It pays out at 5 to 1.

These payouts all have one thing in commonthey pay out less than the true odds of hitting a win. Thats why the casino enjoys a house edge of 5.26% on roulette. Your odds of winning are always less than the payout amounts.

For example, the odds of winning a straight-up bet are 37 to 1. There are 37 numbers on the wheel that lose, and 1 bet on the wheel that will win. But the bet only pays out 35 to 1, not 37 to 1, so the house wins more often than it loses.

A split bet offers you odds of winning of 18 to 1, but it pays off at 17 to 1.

I could list all of them, but you get the idea by now. The casino has an unassailable mathematical advantage on every bet. No betting system or strategy can overcome this advantage.

Of course, in the short run, anything can (and often will) happen. This is called standard deviation, and it explains why some people walk away from the roulette table as winners. The mathematically true results only come around the closer you get to an infinite number of spins.

So the best way to approach roulette is as a lark. Its a fun game. You can relax and socialize while you play. But dont expect to win, because the odds are against you. And if you do win, walk away and smile, because you beat the odds.

‘COVID parties’ spread the virus on purpose. That’s ‘Russian roulette,’ doctors warn – Union Democrat

Posted: at 2:18 am

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Thinking about intentionally exposing yourself to the coronavirus?

Thinking that you'll probably get away with a mild case and become immune to COVID-19?

You need to think again. Even if you're fully vaccinated.

If you get COVID on purpose, there's no guarantee you'll only get a little sick, though the contagious omicron variant surging now is less likely to put you in the hospital than the previous delta variant.

"The majority of people that get omicron that are vaccinated really do have minor symptoms," said Dr. Marc Larsen, an emergency physician at Saint Luke's Hospital of Kansas City. "It's still playing Russian roulette though. If you get a really severe case, you can't take it back."

And yet, the idea that omicron isn't as deadly as other variants, or doesn't cause severe illness in children, seems to be motivating recent social media chatter about so-called "COVID parties" across the country. They're like the "chickenpox parties" of old where parents exposed unvaccinated children to other sick children so they wouldn't get it as adults when consequences are more severe.

That's a no-no, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says.

A few days ago, doctors in Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley cautioned parents against COVID parties.

This month, Dr. Craig Bunnell, chief medical officer for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, appeared in a video on the hospital's YouTube channel offering similar advice.

"COVID is not a cold. It's a life-threatening disease and people are still dying from it," Bunnell said. "For those who don't actually die, many will be sick for a long time.

"Remember, getting infected with delta didn't have much preventive benefit from getting infected from omicron. So it doesn't mean you'll be protected from the next variant."

Last week, Hanka Hork, a popular Czech folk singer, died after she deliberately got infected with the coronavirus. In the Czech Republic, proof of vaccination or recovery from infection is needed to enter restaurants and entertainment venues.

"Her philosophy was that she was more OK with the idea of catching COVID than getting vaccinated," her son told the BBC.

If you need another deterrent, you might want to see what's happening in Larsen's ER at Saint Luke's, where he is a member of the COVID-19 Response Team.

Think about ERs you've seen on TV. Staff in scrubs hustling about, machines beeping, a couple of police officers there too, because they've brought in a patient in custody.

Now add in waves of people coming in sick with COVID-19.

And the staff taking care of them are gowned up and wearing face shields so they don't get infected. And managers are making sure there are enough people working each shift because so many employees are out sick with COVID.

And every emergency department in the city is on "high volume" status because of the coronavirus.

And the COVID cases keep coming.

That's real life now.

Saint Luke's allowed a reporter and photographer from The Star into the hospital off the Country Club Plaza one afternoon last week to see the fallout of the COVID surge.

"It seems like every day is the same as the previous day. It's Groundhog Day in the emergency department, and really health care," Larsen said. "We've been doing this really since March 2020 and it's been a long couple of years.

"And every time we come to work we think maybe we're going to be past it, maybe today will be a slower day. And every day seems to be kind of the same.

"It's so frustrating. We see the same thing over and over. And people are sick and sick and sick."

So the idea that people would intentionally expose themselves to COVID makes Larsen adamant.

"I still encourage everybody to avoid getting it and to do everything they can to avoid it right now."

Every emergency department in the Saint Luke's system there are 16 hospitals has been boarding patients for the last one to two weeks, Larsen said. That happens when there are no hospital beds upstairs for patients who need to be admitted from the ER.

Lately some patients have been waiting in beds in hallways or in chairs that convert to beds, whatever can be pressed into service, Larsen said. "But it's exhausting. And we just need everybody to understand where we are right now," he said.

