Take a turn at the dice.  This is something you might find Bond playing. 

Roulette goes back to the ancient Greeks, when the soldiers would spin their shields on the points of their swords and then bet on where they would stop.  And in Roman times, Caesar played on a chariot wheel that he had installed in the gaming room of his palace.  The game was we know it today, is of French origin and dates from the early 19^th century.    Roulette is an intriguing game that is played throughout the world.  The large payoffs that are possible for small wagers always stimulate the interest of the expert as well as the novice players.

 

Different players use different colored chips so that bets are never confused.  The value of your chips is determined by the price you pay for them.  These chips are only good at the roulette table and cannot be generally used anywhere else.

 

Each spin of the wheel provides a multitude of options for the player.  A player may bet on a single number, rows of numbers or on adjacent numbers.  A player may also play colors, odd or even numbers among others.  A bet on a single number pays 35 to 1, including the 0 and the 00.  Bets on red or black, odd or even pay 1 to 1 and generally carry a steep minimum bet.
