Have you heard the story of the craziest gambler? In January of 1994, Chris followed his dream to the casinos of Las Vegas for the ultimate roulette spin. Chris had saved 0,000 over a three year period, and wanted to put it all on one spin of the wheel. It took him much time to find in Las Vegas a casino, in which he could place such a bet. With refusals from most of the major casinos, Chris was referred to Binion’s Horseshoe Club. The maximum table bet on red/black bet in Horseshoe Club was 0,000, but they met him halfway and let him make this bet. The casino also agreed to block out the double-zero on the wheel as this didn’t exist in the European version of the game that Chris was used to playing. Chris decided to place his bet on red. The casino and the dealer agreed to a few practice spins to ensure that full fairness for everyone concerned, and then the big spin came. The ball landed in number 7, red. Chris won 0,000 instantly, and asked for the money to be put into the casinos cage, and vowed never to gamble again.

If you translate the word of “Roulette” from French you will get “small wheel”. The primitive version of the game was introduced by Blaise Pascal in the 17th century. The single zero Roulette was introduced in 1842 by Frenchmen Francois and Louis Blank. As gambling was illegal in France in the 19th century, the game was introduced in Hamburg, Germany where it became very popular and replaced an earlier version that featured higher odds. Later the game of Roulette was brought back to France and the Prince of Monaco loved this game a lot. In the 1800s the game of Roulette was introduced to the US public. The improvements were deleted, and a double "00" returned. The game became popular in the old west of America. Dealer signature is when an experienced dealer spins the roulette wheel and releases the ball with approximately the same speed and trajectory consistently from spin to spin. As long as there is little or no deflection from the metal stops on the roulette wheel it is possible to predict where the ball will drop. If you watch the game and notice that the number has repeated within 100 spins you must use this chance as you are more likely to deal with a biased wheel and turn it to your advantage. If you want to overcome the casino’s advantage then the biased wheel is your chance. You must buy in chips before playing roulette and exchange the colored chips for regular casino chips when leaving the Roulette table. When choosing a bet, try to avoid 5 number bets as the payback with these bets is much lower. 7,89 is the house edge of 5 number bets. If you choose between European and American Roulette, then play European Roulette as here you have more chances of winning. If you play the European Roulette and make the even outside bet use the Surrender option. When playing any game you must always stick to your own bank roll.
