Roulette is said by some to have been started or invented way back in 1655 by the French scientist Blaise Pascal, during his monastic retreat, and first played in a makeshift casino in Paris. Other historians claim however that a French monk invented it in order to help break some of the monotony of daily monastery life. There are two standard styles of roulette tables found in American casinos. A double-end table with two layouts is operated by either three or four croupiers. The croupier who spins the wheel and deals the game is called the "wheel roller" by casino employees. The numbers on the American roulette wheel are 1 to 36, 0, and 00. Both the 0 and 00 slots are green in color. The numbers on the roulette wheel alternate pairs of odd numbers with pairs of even numbers. Roulette is the game where you guess where the little marble is going to dropon the spinning wheel. Here are thedifferent bets you can make. you will likely lose money faster the morebets you make, because you're betting more. In most games players can continuemaking bets even while the ball is still spinning. New players often have to betold this repeatedly the first time they play because they kept forgetting andbecause they're excited about collecting their winnings. Sometimes the dealerwill ask you "Inside or Outside? That's because if you're betting only inside and someone else isbetting only outside, he can give you both the same color chips and there won'tbe any confusion. That way, you're not locked inand you always have the ability to change your mind. In other games the color of the chipdenotes the denomination, but in Roulette the color denotes only which playerthe chip belongs to. Roulette games have minimum bets, which will be posted on aplacard at the table. It's important tounderstand that the outcome of the roulette wheel is truly random. There's an old saying,"The wheel has no memory. Here's another example: Since there are 38 slots on the wheel,we expect any given number to hit 1 out of 38 spins on average. It's more important to know what the house edge is, than how to calculateit, but here's a quick analysis in case you're interested. On even money bets when 0 comes up, instead of losing rightaway, your bet is "imprisoned" and rides again for the next spin. Ifyou win the second spin, your bet is "released from prison" and youget it back. In effect, this variation has the ability to turn a loss into a tie. One to six players are seated at the roulette table. Players purchase special roulette chips, each player with his own color, so that the dealer can tell who made a winning bet and pay off that player. A stack of twenty 25-cent chips is valued at $5.00, and a stack of twenty 50-cent chips is worth $10. They may not be removed from the table when the player leaves. It is up to you to pick up both your winnings and your original bet after the payoff. All inside bets are paid by the dealer, directly to you. In many instances, more than one coloured chip is on a winning number. In total, 38 numbers are represented on the betting layout. As the wheel turns, the ball loses momentum. It bounces among the slots and finally falls into one of the numbered slots. That number is the declared winner for that game. All red numbers are opposite the black numbers.