Some of that backup is caused by COVID patients staying longer in intensive care. "They stay in that ICU for 27 days on average right now," Larsen said. "There's a lot of patients that are exceedingly sick by the time they show up."

Some patients, either out of denial that they have COVID or fear of being in the hospital, don't come in until they're in critical condition, further taxing the emergency department.

"That means we have to quickly assess them and resuscitate them, get them on the oxygen supplies and everything else we can do to help them with their breathing," he said.

Sometimes that means performing the delicate task of intubating someone pushing a breathing tube into their windpipe to help them breathe without knowing, for instance, if they have a stomach full of food, which puts them at risk of vomiting.

But if you're so sick you can't breathe, go to the emergency department, said Larsen, who does not want to leave the impression that emergency departments are so busy that they can't see anyone.

"If they're having shortness of breath, if they're having severe chest pains, if you're feeling like you're going to black out, if you have major trauma, broken bones, major lacerations, severe abdominal pain, those are all indications to come to the emergency department," he said.

He said the hospital is seeing a lot of patients who were able to avoid COVID but have now been infected by, presumably, the highly contagious omicron variant.

Larsen himself just recovered from what he called a mild case of COVID. Everyone in his family got it. His wife, who also works in health care. Their three children under the age of 9. All the kids are vaccinated and he and his wife are vaccinated and boosted.

He had a sore throat for one day.

"Those that are vaccinated or boosted are really having pretty minor symptoms. And my hope is ultimately, as we continue to get vaccinated and get exposed, that they develop that natural immunity to it as well and it becomes just a minor cold, just like we would with anything else," he said.

"The problem is that there's still a large percentage of the population that is not vaccinated. And until they get either COVID or get the vaccine, they're not going to have the immunity to have that happen."

'COVID parties' spread the virus on purpose. That's 'Russian roulette,' doctors warn - Union Democrat

Roulette The Past, The Present and The Future – Nerdcore Movement

Posted: at 2:18 am

Roulette is a direct translation of little wheel in French. Originating in 18th century France, many believe that the wheel itself was created by French mathematician and physicist Blaise Pascal in his failed attempt to defy physics and create a perpetual motion machine.

Forms of Roulette are woven throughout history, from the ancient Romans spinning shields for amusement, to France, the rest of Europe, and then the world landing firmly at the heart of many casinos.

Join us as we take a trip through time, witnessing the history of Roulette, seeing how the game is enjoyed in the modern day, and looking into the future to see just where the classic game could spin next.

The past

Games similar to Roulette have been around for centuries. Soldiers in ancient Rome would relax after battle by playing games that sometimes involved spinning a shield or chariot wheel. Its also said that ancient Greek soldiers would draw symbols on the inside of a shield, put it face-down on the ground and place an arrow next to it. They would then bet on which symbol would stop in front of the arrow.

Despite these games resembling Roulette, as previously mentioned, its France that can truly take the credit for creating the popular game. In 17th century Europe, games called Roly Poly and Even-Odd were extremely popular. Both of these games involved spinning a wheel and betting on the outcome. Blaise Pascal, on top of his many talents, was also known to gamble in his spare time, so its clear that he knew about these games whilst accidentally creating his version of the wheel.

At the time, gambling was illegal in many countries across Europe, but it was thanks to Prince Charles of Monaco that the first form of Roulette gained traction. He used the rising popularity of gaming in an attempt to solve his monetary issues. Due to this, Roulette became popular amongst aristocrats and royalty.

In 1842, two Frenchmen, Francois and Louis Blanc, reinvented Roulette, taking the game all around Europe. The brothers had lowered the house edge by taking away the double zero pocket and creating what would later be known as European Roulette. Helping Roulette to gain popularity, and eventually helping to build the iconic Monte Carlo Casino, where Roulette took centre stage.

The present

Roulette had taken the world by storm, and by the time casinos were on the scene, it was a staple game that many could expect to find in the establishment. In 1996, the first online casino to offer automated payouts was created, and Roulette was one of the very first games available to play. In the modern day, there are a variety of online Roulette games available to play, with a Random Number Generator (RNG) generating undecipherable patterns to keep the digital spins of the wheel safe, fair and as random as can be.

The future

The future of Roulette looks bright, as the game remains one of the most popular casino games of all time a popular stable within brick-and-mortar establishments. Online casinos have also embraced the ever-evolving technology, constantly reinventing the classic game. On top of this, theres the live casino. Live Roulette offers you the chance to play the classic game, as well as unique themed versions, with a real-life dealer being streamed from a specialist studio, straight to your device, in real time! This type of immersive gameplay paves the way for the future of what technology has the potential to offer us next, with virtual reality (VR) on the rise, before we know it, we could be standing round a Roulette table, in a casino, without even having to leave our house!
