Roulette Games

The accepted father of all roulette games was Pascal Blaise, an intriguing and brilliant 17th century French mathematician with a penchant for making money. It was he who introduced his simple game of chance on an unsuspecting world; a game that has been a staple of casinos throughout the world ever since! He could never have dreamt that his fascination with numbers and probabilities would produce a game that would become a worldwide phenomenon. But, even after 300-odd years, and a few enhancements, roulette games are still the punters’ favourite!

There are two types of roulette games prevalent in casinos across the world; American and European. Both games are played almost identically with a couple of slight differences, however the main differentiator is that the American version has an extra ‘00’ pocket on the wheel in addition to the standard European ‘0’ pocket. So, if you are playing an American wheel the chance of the ball landing in a single number pocket is 38/1, as opposed to the European chances of 37/1. However, the eagle-eyed amongst you will spot that the odds actually paid out on a single number are 35/1 in both roulette games! Well, you can’t begrudge the house making a living and covering its overheads!
