Online Roulette

Roulette, meaning ‘small wheel’ in French, is a famous gambling game played by throwing a small round ball into the spinning roulette wheel (in a direction opposite to the spin of the roulette wheel). When the wheel comes to a halt after sometime, the roulette ball will come to rest on some numbered slots/pockets. The game is all about placing bets on certain numbers or a series of numbers on the anticipation that the ball might land on it after the spin. If the ball lands as the player wagered, he’ll win money. Else, he’ll lose.
