Roulette is arguably the most popular casino game in the world. The game, as we know it today, was first introduced in 18th century France but it was in the German city of Hamburg and in Monte Carlo that the game became a success.
The roulette wheel has 36 pockets with the numbers 1-36 where 18 are black and 18 red. In addition to the black and red numbers there is 1 green number 0 in the European form of roulette. In American roulette there is also a double zero (00) making the total number of pockets 38.
Inside bets and outside bets
When playing roulette you have several different betting options. It’s called inside bets when you choose a pocket number where the ball will land (eg 1-37). Outside bets are bets on different combinations of pocket numbers, the color of the pocket or if the ball will land on an odd or even-numbered pocket. You can place both inside and outside bets during the game until the dealer says that the game is over.
