Roulette is likely the oldest casino game still
being played in casinos today. The modern roulette wheel
hasn't changed for over 200 years. In Europe, roulette is
extremely popular and accounts for more than half of casino
revenues. In the states, the game is significantly less
popular. This may be at least partly because of the addition
of a "00" on the American roulette wheel which doubles the house
advantage for the game.
In the American version of Roulette, the wheel has a
total of 38 pockets. 1-36, 0, and 00. Pockets 1-36 are
evenly split between red and black pockets, while 0 and 00 are
green.
