Roulette is a classic in the world of casino games. Roulette is an obligatory element, along with blackjack and craps,in any full service casino in the United States, but in France it's much more popular as roulette is a cultural and historical part of the gambling scene. In Europe people have been playing roulette since the 18th century and nowadays online roulette games are popular all over the world.Modern roulette has been around since at least 1796, when the game was played in Paris in almost exactly the same form it's played today. Roulette had its origins in multiple other games. In the early 18th century in France was popular "biribi" - an italian ball game which was combined with another wheel game where colors, not numbers were used. The English game "Roly-poly" which consisted of black and white slots was launched in 1720. Thus, roulette is a hybrid of both birib and Roly-poly.Understanding a game is the first step down the road of enjoying a game. And although knowledge of the game won't change your strategy or your chances of winning, it will increase the amount of pleasure you take away from the tables.

The first and the most common mistake is not setting a bank roll limit.Before going to any casino you have to decide to yourself how much you can afford to spend in the casino. Take this sum you can afford and leave all your credit cards and the rest of your money at home. If you have spent all the money you had you’d better leave the casino and occupy yourself with something different. When you choose a certain game to play at the casino, you should know well in advance exactly how the game works and how to play it scientifically so you win more money. Sometimes players choose games they don’t know well enough and as a result they lose instead of winning. The casino loves to fill their guests and customers with free booze of all types and kinds. Drinking impairs your judgement and gets you emotionally involved within the game thus losing feels worse, and most importantly you won't be able to play using scientifically proven strategies that shrink the odds of the casino winning. The third mistake is drinking while playing casino games. The only advice here is to avoid drinking in casinos. You can always find a better casino with better odds, bonuses, promotions and conditions for players. The last mistake is spread among new players. They don’t know well how to play and they believe that they can win if they stick to the strategy of other players. This is the most stupid mistake. Play your own way and never stick to strategies of other gamblers.

There is also the European wheel or the Single Zero roulette or sometimes French Rouletteis similar to the American wheel.
The fact that European wheel only has a single zero - whereas American wheel has a single zero and a double zero, makes the biggest difference between these two.
The European table is more beautiful in symmetry while the American table is more practical during play because the red/black and odd/even are placed right next to each other, and the first18/last18 betting spots are placed right next to the single numbers.
Thanks to the single zero the European roulette players have better odds than the American roulette players.
There 38 numbered slots on American roulette wheel: numbers from 0 to 36 and 00. The betting layout consists of every individual number as well as a host of "outside" or combinations of numbers. After the players make their bets the dealer spins the wheel and a ball and after several seconds the ball will land in one of the numbered slots.

Roulette is a wheel game. The wheel of the roulette is spinned on an axis which is placed in a bowl. The wheel consists of 37 or 38 slots depending on the type of roulette:American roulette wheel contains 38 slots,European - 37.There are black and red numbers. The 0 and 00 are considered green.Up to 8 people can play roulette at the same time.The rules suggest that the croupier spins the wheel of roulette in one direction and then rolls the ball around the edge of the wheel in the opposite direction.After the ball had fallen at one of the slots and stopped, the croupier announces the winners.You are to guess the number of the slot in which the ball will stop and to make the right bet. When you first sit down at a roulette table, you'll need to buy chips from the croupier, and roulette chips are almost always different from all other chips in the casino. Each player has chips of his own color that's why the croupier knows who to pay off at the end of each spin. Players can make their bets until the croupier announces, "No more bets."After the ball had stopped,the croupier puts a marker on top of the winning number on the table.The marker is placed on top of the chips, if there are bets on that number. The croupier sweeps off the table all losing bets and pays off the winning bets.
We can find special rules for some casinos.

In Prison/En prison
When the ball falls on zero, red/black, odd/even and first half/last half bets will not be collected by the croupier - instead they will have to stay on the table - in other words they are in prison. The players can win their original bet back during the next spin;if their bet wins they get their original bets back without additional gain. If the ball should land on zero once again the bets will remain in prison one more spin and so on. As this special rule reduced the casinos edge, it's greatly to the advantage for the players.

La Partage
When the ball falls on zero, red/black, odd/even and first half/last half bets will not be fully collected by the croupier. The croupier will collect only a half of player's bets and will return the rest to the players. As well as the In Prison rule, the La Partage rule also reduces the casinos edge to only 1.35%.
