What is Roullete?
Roullete, pronounced rou-lat-ee, is a casino game that relies entirely on luck. Players place bets on a number or grouping of numbers, red or black, odd or even, and high or low. A croupier (that’s what you call the dealer in roulette) then spins a ball around and around until it comes to rest in one of the numbers on the wheel. If you made a bet on that number, you’ve won!
The game originated in the 17th Century and was first formally designed by French mathematician Blaise Pascal. It eventually found its way to the United States and was played in gambling dens throughout America until it was banned due to rampant cheating. However, despite its ban, the game still remained popular in Europe where it continues to be a staple in many casinos and gambling establishments today.
Roulette consists of a table with sections marked off for various bets. A revolving dishlike device called a roulette wheel contains 37 or 38 compartments numbered from 1 to 36 in alternating red and black, plus a single green division numbered 0. In American-style roulette, there is an extra green compartment labelled 00, making the house edge much higher in this version of the game than the European one.
Players place their chips on the section of the table they want to bet on. If the croupier says, “No more bets,” then players must leave their chips where they are and watch as the ball bounces around until it settles into one of the pockets on the roulette wheel.
Inside bets are placed on individual numbers or small groups of numbers and have a higher payout if won. Outside bets, on the other hand, are larger groupings of numbers and have a lower payout if won. If you’re new to the game, it’s a good idea to start with an outside bet and work your way up to the inside.
