Roulette is most popular
games played in modern Casinos. It’s a unique
table game as it has a mechanical device as the main
element of the game. This is the Roulette wheel that
is mounted horizontally on the end of the table. The
wheel has numbered pockets ranging from 0 to 36 - and
00 in American Style Roulette.
In Roulette the bets
are placed on an area of the table marked with separate
boxes containing individual numbers. This marked area
is called the game layout, and you may place bets on
any particular number, any 4 adjacent numbers, a column
or a dozen bet. The wheel determines the outcome of
a game of Roulette. Once the bets have been placed on
the table, the wheel starts spinning and a small ball
is released on to the wheel in the opposite direction
of the spinning wheel. The ball slows and eventually
stops in one of the numbered pockets in the Roulette
wheel.
Two basic steps are
following to play a game of Roulette:-
First, you must decide
on the numbers, or groups of numbers, that you want
to bet on. To place your bets on these numbers, left-click
on the table felt. You can place chips on individual
numbers or on the borders shared by two or more numbers.
Once you have placed
your bet, click the Spin button to start the game. The
Roulette wheel will start spinning and a small ball
will be released on to the wheel in the opposite direction
of the spinning wheel. The ball will lose speed and
eventually stop in one of the numbered pockets in the
wheel.
The term "Roulette"
is derived from a French word meaning small wheel. The
origin of Roulette is not very clear. While some sources
state that Blasé Pascal, a 17th Century French
mathematician invented the roulette wheel, other sources
state that the game originated in China and was brought
to Europe by Dominican monks who were trading with the
Chinese.
