Roulette is the most popular gambling game. Only slots can compete with it. But if the slots - it is purely "random", lucky, or not, whether to bet on red, on black, on what numbers is a science. Therefore, roulette attracts not only fans of gambling, but also mathematical theories. And what else can be said about this game? Here are the most interesting facts!
There are about 70,000 roulette tables in the world
That's purely fickle, changing. It also doesn't consider online versions. Nevertheless, it is impressive. Macau has the most roulette tables, including the VIP lounges. However, each table is literally a rarity. Only five are produced per year in the world. This is less than VIP iPhones, exclusive author's jewelry, and personalized outfits "couture".
On average, roulette spins for a minute
These sixty seconds stretch endlessly for the one who made a bet and now eagerly awaits the result. And the record of rotation was recorded in Atlantic City. It was 2 minutes and 8 seconds. We can only imagine how those who were waiting for the bet to win or not, changed their faces.
Almost everyone knows about roulette
90% of adults have heard of such a gambling game. But here really tried to spin the red-black "Wheel of Fortune" less than one percent.
Roulette makes you believe in magic
Nine out of ten players who regularly make bets, admitted that they have certain "lucky" numbers. However, they didn't share them - they didn't want to risk scaring off luck. As a rule, special numbers are associated with the birthdays of loved ones, wedding dates and other important events. But there are also the most statistically popular numbers - 17, 32, 2, 5, 29 and zero. This can be explained by the fact that people bet more often on the middle column, as many strategies suggest.
The maximum roulette winnings amounted to 150 million dollars
True, the bet itself was corresponding. It was made by an Australian tycoon, and obviously he did not lay out a couple of chips for a hundred. So, this is a series of "justified and reasonable" luck. And the casino probably earned more on VIP-guests than it gave to the winner.
Roulette - a man's game
In principle, all gambling games are more popular with the stronger sex. In roulette, the skew is quite significant: about 80 to 20%. Girls are less inclined to take risks, and by the way, women are less likely to make large bets. Usually limited to small, and in the casino come not to win crazy millions, and just have a good time.
As a rule, the same sector does not fall out twice
But there are exceptions. The maximum result is sector number 7, which fell out six times. Of course, this is a unique situation. So much so that it was recorded in the Guinness Book of Records. There have never been any other similar coincidences. The theory of probability is working as it should.
The maximum bet is a million dollars
It was made at an establishment called Binyon's Horseshoe in Las Vegas. By the way, the bet won.
People play roulette for hours
The record is six days. This also happened in Las Vegas, and the player was not an old woman.
They play everywhere
At sea, on trains, and even in trucks. It is planned to play in space, although it is not very clear how it will be realized in the absence of gravity - after all, the ball bounces on the holes, obeying the force of gravity.
