Roulette Gambling Play

The world 'roulette' means 'a small wheel' in French. 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. In the 19th century casino gambling was forbidden in France, that's why the game wasn't so well-known in France, but it was very popular in Hamburg and Germany. 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.

You don't compete with other players. You play against the dealer. 8 players can take part in the game. Players buy in and receive colored chips. All players have chips of different color. If you win a spin, you cash your color chip in for a cash chip of a certain value. The "En Prison" rule can be applied when you make an even money bet and the spinning ball stops on the zero. In this case you can either use your bet for another spin or you can take it. You put your bet "in prison" if you decide to leave it for the next spin. The 'La Partage' rule. When you place an outside even money bet and the ball lands on zero, you lose half your bet and you are not able to leave the remainder in prison, or out for another spin.
