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.
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 are either red or black. The 0 and 00 are considered green. Up to 8 people can play roulette at the same time. The rules suggest that 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. After the ball had fallen at one of the slots and stopped, the croupier announces the winners. You are to guess the number of the slot in which the ball will stop and to make the right bet. When you start the the game at the roulette table, you have to buy chips from the croupier which differ from all other chips in the casino. Each player is assigned his own color of chips so that the croupier knows who to pay off at the end of each spin. When the croupier announced "No more bets", hlayers cannot make bets. After the ball had stopped,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.
