When it stops, the winning number and colour are revealed. ‘Place your bets’ to mark the beginning of betting and ‘No more bets’ to announce the end of betting when the ball is still turning in the wheel. The game is shaped by the Croupier’s announcements. To play, you must take a seat around the Table. It’s up to you to guess the number and the colour where the ball will stop. Finally, each player plays with specially coloured chips which can only be used at the Table, where they are bought from the Croupier. Moreover, no one will be put ‘in prison’ if the 0 comes up on the ‘even money’ bets (Red, Black, Even, Odd, Low, High) the player simply loses half the amount of the bet. The difference is in the number of players, limited to 7, and in the Layout, the combinations and the winnings staying the same. It uses the same wheel with 37 pockets numbered 0 to 36 and a similar ball. English Roulette is a variation of French Roulette, which was invented in the 17th century by Blaise Pascal.
