Roullete is a popular casino game that involves spinning a wheel and betting on the number in which the ball will land. It is a game of chance and is wildly popular at online casinos as well as in traditional gambling dens worldwide.
The Roulette game was developed from the Italian casino game Biribi. A player may choose to bet on a single number, various groupings of numbers, whether the number is red or black, or if it is odd or even. There is also the option to make a bet without a specific number, called an outside bet. These bets usually have lower payouts but higher chances of winning.
Erik Kristopher Myers’ debut feature Roulette is a finely tuned film that proves directing is more than just pointing a camera. While plenty of independent cinema out there consists of gimmicky shock tactics, this is a surprisingly nuanced picture that demonstrates Myers’ potential to direct complex human stories.
In the United States, the Roulette wheel was made famous in gambling dens across America, where cheating became rampant. As a result, the game was redesigned to prevent devices from being hidden in the table or wheel and the betting layout was simplified.
