Roullete is a popular dice game that originated in France, likely from the Italian Biribi. In Roullete, players place chips on numbered spots and try to guess which number will come up next on a spinning wheel. There are many different variations, including single player games, team games, and even one-player games. Players may bet on one number, a pair of numbers, or a combination of numbers.
Odds of winning
If you have ever played roulette, you are probably wondering what the odds of winning are. While there are no fixed odds for winning roulette games, you can always improve your chances of winning by making outside bets and playing combination bets. Laying outside bets increases your odds of winning and decreases your financial expectation. The best bets to make are red and black or Low/High. However, European roulette offers the best odds, while American roulette offers smaller payouts.
Betting options
Regardless of whether you play online or in a real casino, there are several ways to wager on the outcome of the game. You can place chips on your favorite number, from zero to 36, and choose to bet on one single number or a combination of numbers. As you play roulette, the payouts for each bet are determined by its probability of coming up. For example, betting on one single number pays 35 to 1 with a 2.7% chance of coming up.
Origin
The origin of Roullete is unclear, but the word itself means ‘little wheel’ in French. In fact, the game dates back to the 17th century, when the game was originally played in France. Many websites summing up the history of this game point to its English or Italian origins, although some sites have even copied Wikipedia’s version. Here is a brief history of the origin of the game:
Payouts
In roulette, the payouts are based on the number of squares you cover on the table. In French roulette, the first five numbers are not bet. The best payout for the single number bet is 17:1. The payout for a bet on two numbers is 7:1. The red or black bet covers half of the layout, but it still pays 1:1. The payout for other types of bets are more complex.
