Roulette table

Reaching 1500 needs a +500 net, which a modest straight-up hit (35:1) can deliver. I'm spreading small stakes on two numbers each spin to get many chances while keeping the bankroll alive for all 20 spins, and I'll adjust stakes as results come in.

Reaching 1500 from 960 needs about +540, which only a straight-up hit can deliver. Four straights at 17 each net +544 on a hit (35*17 minus the three other stakes) and cost only 68 per spin, so I can keep trying for many spins.

I need +608 in 18 spins, so a single straight-up hit is the only realistic route; two straights at 22 each win +748 net on a hit while keeping the bankroll alive for many more spins.

I need +652 over 17 spins, so I need a single big straight-up hit. Three straights at 20 each net +660 if one hits, reaching 1508, while keeping enough bankroll to retry for many spins.}
