There’s something about the spinning wheel. Perhaps it has a mesmerising effect, a kind of hypnotic inducement for those who watch it - who knows! But whatever it is, people love it. T%he spinning wheel, the rattling ball, the red and black, the chips piled high. That’s roulette!
There are usually a maximum of eight players who are opposing the house. The croupier, who represents the house, is the one who spins the wheel. He or she also handles all the bets and the payouts. There are two different versions of roulette: European and American. The European model has 37 slots - 36 numbers and a single zero. The American model has 38 slots - 36 numbers and a double zero.
The game proceeds with the players placing their chips to bet on the table on the colour or number of their choice. There are many different ways that a player can bet and the croupier waits until everyone playing has placed. Then he spins the wheel and a moment or so later he launches the ball, usually in the opposite rotational direction to the spin of the wheel.
