How Do You Play the Ball Game Roulette?

Roulette is a casino game named after the French word meaning little wheel. In the game, players may choose to place bets on either a single number, various groupings of numbers, the colors red or black, whether the number is odd or even, or if the numbers are high (19–36) or low (1–18).

To determine the winning number and color, a croupier spins a wheel in one direction, then spins a ball in the opposite direction around a tilted track running around the outer edge of the wheel. The ball eventually loses momentum and falls onto the wheel and into one of 37 (in French/European roulette) or 38 (in American roulette) colored and numbered pockets on the wheel.

The first form of roulette was devised in 18th century France. A century earlier, Blaise Pascal introduced a primitive form of roulette in the 17th century in his search for a perpetual motion machine. The game has been played in its present form since as early as 1796 in Paris.

An early description of the roulette game in its current form is found in a French novel La Roulette, ou le Jour by Jaques Lablee, which describes a roulette wheel in the Palais Royal in Paris in 1796. As with all casino games, roulette has evolved over time with new variations being developed all the time.

The object of Roulette is to pick the winning number that will appear on the Roulette wheel. You can bet on individual numbers or groUPS of numbers by placing your chips on the Roulette table layout.

There are many different ways to bet in Roulette and the chances of winning and payouts vary depending on how you choose to bet.

The most common bet is a Straight Up bet where you simply pick one number and place your chips on that number. If that number comes up, you will be paid 35 to 1 odds. The next most common bet is Split betting where you place your chips on the line between two numbers giving you two chances to win if either number comes up.

Street betting gives you three consecutive numbers to bet on while Corner betting gives you four connected numbers to bet on. Line betting allows you to bet on two rows of three numbers each while Dozen bets give you twelve numbers to choose from (1-12, 13-24 or 25-36). There are also various Column bets and even/odd bets available as well as many others giving you plenty of ways to win at Roulette!.

To play Roulette, all you need is some chips and a Roulette wheel. Place your bets by putting your chips on the Roulette table layout where you think the ball will land after it has been spun around the Roulette wheel by the croupier. Once all bets have been placed, the croupier will spin the Roulette wheel and drop the ball into it causing it to bounce around until it eventually falls into one of 37 (French/European Roulette) or 38 (American Roulette) numbered slots which determine who wins and who loses their bets!

Roulette is a fun and easy game to play with plenty of ways to win! So head to your nearest casino and try your luck today!.
