The most famous roulette story has to be that of Chris Boyd, a 40 year-old computer programmer from England. In 1994 he decided to fulfill his dream in the casino of Las Vegas on the Roulette wheel. Chris managed to save up 0,000 and he decided to put it on one spin of the wheel. It wasn’t very easy to find a casino that would let him make such a huge bet. Having got refusals in most of the casinos Chris went to Binion’s Horseshoe Club, which was the last casino he visited. The Horseshoe Club had a limit of 0,000 on a red/black bet, but they agreed to accept his wager. 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 placed all his money 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.

Roulette computers are electronic devices designed to predict the outcome of spins and win at roulette. They are far more effective than any roulette strategy. Using a range of methods, they measure the speed of the wheel and ball to cheat and predict where the ball is most likely to land. If the computer has been designed correctly, predictions are accurate enough to win at roulette. Roulette is a wheel game. The wheel of the roulette is spinned on an axis which is placed in a bowl. The wheel is divided into slots: American roulette wheel into 38, European - into 37. The numbers can be black or red. The 0 or 00 are green. 8 players can participate the game at the same time. Accordind to the rules the croupier spins the wheel of roulette in one direction and then rolls the ball around the edge of the wheel in the opposite direction. When the ball stops and falls at one of the slots the croupier announces the winners. The aim of roulette is to guess the number of the slot in which the ball will stop and to make the right bet. Before you start game, you buy chips from the croupier, and roulette chips are almost always different from all other chips in the casino. Each player has chips of his own color that's why the croupier knows who to pay off at the end of each spin. A player is allowed to bet until the croupier announces, "No more bets. "After the result of the spin is determined, the croupier puts a marker on top of the winning number on the table. If there are bets on that number,the marker is placed on top of the chips. Then all losing bets are swept off the table before the winning bets are paid off.
