“Roulette” is a French word meaning “little wheel” and it was invented in 1655 by Blaise Pascal, known for his work in the field of probability.
The first Roulette using numbers and colors was introduced in a French casino, in Paris.
The modern Roulette spread all over Europe and US in the early 1800's and it soon become one of the most famous and popular casino games.
The Roulette is a very easy game and simple to master, but if you are a new Roulette player, first search for the free Roulette games available at most online casinos.
You will have the opportunity to wager on a number or color and hope that the spinning ball will finally end up exactly where you made your bet.
The Roulette is a game played with 37 (European) or 38 (American) numbers.
There are two main Roulette versions: American and European Roulette. The American version has two zero spots, while the European Roulette has only one.
Start by learning the European Roulette first, because you will increase your chances of winning.
The Roulette game is fun, exciting just like slot games and do not get emotional while playing, because this is a game of chance.
The “Surrender” rule is the first you should learn. This rule applies to outside bets and includes red/black, odd/even and high/low bet.
Use the “Surrender” rule, which allows you to take back half of your bet, in case that the ball lands on 0 or 00. The European Roulette rarely offer the “surrender” option. Search for the casinos that offer the “surrender” possibility.
The “En Prison” rule allows you to save the bet in case the ball stops on 0 for one more spin. If you placed a bet and the ball landed on 0, the bet is kept for one more spin. In case you win on the second try, you will get your money back, otherwise you lose. If you win on the next spin, the money is returned to you, but you will not receive the extra winnings.
The “En Prison” rule reduces the house edge by 50% on even-money bets.
Start playing with even money bets such as red/black or low/high bets.
Start with a simple technique, when the wheel may engage in more complex methods.
Don't play by instinct!
Remember not to use maths while playing at Roulette, because I really don't thing that maths and gambling mix. Gambling is about taking-chances, fortune, hazard, luck.
