Roulette was developed around the turn of the century and is one of the most popular gambling games in the world. It is played in virtually every gambling house in North and South America and in Europe, where it is even more popular. The American version of roulette has a single zero and a double zero versus the French version with just a single zero. Roulette players can bet on one, two, three, four or six numbers; or they can choose to bet red or black; high or low; odd or even. Every roulette player has different colored chips for easier identifying. When all bets are placed, the croupier spins the wheel and a ball bounces from slot to slot until finally coming to rest in one of them. In American roulette the addition of the 00 section greatly increases the odds in favor of the house. If the dreaded 00 is spun, the House keeps all the bets. Numbers 1-18 are considered the lows numbers, 19-36 are the highs. Unlike other casino games, roulette rounds go by quickly - just a spin of the wheel and the game is over. If you’re feeling lucky, you can pack in plenty of casino play at a roulette wheel in a short time. When you finish beating the house at roulette, you will have to ask the dealer to "color out" for you, the dealer will then take your chips and give you casino checks which you may then use on other games or cash out at the cashier.
