Whether you’re playing in an authentic casino or playing online, there are a few key rules that you need to know. Roulette is a very popular casino game that originated in France. The name comes from the French word for little wheel.

Origins

Until the time of the French revolution, Parisian aristocrats would gather in the gilded gaming parlors of the Faubourg Saint-Honore. In these parlors, they played roulette, an early form of the game. The origins of the game are still unknown, but the wheel is thought to have been created by Blaise Pascal, a mathematician. As a keen gambler, Pascal adapted aspects of other games to make roulette.

The wheel that spins in roulette is the main decision-making force in the game. Roulette as we know it was introduced in Paris in 1796. The game originated from another form of chance, in which shields and swords were spun. Ancients also used chariots that were turned upside down to spin the wheel. There are many different variants of the game, but the wheel is still the most important element.

European vs American roulette

Almost all experienced roulette players have heard of the two main types of roulette. These are the European and American types. They differ in both the rules and the way the game is played.

Both types of roulette use a board that has pockets of various sizes. The player places a chip in the appropriate square. Then, they wait for the ball to fall. If the ball lands in the appropriate pocket, the player wins. If it doesn’t, the player loses the bet.

In European roulette, players have better odds of winning. The house edge is 2.7%, compared to 5.26% in American roulette. This is a significant advantage for European roulette players. However, it’s important to remember that the house edge is not the same as the probability of winning a bet.
