A Short History of Roulette<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Variations of games very similar to Roulette have been around for hundreds of years. Therefore its exact origins are hard to trace. However, the version that we know and love today was devised by a French physicist, inventor and mathematician by the name of Blaise Pascal<\/a> back in 1655. Of course, a game as seemingly complex as Roulette could only have been invented by a mad scientist. Okay, he wasn\u2019t really mad but he was a scientist. Pascal was trying to invent a perpetual motion machine \u2013 an experiment that failed in its original endeavor. For the non-science minded, a perpetual motion machine is a device that continues to operate without drawing energy from an outside source. A popular notion in the realm of \u201cscience\u201d at the time. Though Pascal failed, he gave the world one of the most popular casino games in existence!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Essentially, Roulette is all about odds, simple physics, and statistics. The word roulette<\/em> means \u201clittle wheel\u201d. Therefore it shouldn\u2019t surprise you that the spinning roulette wheel was invented by a well-known gambler and math wizard. For the next hundred years or so, the early Roulette wheel remained untouched \u2013 until Francois and Louis Blanc came upon it. Thanks to their addition of the number zero space on the wheel, the house edge was immediately increased. This turned Roulette into a huge money winner for casinos from then on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Roulette gained notoriety amongst the elite gambling circles of Monaco following the addition of the zero. Eventually, roulette made its way across the ocean to U.S., where it would undergo yet another transformation. This came in the form of a double zero space added to the Roulette wheel, again creating a higher house edge. Today, Roulette remains one of the most popular games at casinos. It dominates online and brick and mortars throughout Europe and the United States. The hugely simple, yet entertaining format of Roulette as well as promises of massive payouts have continued the game\u2019s longevity. You can discover for yourself by playing European Roulette or American Roulette<\/a> at Planet 7 Online Casino today!<\/p>\n\n\n Despite appearances, the rules of Roulette are actually quite simple. Standard Roulette consists of a spinning wheel, a betting table, a ceramic ball spun by a croupier<\/em>, and a series of wager options available to each player. Before each round, simply place your wager in chips on the Roulette table. The croupier spins the wheel with the Roulette ball in motion in the opposite direction. Eventually, the ball will slow down and land in a numbered pocket. If the wager you made matches the ball\u2019s final destination, congratulations you are a winner! If not, spin again and see what the tides of fortune have in store for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Officially, there are three variations of Roulette that exist, American, European and French Roulette. Players may bet on a single or a range of numbers, colors red or black, odd or even, or high (19\u201336) or low (1\u201318) numbers. The winning number appears when the ball drops into one of 36 colored and numbered pockets on the wheel or a zero pocket (American roulette utilizes a double zero).<\/p>\n\n\n As you\u2019ve seen, the rules of Roulette are really quite simple. Now that you know with the history and basics of the game, let\u2019s go over betting! Real Money Roulette<\/a> tables have their own chips, and players are designated different colored chips so the croupier will know who to pay and who to take. Each table also will have a minimum bet posted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The two key areas for Roulette betting<\/a> is inside<\/em> and outside<\/em>. The minimum bet for the table is generally the same for both inside and outside of the table with one difference. Inside bets allow you to spread out the minimum bet over a range of numbers. Whereas outside betting requires you make a bet equal<\/em> to the minimum. So if the minimum bet is $5, an inside bet must be made that adds up to $5. Meaning multiple chips can placed on the table covering a set of numbers that add up to the minimum. Each outside bet must equal $5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are varieties of ways you can bet inside the Roulette table. Below are the types of inside bets:<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s worth noting that while inside bets have a higher house edge, the payouts are much greater. So it\u2019s up to you to weigh the risk to reward ratio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Outside bets are the most popular bets to make for Roulette due to the lower house edge. This makes them ideal for beginners, as they are less risky. Below is a list of the type of outside bets:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Outside bets come at a lower risk and are safer bets to make in the long term in terms of your investment, but payout lower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n French and some European Roulette tables also utilize what are known as French<\/em> or called bets<\/em>. These refer to certain sections of the Roulette table that represented by corresponding numbers and phrases on an ellipse. These are Voisin du zero<\/em>, Orphelins<\/em> and Tiers<\/em> du Cylindre<\/em>, and are based on a particular section’s proximity to zero. The numbers within the ellipse function in a similar manner.<\/p>\n\n\n Due to the addition of an extra zero in American Roulette, the house edge increases to an unfavorable 5.26% compared to its European counterpart. European Roulette has halved house edge due to its use of a single zero, making it 2.7%. If you\u2019re a fan of American Roulette, by all means take a spin. But it\u2019s good for a beginner to keep in mind that the house has a greater advantage of taking your money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Speaking of money, it\u2019s important to note that money management<\/a> in Roulette is crucial. Though the rewards of landing a 35:1 odd straight bet might seem enticing, the odds are heavily against you. Just keep in mind that before you wager, set yourself a loss limit. It\u2019s easy to get caught up in the thrill of gambling especially with a group of people cheering the ball on. But a loss is a loss, so manage money in moderation. Whichever way the wheels of fortune spin, it\u2019s great if you win big. But you\u2019ll also feel better about yourself if you come away from the table with your bankroll intact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The game of Roulette offer tons of excitement. Be sure not to get caught up in the moment and always keep your emotions in check. After all, the spin of the wheel will determine the outcome, and not perceived hot or cold streaks. Every time the ball lands is a singular event. Just because the outcome has been a red number three times in row, this does not mean that the ball will be more likely to land on a black number on the next spin. You can have a lot of fun playing Roulette. But the more you can keep a calm head on your shoulders, the more wisely you will bet and can end up winning big!<\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019ve got the basics down, the bets, and the odds. Now it\u2019s time to learn a few roulette betting strategies<\/a>. Though we cannot guarantee that any betting strategy is 100% successful, we can introduce you to a few that just might up your bankroll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Beginners should stick to betting outside the table. Though the profits may not be as large, they are statistically more consistent. Betting red or black, high or low, and odd or even ensures a lower probability of losing money, as all of these bets pay out even money. Straight bets are a long shot, and consistent outside betting yields more return in the long term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the most popular Roulette strategies, the Martingale system, is a fairly easy one to learn and replicate. The system itself is named after London casino owner John Henry Martindale, who encouraged players to double their bets after a loss. It works like this: simply place an even money bet, and if you lose, double your bet the next time round. If you win, place the exact same original bet on the next spin. Using this betting strategy will help you keep control of your bankroll. While you may not win millions, you’ll be able to walk away with a healthy account balance. Most players would call that a win in itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe Double Zero Appears on the Wheel<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
