Roulette in French means a "small wheel". Blaise Pascal, a French mathematician invented it in 17th century but some sources say that the game was developed in China. Price Charles, king of Monaco started gambling in Monaco using Roulette in 18th century. This game started in America in 18th century but the modern Roulette was started in 1842 using single 0 in the game. The game popularized in America after using 00's in the game. The Rouolette wheel is a combination of the English games "Roly-Poly","E & O", "Ace of hearts", "Hoca", and "Biribi". The latest form of Roulette was started in Paris in 1796.
In roulette, a casino employee called Coupier spins the Roulette wheel in one direction and after that he spins the ball in another direction, over a circular surface near the circumference of the roulette wheel. When the wheel slows down the ball falls on the roulette wheel from its surface and at last drops in one of the slots of the roulette wheel. The slots of the wheel are numbered from 0 to 36, but not in sequence and may contain 00. The slots or pockets for numbers 0 and 00 are of green color. The numbers from 1 to 36 are of colors either red or black. Two successive numbers can have same color.
Basically, there are two types of Roulette wheels:
American Roulette wheel
European Roulette wheel
American Roulette wheel contains 38 digits including 1-36 and 0, 00. By using double zeroes profit increases by 5.26%. While European Roulette wheel contains 37 digits containing 1 to 36 and one 0. Using single zero gives a profit of 2.7% in the game. American Roulette wheel has different color chips while the European Roulette wheel has same color chips. American Roulette wheel players use their hands to sweep the chips while the European Roulette wheel players use a long stick to sweep the chips.
The person who operates the Roulette wheel is called "Croupier". A wager on either an even or an odd number is called an "even-odd" bet. The payout for this type of bet is 1:1. A bet covering 0, 00,1,2,3 is called "five-number" bet. A bet covering numbers either 1 to 18 or 19 to 36 is called "high-low" bet. The payout is 1:1 for this type of bet. When the wager is on red or black color then this type of bet is called "red-black" bet. When a person bets on six numbers at a time then it is called "six-number" bet. The payout for this type of bet is 5:1.
In this game, a player purchases chips from the dealer and places them to a particular position on the table and tries to guess the position where the ball will stop on the Roulette wheel. The dealer places a mark on the number which is the winner of the game. The player who bet on that number becomes the winner and gets reward while all other lose their chips.
