The invention of the game that we're familiar with today is generally attributed to the French philosopher and mathematician, Blaise Pascal, who is credited with originating the probability theory.But forerunners of Roulette, basically carnival wheel games, were in use throughout Europe, as early as the mid-1500s. It's simply a guessing game with a little white ball and a big spinning wheel.The ball spins in one direction as the wheel spins in the other, until the ball lands in one of the 38 pockets on the wheel.If your money is on the right number, set of numbers, or color, you collect. What could be easier than that? There are a dozen different bets to be made on a Roulette wheel. They fall under one of two categories: "inside" bets and "outside" bets.Inside bets are made on the individual numbers, one through 36, and the zeros.Betting on a single number is called a "straight-up" wager. Those are all the inside bets.Outside bets are the wagers made on the outside of the layout. These are the bets on red-black, odd-even, and high-low.If you place your chips in the even box and the ball drops into the number 24, you win. These bets pay even money.You can bet on 12 numbers each in the "column" boxes at the far end of the layout. If you put a $5 chip in the second column and the ball drops into number 17, you win $10.You can mix, match and make as many bets as you like on a single spin. Read a book, ask a dealer, study the layout, or just watch for a while and you'll quickly know how to make every bet that's offered.The chip system for Roulette is a little different from the other table games. There will be a table minimum and a chip minimum.The table minimum applies to all bets on the table. It indicates the lowest wager allowed on any outside bet and the lowest total bet inside.The chip minimum tells you the least amount you can bet inside on a number. In other words, you can bet 50 cents on four different numbers.You are allowed to place bets even while the wheel is spinning, up until the point when the dealer announces, "No more bets." This is the fun part. On a table that's really jamming, players twist, lunge and sometimes elbow their way past other players to get their bets down before the deadline.When you're ready to cash out, don't forget to redeem your wheel chips (for real chips) right at the table. The house edge on a single-zero wheel is only 2.7%.The double-zero game has one bet that you should always avoid: the five-number bet on 0, 00, 1, 2, 3.
