ROULETTE Meaning and Definition

  1. Roulette is a popular casino game that originated in France in the 18th century. It is a game of chance in which players place bets on a numbered, colored wheel, and a small ball is spun into the wheel in the opposite direction. The wheel typically consists of 37 or 38 slots, numbered from 0 to 36 (or 00 in American roulette), alternating between red and black colors. The objective of the game is to predict the slot or group of slots in which the ball will come to rest.

    In roulette, players have various betting options. They can place bets on individual numbers, groups of numbers, the color of the slot (red or black), odd or even numbers, or whether the number will be high (19-36) or low (1-18). Different bets offer different payouts, with riskier bets having higher payout ratios.

    Once all bets have been placed, the croupier spins the wheel and releases the ball in the opposite direction. As the ball loses momentum, it eventually falls into one of the numbered slots. The winning number and color are determined, and all winning bets are paid out accordingly.

    Roulette offers a thrilling and fast-paced gambling experience, attracting players from around the world. Its simplicity, coupled with the excitement of not knowing where the ball will land, has made it one of the most widely recognized and played casino games globally.

  2. A small instrument used by engravers to produce a series of dotted lines on a plate; a game of chance played with a small ball on a circle divided into red and black spaces.
