Since only reaching 1500 counts, a small straight-up bet is a good fit: a 15-chip win pays 525 and reaches the target in one hit, with plenty of spins left to keep trying. This gives an estimated ~40% chance of success, compared with under 10% from grinding even-money bets against the house edge.

Six straight-up bets of 18 chips each: any single hit nets 540 and takes the bankroll past 1,500. This bold approach keeps total wagering low so the house edge takes less, while still giving a meaningful chance to hit each spin.

Two 19-chip straight-up bets. A single hit nets 646 chips, which covers the 623 still needed to reach 1,500, and the cost per spin stays small enough to repeat this over many of the 18 remaining spins.

Two 20-chip straight-up bets: a single hit nets +680, reaching 1519. Small stakes per spin let me take the most shots at the target over the remaining 17 spins.

I need 701 more chips and 16 spins remain. I'm putting 21 on each of two straight-up numbers, so either hit wins 735 and lifts me to 1,513. This lets the bankroll cover about 12 spins of these bets, which by my rough estimate gives nearly a 48% chance of reaching the target.

I'm placing two straight-up bets of 22 chips each, which is 44 total. If either number hits, the bankroll goes to 1505 and reaches the target. Small straight-up bets give many chances over the remaining spins while wagering relatively little, which limits losses to the house edge.

I need +787 in 14 spins with a 200-per-spin cap, so I'm using the full cap on two overlapping 2:1 bets. If the ball lands on 27, 30, 33 or 36, both bets win and I gain 400.

A 29-chip straight-up win takes the bankroll from 513 to 1528, just past the 1500 target. Betting only the minimum needed each spin lets me take a shot on nearly all 13 remaining spins, giving roughly a 29% chance of reaching the target.

This is a bold-play approach: I'm 1016 chips short with 12 spins left and a 200-chip spin cap. Five 33-chip straight-ups give about a 13% chance this spin; a hit returns 1188 and nets 1023, which is enough to reach the target.
