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. If the ball drops into the number 23 pocket, you're paid off at 35-1. This "split" bet pays off at 17-1.You can bet on three numbers at a time, paying 11-1, four numbers (8-1), five numbers (6-1) and six numbers (5-1) Those are all the inside bets.Outside bets are the wagers made on the outside of the layout. If it drops into number 23, you lose. Simple as that. 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. You can buy in and play with standard casino chips, but each table has its own set of special "wheel chips."Wheel chips, which come in several different colors, are used so that the dealer can distinguish among all the different players' bets on the layout.When you go to exchange your cash, or casino chips, for wheel chips, inform the dealer of the denomination (within the stated betting limits) that you want your chips to be.Say you want each chip to be worth $1. If you've got one of those feelings that the next number will be 15 and somebody's already on that number, just pile your wheel chips right on top.Before sitting down to play, take particular note of the table-minimum betting rules. There will be a table minimum and a chip minimum.The table minimum applies to all bets on the table. Here's an example. The zeros are called house numbers, because when the ball lands in one of them, the casino collects all bets except those placed on the zeros.The casino advantage on a double-zero Roulette wheel is 5.26%. While interesting to observe and look for patterns, they don't provide much information of practical use.

Roulette Tips

Keep in mind that all the bets on the roulette table naturally return a 5.25% Casino Advantage (except the five-number bet), although there are some situations when this advantage can be lowered to 2.6% and 1.3%.  With this in mind, here are the best non-system related tips that will help a player hold out at the roulette table:
