You may not know this, but roulettei s nicknamed the Devils game, and the reason behind it is quite intriguing. If you add up all the numbers shown on the wheel, the total is 666 which is also thought to be the number of the beast. Now that’s a bit scary! But, don’t let that put you off because as it goes roulette is statistically one of the best games for actually standing a chance of winning. If you bet on black, for example, you have a 50/50 chance of winning – almost – although the odds are relatively low, so you don’t win much money. We say it’s nearly 50/50 because the English roulette wheel has a 0, and the American roulette wheel has a 0 and a 00 which slightly skewed the odds away from being 50/50.
Interesting fact about roulette! I didn't know that the sum of the numbers on the wheel adds up to 666, known as the "number of the beast." It's understandable why people might view roulette as the devil's game because of this eerie connection.
