Culture / History • The first form of roulette was made in 18th century France. • In the 17th century, Blaise Pascal introduced a basic form of roulette in his search for a perpetual motion machine. • As early as 1796, the game has been played in its present form in Paris. • In the 1800’s, the roulette game spread all over Europe and the U.S.A, becoming one of the most famous and most popular casino games.
Rules • A U.S. roulette wheel consists of 38 numbered slots: numbers 1 to 36, a zero, and a double zero. • You can bet on a particular number being landed on by the ball, or some characteristic of that figure. • Your can gamble if it will be odd or even, or fall within the first 12 figures. • Also you can see if the ball will land in a black or red pocket, or that it will be between both and find the elusive green zero pocket. • After the players make their bets, the dealer spins the wheel and a ball and after a few seconds the ball will land in one of the numbered slots.
Materials / Setup • The roulette table comes with 6-8 sets of different colored chips, each set consisting of 300 chips. • When a player buys-in they get their own color The value would be the buy-in # of chips received • Dealer places a toke on top of the dealer’s stack of the color of chips to indicate the value.
