Roulette

The Isle of Man online gambling software provider Microgaming has released its tranche of new games for the month of July 2008, with French Roulette Gold as the flagship. This an up-to-the-minute Internet version of the traditional casino table game with a distinctly Gallic ambience.

Roulette is played with a small wheel with pockets at the bottom. These pockets have a number inside each one of them ranging from 1 – 36. Each pocket is arranged in the wheel with alternate colors, black and red. One pocket also has a zero on it, and it is colored green. As the wheel is spun around by the croupier, he will also eventually spin a small smooth ball into the opposite direction of the wheel’s spin and wait for the ball to fall into one of the pockets. Players try to foresee where the ball might fall and place their bets on their favored number before the croupier starts the spin. Once the bets are in and the croupier starts the spin, players cannot move their bets anymore.

Roulette is a casino game that is played with a wheel and a smooth ball. The croupier spins the wheel first before spinning the ball in another direction on a circular field that is at the outer circumference of the wheel. In American Roulette, there are 38 slots where the ball could fall into. These slots are numbered 1 – 36 and in either black or red colors. There are two other slots that have 0 and 00 on them, and these are colored green. The numbers on the wheel are not arranged according to their value. Instead, they are by alternate pairs of odd numbers and alternate pairs of even numbers.
