Roulette is a French Game<\/strong><\/h3>\n

While historians can\u2019t agree on the date when roulette was born, they all agree that it originated in France. It was actually discovered by accident in the XVII century by a mathematician named Blaise Pascal. He was attempting to create a perpetual wheel when he stumbled upon this one. At the time, the original game had 38 alternating numbers including a double zero pocket.<\/p>\n

There Are Three Main Roulette Variants<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Well, two if you don\u2019t count American roulette as a separate version. The original roulette with classic rules is European roulette and it has a single zero pocket. French roulette is basically the same save for two side bets that cut the house edge in half. American roulette is closest to the original roulette wheel, introducing a double-zero pocket that drastically raises the house edge.<\/p>\n

The Devil\u2019s Game \u2013 Numbers Add Up to 666<\/strong><\/h3>\n

No matter which wheel you\u2019re spinning, if you add all the numbers up, the result is always 666. That\u2019s why it\u2019s called the devil\u2019s game.<\/p>\n

17 Is the Number Players Wager on the Most<\/strong><\/h3>\n

There are 37 numbers on the wheel you can bet on, and 17 is the most frequented one. Most bettors and new players on the wheel tend to put their money on it. The odds of hitting this number are 1 in 36, but it\u2019s still the first number most notice and tend to bet on.<\/p>\n

Roulette Etiquette<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Compared to other games, the roulette etiquette\u2014or the rules to follow at the wheel\u2014are much stricter. For example, you can\u2019t put food and drinks on the roulette table like you can do in blackjack. You also can\u2019t throw your chips down or cash in your roulette chips. Handing money to the croupier is also a no-go, so you\u2019ll have to put your chips on the table.<\/p>\n

The Ball and Wheel Go In Opposite Direction<\/strong><\/h3>\n

When the croupier spins the wheel in one direction, he throws the ball in the opposite. For example, if he spins the wheel clockwise, the ball goes around counter-clockwise. Some casinos require their croupiers to alternate the direction of the wheel on each spin to keep things fair. No one\u2019s sure if there\u2019s an impact on the outcome, but just to be on the safe side, visit casinos that alternate the spin direction.<\/p>\n
