Roullete (or Roulette), as a casino game is best known, involves placing bets on the outcome of a spin of a small ball. Bets are placed on a table marked to correspond with compartments on a spinning wheel; players attempt to correctly predict which red or black-numbered compartment it will come to rest in as it spins around; betting against the house offers various bet options with some offering greater returns than others.

History of Poker | Blaise Pascal was the inventor, dating it back over 300 years to late-17th-century France. Within just 50 years it had become a staple game throughout European casinos by late 1800s.

Modern roulette wheels consist of a solid wooden disc slightly convex in shape with metal separators or frets around its rim, featuring thirty-six compartments painted red and black alternately and numbered consecutively from 1 to 36; one compartment on European-style wheels holds the number 0, while American wheels feature two green compartments bearing both numbers 0 and 00 on opposite sides of the wheel.

Every time a player places a bet at the table, they must first inform the dealer what amount their chips will be worth and indicate it on the wheel of chips. Once that is settled, a small symbolled object – called a “buck” or similar – will appear on the table, signalling to everyone that it is time for further decisions to be made.

As with most gambling games, roulette offers numerous strategies designed to play (and hopefully win) it. Some can be easy to understand while others more complex; there is even an abundance of cheating strategies; their reach being limited only by creativity and legal regulations in gaming industries.
