American Roulette
The game of Roulette is one of the simplest games to play for the novice, and remains one of the most popular casino games the world over. American Roulette is the modern game of Roulette found in most casinos. A short introduction to American ("Double zero") roulette is all that's needed to demonstrate that it is an exciting, interesting and intriguing game.

The American roulette table has a spinning wheel with 38 slots, pockets. The pockets are numbered from 1 to 36 and coloured red or black. Two special pockets, ''zero'' and ''double zero'', are marked with green colour. To begin you must choose a colour and place your bet on either red or black.

The roulette wheel is spun and a ball is thrown into it against the direction of spinning. When the ball settles down and rests in a pocket, the number on the pocket that has caught the ball wins. All pockets are identical and the numbers are arranged mathematically for even distribution by value, colour, high or low and odd or even so the ball has an equal chance to end up in all of them. If you win, keep your winnings and place your starting bet again. If you lose, double your stake and place a bet on the same color again. If this bet wins, your net result after two bets is the same as if you had one you initial bet.

If your second bet loses, double your stake again, and continue doing this until your color does come up, at which point your net win from the string of bets will be the same as if you won your starting bet. It doesn't take too many losing bets in a row for your bet amount to climb to quite a big number. Be very aware of the table bet limit - if you reach this before you have a win then you stand to lose a considerable amount.
