French mathematician Blaise Pascal gets the credit for inventing roulette back in the seventeenth century. Today there are roulette tournaments online today offering a creative way to make money. Roulette also has a strange reputation as being 'the devils game' but only because it consists of the numbers one through thirty six which add up to six, six, six. There are two different types of roulette. The European style engages a wheel with pockets numbered from 1-36 plus the 'number' zero. Wagers can be placed on individual numbers or by choosing a combination of numbers. This process gives players the chance to win thirty five times their original bet. Online roulette is interface oriented. The software gives you the feeling you are at the wheel. As you choose the chip value and place it on the numbered location, the software gives the player information such as the name of the bet, the odds it could pay out and the number and amounts other people have placed on that spot. Chip selection for outside bets is automatically a minimum table amount. InterCasino's weekly roulette tournament is a fun way to get involved. Malta’s E.U. licensed InterCasino, launched in 1996 is one of the first casinos in the online gaming industry. It is powered by Cryptologic and does not accept players from the USA. Last week's tournament took place from 5th – 11th October, 2009, and was Euro Roulette. In this tournament the casino gives you £500 and challenges you to compete against other players to end up as one of the top six players, with the highest balance, after 30 minutes play.
