The game itself is beautiful in its simplicity,
38 numbers on a carved wheel, a white ivory
ball spinning the opposite way until gravity
brings it bursting onto the wheel, where it
comes to rest between brass dividers. Your task
is simple: predict the number that the ball
will fall into. Roulette can be a game of steady
small wagers paying as low as one-to-one for
which color will appear, or you can cash a big
win at
35-1 for picking the exact number that comes
up.
Have patience, this game is as much fun today
as when it was played in the King's Court in
France.
