Roulette History

Roulette is an ancient game dating back to the 18th century. A primitive form of this game was started in France in the 17th century by Blaise Pascal. It is believed to be a mix of several games including the English Roly-poly, Reiner, Ace of Hearts and E.O., as well as the Italian games of Hoca and Biribi, and the french board game also called roulette.

In the 19th century the game spread across Europe and America, therefore gaining popularity worldwide. There was a time however, when the game was illegal and the only legalised casino was moved to Monte Carlo. Since then Monte Carlo has become a gamblers’ heaven as we know it today. Eventually the game reached the U.S. and developed in the game we know at present, with the wheel placed on top of a table and a simplified betting layout.

Roulette Rules

Playing the roulette is no rocket science. Contrary to popular belief, it is a simple and straightforward game. There are a number of betting options which you can choose from, and the payout odds for each type of bet depends on its probability. So you can choose to place inside bets where you either choose the number that you think the ball will end up on, or a small range of numbers. You can also opt for outside betting where you can choose a larger group of numbers, or whether the number is red or black, as well as betting on whether it will be an odd or even number.

If you try out our roulette provided above you will notice that if you hold the cursor over the sign that illustrates the minimum and maximum bet allowed you will also be able to see how much you will get back from your various stakes. So if you put €5 on a bet that says 5:1 payback and win, you will get €30 back, making it a net profit of €25. Therefore the profit would be 5 times what you had started off with.

Roulette System

In order to have a better chance of winning it would be better to play roulette in a systematic manner. The best known system is the one invented in France in the 18th century, called the Martingale roulette. In this system it is suggested that the bet is doubled after every loss. However you should keep in mind that this is not a foolproof system.

So if you are doubling the bet every time, let’s say you bet €1 on red and you lose, you will then have to bet €2 on red. Unfortunately you lose this bet this time as well so for the next round you will have to bet €4. If this time you win, you would have won €8 with an investment of €7, thus making a net profit of €1.

However the Martingale system would be infallible if you had an infinite amount of money, infinite time available for playing and infinite attempts. Now since every roulette table has a maximum betting limit, whether the Martingale system works or not depends on luck. If you are unlucky and lose at every round you will end up with losing everything.

So if you want to test yourself in this game, as well as check how the system works, we suggest you try the game offered above. There you can play for as long as you want so that you can get an idea of how it works, and also find the system that really works for you, before starting to play for real.
