During a roulette game, players place chips on a betting area until the croupier announces “no more bets”. Each table carries a placard that describes the minimum and maximum wagers. Choose a table that fits within your budget.
Many people have developed betting systems that purport to beat the odds of roulette. However, it is important to remember that roulette is a game of chance.
Origin
There are several theories on the origin of roulette. Some claim it was invented in the 17th century by a French mathematician and philosopher, Blaise Pascal. Others say it was derived from the older games hoca and portique. In any case, the game of roulette we know today was first introduced in France in the 18 th century and became very popular in gambling houses.
The modern version of roulette consists of a spinning wheel with numbered slots around it and a table where people place bets. Initially, the betting area had only two options, red and black, but later evolved into the European/Latin American style of 37 slots. The name roullete is thought to have come from the French word for “little wheel.” However, the game’s true origin is not known for sure.
