Gambling is considered to be the preferred past time of a majority of people. However, out of all the popular games, roulette happens to be a favourite. We all know about the two major kinds of roulette called the American roulette and the European Roulette.

Roulette is the game in which a ball is tossed on a circular spinning wheel. As far as the American version is concerned there are 38 numbers on the wheel including the zero and the double zero, whereas the European version includes 37 numbers with just a zero on it. There are a number of ways you can bet in roulette and there are several inside bets, columns and many more. The only difference between the two is the inclusion of double zero in American roulette. In addition, there is another roulette called the Russian roulette.

This is considered to be the most dangerous game in gambling. Russian roulette is illegal in almost all the countries but is still widely played. Here you not only gamble your money but you also risk your life. This roulette is played over a revolver. Here the player is required to put the bullet in the gun’s cylinder and rotate it. There has to be only one bullet in the gun and every player is required to pull the trigger on his head. You win if the bullet isn’t fired and you would certainly lose your life if it hits you.

The game is known to originate from Russia and the Russians were known to play this game with the prisoners. The prisoners were asked to fire the shots on their heads and the observers were asked to bet in their money. They would bet on which prisoner would be hit by the bullet and which one would survive. But the funny fact is that the winner would be the one who placed a bet on the prisoner who died.
