Roulette An Introduction
Roulette is certainly the oldest and possibly the most popular of all the casino games and it is its simplicity that has made it the number one choice for most gamers.The name roulette is of French origin and is translated as ‘small wheel’. The object is to predict where the ball will land once the wheel stops.There are three main versions of the game French Roulette, American Roulette, and British Roulette.

In the game, a casino employee, known as a croupier, spins a wheel in one direction, then releases a ball in the opposite direction around a tilted spherical surface running around the edge of the wheel. The ball eventually falls onto the wheel and into one of 37 (for European Roulette) or 38 (for American Roulette) black or red and numbered chambers on the wheel.The game is one of the most social and exciting to play and contrary to popular belief the rules are very simple.

The main pockets are numbered from 1 to 36 alternating between red and black, but the chambers are not in the proper numerical order around the wheel, and there are some instances of consecutive numbers being the same colour. There is a green chamber numbered 0, and in American Roulette there is also a second green pocket marked 00 or double zero.Players can place a variety of ‘outside’ bets and ‘inside’ bets. The payout odds for each type of bet is based on its probability. An outside bet includes guessing the colour of the chamber the ball will fall into, whether it will be odds or evens and on which particular cluster the ball will come to rest.

How to Play Roulette
Roulette is probably the simplest casino game next only to slot machines where the player has to put money and pull a lever or push a button. There is actually nothing to learn about the roulette game except how and where to place your bets. And that is exactly what you will find here.

First, you might need to check the minimum and and maximum bets you can place on a number or numbers. Next, select the color of your chips. Then, a round of game initiates when the croupier asks everybody to 'place your bets,you place yours. He then waits for a little while and spins the roulette wheel and a small ball. When the ball and the wheel are slowing down, the croupier declares 'no more bets'. After which the ball falls into into one of the numberd grooves of the wheel - the winning number for the round.

You may place your bets on one or more of the 37 (or 38) numbers, or on a group of numbers. There are two types of roulettes: European Roulette and American Roulette. In the European version there is only one '0'; in the American version there are two zeros denoted by '0' and '00'. In both types the rest of the numbers run from 1 to 36. So, the European version has 37 numbers to bet on while the American version has 38. Consequently, the chance of winning is better in the European version.
