Roulette History
France in the seventeenth century was when the first Roulette game was played. Monte Carlo in Monaco is well known as the roulette playing center of Europe. This game of roulette is usually played by eight or fewer people and one dealer who is the one to spin the roulette wheel. He also does the payout and calculated the bets.
In the American version of roulette, there are thirty eight slots with two zeros where the French and European version has thirty seven slots that include thirty six numbers and one zero. Each player has a different color of chips to no one gets mixed up and when you are done playing, you exchange these chips for cash chips.
There is one rule not seen in all casinos but for even money bets only and it is called the En Prison rule. When zero in the outcome of the spin, some casinos will let the player chose between taking back his bet or leave it for another spin. If, on this second spin, a zero is the outcome again, the whole bet is lost. With the single zero wheel, the house has a 2.7% advantage and with the double zero roulette wheel, the house has a 5.26% advantage.
