The gambling game of Roulette has been around since the 17th Century, the name 'Roulette' meaning 'small wheel' in French. The excitement that surrounds Roulette table in a casino has been brilliantly captured in online casinos in the form of online Roulette.
The game itself is relatively easy to play. The game involves a numbered table, a spinning wheel containing the corresponding numbers, a little white ball that is released into the wheel and a dealer or croupier that controls the wheel and betting etc.
In online Roulette there are two main typed of bets - 'inside' bets and 'outside' bets. Inside bets are bet placed on the actual numbers (0 to 36) on the table, while outside bets are placed on the Red or Black, Odds or Evens etc squares outside of the table's numbered area.
Each round of roulette starts when the croupier says ' place your bets' and all the Roulette players place as many of their chips as they want on the table, on inside or outside bets.
When all bets have been placed, the croupier will announce 'no more bets' and he will spin the roulette wheel and release the little ball.
Unaided, the ball will come to rest in a numbered slot (either red, black or green) and if a players chips correspond with the number or color, he or she will be paid out according to the type of bet they placed on the table.
