In the early eighteenth century, Hoca was played in casinos across Europe. The game evolved to include a spinning wheel with numbered slots and a numbered table.
In American Roulette, the wheel is spun counter-clockwise and then a ball is spun clockwise around the wheel. Eventually, the ball drops into one of the wheel's numbered slots. Players place bets on the numbered table in an attempt to determine which number or color the ball will land on.
American Roulette has 38 numbered slots, including 0 and 00.
