Gambling comes in many forms as far as the types of games that are played. Poker, slot machines and sporting events are well known for their popularity. Roulette though is probably the most famous of all gambling games. This game was said to have started as a leisure activity among monks in China. But the game didn't really evolve into what it is today until France helped it along.
In the American casino, roulette is probably the most popular game and will receive the most attention besides the slot machines. The game is very dynamic and creates a great social atmosphere. Another plus is the fact that roulette is considered a table game, and casinos usually offer free drinks and such to the players at these games. You can also expect these offers at other table games like the poker room. The game itself is relatively easy to understand and even easier to play.
The hard part is figuring out where you want to place your bet, because nobody wants to end up with a bad bet. The wheel is usually numbered from 0 – 36(or 38), and if you are playing mini roulette the numbers range from 0-12. Most games feature a double zero pocket along with the zero pocket to increase house edge. Players may bet on either red or black (odd or even) or a specific number among other betting options. The outcome is up to probability and where the ball may end up after the wheel is spun.
