Roulette is more popular in Europe than in the United States mainly because the European wheel offers better odds with one less possibility to bet on (no double zero). But don’t buy that plane ticket to Paris quite yet. Although most of the wheels in the United States have 38 pockets (two green numbers), you can find European wheels in some upscale American casinos.

The roulette wheel is a readily recognizable casino icon, conjuring up images of tradition and nobility, creating an ambience of luxury and elegance. In fact, roulette is the oldest of all the casino games and is still around for two good reasons: It’s fun, and it’s very easy to play. Roulette is probably the best place for you as a novice to start your gambling experience (although not always the smartest because of the odds).
The centerpiece of this age-old game is the beautifully crafted wheel in which a small, white ball spins around a groove and drops down into one compartment, or pocket, on the roulette wheel. Over the centuries, a number of scientists and mathematicians have tried to figure out how to beat the wheel, but such systems and theories always end in failure.
The fact is that where the roulette wheel stops is a matter of chance. And chance rarely favors the players because the stiff house odds virtually ensure a profit for the casino. So playing roulette isn’t what I call the likeliest route to becoming independently wealthy.
The game still has a seductive appeal, and if you catch on to some time-tested betting strategies, you can manage your gambling bankroll and stretch it into an enjoyable casino pastime. In this chapter, I explain the game’s basics, some important betting tips, and some helpful strategies.
