To understand the game better, let us examine its origins and rules
Origins
There are numerous theories as to who exactly invented the tabletop game, but it is widely believed that a French scientist named Blaise Pascal was responsible for its creation in 1655. It should not come as a surprise that Blaise was a physicists and mathematician since roulette in its unrigged form, is strongly dependent on both disciplines he had mastered. Roulette is translated into French for little wheel.’’ Now, down to the more technical aspects of the game.
The person who handles the roulette bets and tosses the white ball into its spinning wheel is known as the croupier. The betting table is marked into grids, which reflect the possible areas where the ball could land within. Once bets are finalized, the wheel is spun while the white ball is placed about a track at the outer edge of the wheel.
Bets are divided into three categories: outside, inside and announced bets.
