Roulette
Early records indicate that the first form of the roulette wheel originated in the seventeenth century out of a mathematician’s fascination with perpetual motion devices. By the late eighteen hundreds with the addition of the “0” and the “00” roulette was one of the most popular casino games in both Europe and the United States. Today roulette is still a very popular casino game all over the world. There are two types of roulette that gamblers can play in casinos and they are American Roulette and European Roulette. The largest difference between the two kinds of casino roulette is the number of zeros on the roulette wheel. On the European Roulette wheel there is only one “0” while there is an additional “00” (double zero) on the American Roulette wheel. The first zero was added by a man from France named Louis Blanc in order to increse the house odds. Later in the U.S. the “00” was added to further increase the house odds. The house advantage in European Roulette is at a modest 2.7 percent while the American Roulette house advantage is at 5.3 percent.
The roulette wheel is a round wheel that spins and has thirty-seven slots (American Roulette wheel has thirty-eight slots). There are thirty-six numbers and one zero and in American Roulette there is an extra double zero. A ball is dropped onto the spinning wheel and the objective is to predict which number or slot on the roulette wheel the ball will land. Depending on how you place your bet, the payout ratio will vary.
