Roulette is truly the international symbol of the casino, as is also one of the most popular games in the casino. It has figured prominently in many movies and television shows, since it is one of the casino most elegant games. It is also a game that is easy and simple to learn, since it is totally a game of chance. No skill is needed to play the game of Kings, of presidents and of celebrities.
Roulette was invented in the middle ages by a French monk that later tried to find a mathematical solution that would let the player win every time. When he did not succeed he went insane and left his efforts to others. Roulette grew in polarity, and was played by the Elite of Europe in those days. When the American settlers came over, they brought the roulette wheel with them. However, they did make a few changes as the years went by. This was so that they could play with a higher house edge. The Americans added another zero to the roulette wheel, thus making the house edge much higher than the single zero, or European roulette wheel.
The actual game play of roulette is very simple, but it can be at times very confusing to the first time player. First of all, it a quiet, elegant game, not one in which there is a lot of yelling and shouting like in other games. It is considered bad form to yell at the roulette table.
