The game itself has been around for hundreds of years so it did have some interesting times in becoming popular. In fact, it was told that this game originated from a scientist during a physics experiment and then became a form of entertainment for the monasteries before hitting up to the casinos. One thing that always stuck with the game was the entertainment, even before money and gambling became involved.

This game is fun to play when you are around many people because they can all play at the same time. In the casinos, you will usually find a large crowd around the wheel with the table covered in various chips. This game, along with craps, is considered a social type of game since people gather around a single table as opposed to having a slot machine all to yourself. Also, it usually takes a few minutes for each spin in a land based casino so players can chill out and have drinks while socializing with their friends or other people around the table while the croupier (roulette dealers) places bets and spins the wheel.

Besides the excitement of the game along with cheering on the spinning wheel, the game is incredibly easy to play. Basically players just need to bet on a single number or pick a color and bet on it. Some of the bets are as easy as betting on whether a coin will be flipped heads or tails. The actual odds are nearly identical as well. Again, this game is much more exciting than flipping a coin and why the game is widely accepted as a fun and popular game. Anyone can jump right into the action, even if you are playing online as well.
