Around the world, roulette is a classic game of chance. From French, its name translates as “wheel”. In front of the player there is a drum, which is divided into zones. In each sector there are numbers from 0 to 36. The player bets on any number, and the ball determines which number wins. The game is complicated in that it is impossible to predict what will happen at the end. It all depends on Mrs. Fortune, who can be benevolent or malevolent.
Origins: historians believe that a similar roulette existed in the days of the Roman legionaries. They used an ordinary wagon wheel as a drum. It was mounted horizontally and set in motion.
During the capitalist era in the 16th century, special roulette wheels with a spinning ivory ball appeared. They could be found in gambling establishments, where the owners often set the rules of the game themselves.
Rules of Roulette: The main purpose of roulette is to guess which number the ball will fall on, and then bet on that number. You can choose more than one number. Even all the roulette numbers can be bet. In addition, you can bet on additional fields.
Each sector has its own coefficient that is used to calculate the bets. As a rule of thumb, the numbers are divided 35 to 1. While betting on red or black is 1 to 1.
Roulette is a game with cycles. The ball starts over when it falls on a certain number and all payouts are made on it.
Game Strategies: players around the world have been trying to come up with strategies for predicting outcomes since roulette was introduced. They all focus on finding out whether the ball that falls out depends on the number that fell out earlier. However, their effectiveness has not been demonstrated in the real world.
Experts advise against taking such systems seriously. They insist that the drop of the next number on the reel does not depend on the previous one. Therefore, you can only rely on luck.
For this reason, professional gamblers do not play roulette. For them, the main source of income is gambling. In addition, using mathematical formulas and strategies, there is no way they can change the roulette result. There are only bonuses.
Roulette is European, French and American. Each type has its own unique features. However, the basic idea of the game remains the same.
European roulette consists of 37 areas. Of the 36 black and red, there is one green. This is the “zero” area. Bets are never placed on it.
