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. He had saved up 0,000 and he wanted to risk and to put this sum on one spin. He searched around Las Vegas for a casino that would actually take his bet. Having got refusals in most of the casinos Chris went to Binion’s Horseshoe Club, which was the last casino he visited. 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 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.

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. Later the single zero Roulette appeared. It was introduced by Francois and Louis Blanc. The game wasn't then very popular in France as any form of gambling was considered illegal, but Roulette was well-known in Germany and Hamburg. Later Francois and his son Camille were responsible for bringing the game of Roulette back to southern France for the Prince of Monaco, Charles III. The game of Roulette was brought to the USA at the beginning of the 19th century. Some additional features were deleted and the game got a double zero back. 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 a number repeats often within 100 spins you may have found a biased wheel that can turn the house advantage around to your favor. A biased wheel is one of only two true opportunities to overcome the casino's advantage. There are special chips for playing the game of Roulette. The chips have to be bought before playing the game. Don’t forget to exchange you Roulette chips for regular casino chips before you leave the Roulette table. Try to avoid 5 number bets, as it has the least profitable payback of all the bets. The house advantage on a 5 number bet is a whopping 7. 89 percent. 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.
