When you think about roulette games, you are probably thinking about games played in which a wheel is involved and this form of gambling has been know to have been played since the first roulette game was discovered in the seventeenth century by a mathematician. After that first invention, there was no looking back for the roulette games which became very popular in the West and even in the United States though here it is played in a variation somewhat unlike what is played in the European countries.

Roulette games that are played in the United States has a square that has double zeros while in the European version there are no double zeros, and even when you visit various casinos you will find a variety of roulette games that are being played and such games are even popularly played at sponsored events and even when fundraising.

There is another difference between the roulette games played in the United States and those played in Europe in that in the American game, persons playing roulette are allowed to play with chips of different colors while in the European version of the game, the chips are not of different colors, and even though this difference may appear insignificant, it does highlight the difficulty that players have in when playing with chips of the same color because they won't always be sure of how much they are betting when using chips that are all of the same color.

There is also a roulette game known as "In Prison" that is a variation of the European style of the game in which the player is allowed, when a zero comes up, to choose between surrendering one half of outside bets they made or carry them forward to the next game. Such an option allows the European version of roulette games to be easier since the house does not have such a great advantage as when this option is not available and so if you are a beginner at roulette games, then this form of the game would be well suited for you.

In any case, roulette games are very exciting and fun to play and the beauty of these games is that they can be played virtually anywhere though the only constraining factor would be the laws in the state where you are intending to play which may or may not allow this form of gambling. However, in states where roulette games and gambling are not allowed, you can still bet at the wheel of fortune if it is being played at a special event or for fundraising though betting or winning money is not allowed with fake money being the common denomination.
