Players can continue to place bets as the ball spins around the wheel until the dealer announces no more bets. When the wheel slows the ball will land in one of the numbered slots.
As the wheel spins the croupier starts a small ball spinning in the opposite direction. The wheel also has a zero and most American casinos have a wheel with two zeros (0 and 00). On the table is a wheel with the numbers 1 to 36. The game is played with players standing or sitting around the roulette table. The name itself is French for “little wheel.” It has been played in one form or another since the 17th century. Some have said winning the game requires a pact with the devil because the numbers on the wheel add up to 666 (we actually added them up and verified it).
Often featured in James Bond movies, there is an aura of glamour, mystery and romance surrounding roulette. For the most part, the rules for playing are pretty much the same all over, but there are minor variations. You will find the game of roulette in casinos all over the world, from Monte Carlo to Las Vegas, as well as in online casinos. Roulette, or Rulet as it is sometimes called, is one of the most popular games of chance.
