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. 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 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. Roulette is a wheel game. The wheel placed in a bowl spins on an axis. The wheel consists of 37 or 38 slots depending on the type of roulette:American roulette wheel contains 38 slots,European - 37. There are black and red numbers. The 0 and 00 are considered 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. You are to guess the number of the slot in which the ball will stop and to make the right bet. When you first sit down at a roulette table, you'll need to 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. The marker is placed on top of the chips, if there are bets on that number. The croupier sweeps off the table all losing bets and pays off the winning bets.
