About Roulette
The origins of roulette -- French for "small wheel" -- are lost to time, but some legends trace it back to Tibetan monks while others, to a famous French mathematician in search of perpetual motion. At the very least, the game you see today can be traced back to 18th-century France. Roulette is hugely popular among gamblers worldwide because it's both thrilling and easy. On the other hand, casinos love it because the odds heavily favour the house, and because it is void of any potential betting system to beat it.
Roulette Rules
Roulette is very easy to play, you have a table featuring 36 red and black numbers, two green boxes marked with 0 and 00 and 12 additional betting boxes. Next to it is a wheel, spinning constantly under the attendant's hand, featuring 38 slots numbered 0, 00 and 1 through 36. To play, you first place a bet on a desired number, an ivory ball is then spun around the outer rim of the roulette wheel. If the ivory ball lands in the slot corresponding to yours, you win.
