Few people know that roulette hides a strange detail: the sum of all numbers on the wheel is 666. That’s why it’s nicknamed the “Devil’s Wheel.”The question is: is it just a mathematical coincidence or a symbol meant to fuel superstition and add mystery to the game?The American mathematician Patrick Billingsley said: “No system can turn a game that favors the house into a profitable activity for the player.”The roulette wheel has 37 or 38 slots numbered from 0 (and, in some cases, 00) to 36. The sum of all the numbers on the roulette wheel is, accidentally or not, 666 the famous Number of the Beast from the Bible. Because of this, the Blanc brothers famous casino directors in France in the 1840s were accused of having sold their soul to the devil in exchange for the success of roulette.

Roulette has brought me more money than all the slots I've played combined. That's why roulette is always my priority. As for your question about whether there is something supernatural in this game, in my opinion, yes, there definitely is.

I’m glad you said that! I also won the same way, just like you said, the most money! And two weeks ago I won about $300 at roulette!But how many manage to walk away in time?

Perfect! That seems to be the easiest part, but the real challenge begins when you play!

If roulette brings you profit, then it doesn't matter what you or others associate it with.
I think there are two most important factors when playing roulette. First, never spend more than you originally planned. Second, you need to clearly understand when it's better to stop, get up and leave :)

In gambling, the real victory isn’t just the money won, but the moment you know when to say: ‘that’s it, I stand up and walk away.’ That’s the discipline that separates luck from strategy. How do you manage to stop in time?”

I've heard of the devil's doorbell, not the devil's wheel.

If you know it's called that, that's okay! But the world knows that it is assigned the name of the devil's wheel! It is not the meaning of this name that is important. Do you believe in this or is it just superstition?

The devil's doorbell has nothing to do with Roulette.

I believe that people call it the devil's wheel, because in real life people can do that, as for superstitions, Nah, I don't believe that rubbish can help anyone, especially on machines that are designed to be totally random like a slot machine.

I don't see anything supernatural in roulette or numbers. I am skeptical about all kinds of superstitions. In my opinion, roulette is just a tool for commercial activity and entertainment :)

Despite the superstition, many people play and are not afraid, which means there is nothing scary about it)

“No system can turn a game that favors the house into a profitable activity for the player.”
In my opinion, this is absolutely true. No matter what system you use, if luck is not on your side, you will get nothing but losses.

No matter how many systems or strategies we try to invent, the reality remains the same: casino games are designed to favor the house.

I read somewhere that roulette was invented first, and only then the wheel. I don't know if it's true, but I love roulette and play it quite often. I play using my own rather primitive system, which sometimes brings a profit.

Roulette was born in France, as a numbers game inspired by Biribi. Only later did the numbered wheel become the central element, turning the game into a casino icon.In the 17th and 18th centuries there were games with wheels and number betting, inspired by the various gambling practices from ancient Rome and Greece.

I rarely play roulette. It's a difficult game, in my opinion. Everything depends solely on intuition. I think the only system worth following when playing roulette is the bankroll management system. It's not a guarantee that you'll win money, but at least you won't lose a critical amount.
