Roulette is one of the most popular casino games in all parts of the world. It is also one of the easiest games to play and understand in the casino. The word 'roulette' is French for 'a little wheel'. The popularity of the roulette game origins from the casino in Monte Carlo - where it has spread throughout the rest of the world since the beginning of the last century.

Players play against the house represented by the croupier also called the dealer, who spins the roulette wheel and handles the wagers and payouts.
To play roulette, you place your bet or bets on numbers (any number including the zero) in the table layout or on the outside. After the bets have been placed, the croupier starts the spin and launches the ball. Just a few moments before the ball is about to drop over the slots, the croupier says 'no more bets'. From that moment no one is allowed to place - or change - their bets until the ball drops on a slot. Only after the croupier places the dolly on the winning number on the roulette table and clears all the losing bets you can then start placing your new bets while the croupier pays the winners. The winners are those bets that are on or around the number that comes up. Also the bets on the outside of the layout win if the winning number is represented.

There are two types of roulette games, American roulette and European roulette. The difference between the two types is the number of 0's on the wheel. A European wheel shows 36 numbers and a single zero and an American wheel shows 36 numbers and a zero and a double zero. The numbers on the European wheel are not placed in any order - while the numbers on the American wheel are placed in groups of numbers opposite each other - 1 opposite to 2, number 3 is opposite number 4 and so on.
The two versions also use chips differently. American roulette uses so-called "non-value" chips, meaning that all chips belonging to the same player are of the same value determined at the time of the purchase, and the player cashes in the chips at the roulette table. European roulette uses standard casino chips of differing values as bets.

The House Edge:

The house edge of casinos with double zero tables is 5.26%
The house edge of casinos with singel zero tables is 2.70%
So you should always look for the single zero European roulette.

Important Info:

  • The casino always has the edge in the long run
  • You can win in the short run if you are lucky.
  • The Roulette game is a game of chance - not a skill game.
  • No betting system can make you beat the roulette table in the long run.
