Roulette

Roulette is a casino game which is based on luck or chance. This game has it origins in France and the first roulette wheel was made by a mathematician named Blaise Pascal. During the mid 1800s, the roulette wheel was updated as an extra number 0 was added to it by two Frenchmen.

How do you play roulette? It is a betting game where you place bets on either a single number or a combination of numbers. Once you place your bet, the roulette wheel is spun and a ball is spun in anti-clockwise direction. There is a difference of one number between the European roulette and the American roulette. European roulette has 37 colored and numbered spaces on the wheel, while American roulette has one more number and space and so there are 38 coloured pockets/spaces. When the wheel is spun, the ball lands into one of the pockets and if the ball lands on the number or combination chosen by you, you win the bet.

You can play roulette at land based casinos and also at online casinos. There are various kinds of bet which you can place in roulette but they can be broadly classified into inside bets and outside bets. Straight-up, split, street, corner and six line are some examples of inside bets. Red or black, even or odd, dozen bets etc are some examples of outside bets.

The aim of roulette is to win the bet and if you are new to this game, it would be prudent to try out some free games available at both land based and online casinos. You can get some idea about the game by trying these free games before you start betting serious money. Outside bets are a safe bet and it would be sensible to place a red/black, odd/even, low/high or dozens/columns bet as you are more likely to win on them. Before you start playing, spend some time at the table and make a note of numbers which have come up in spins and avoid placing bets on those numbers. There are lesser chances of the same number coming up on later bets, so avoid those numbers and increase your chance of winning.
