ROULETTE

The most popular casino game in Europe is the roulette game, because of the environment surrounding the game in the casino, the odds of the game, the simplicity of the rules and the many myths of fortunes lost and won on a single spin. There are two different kinds of roulette wheels. A European wheel with 36 numbers and a single zero and an American wheel with 36 numbers and a zero and a double zero. The numbers on the European wheel are not placed in any order - while the numbers on the American wheel are placed in groups of numbers opposite each other - 1 opposite to 2, number 3 is opposite number 4 and so on. The word 'roulette' is French for 'a little wheel'. The popularity of the roulette game originates from the casinos in Monte Carlo - where it has spread throughout the rest of the world since the beginning of the last century. Today you will have a hard time finding a casino without a roulette table.
