All of you roulette and gambling enthusiast out there have probably heard at one time or another, that the casino is the Devil’s playground. Gamblers, often sitting at tables for hours on end, bet all but their soles for a chance at riches, with no clocks on the walls to tell you how much of your life has been wasted and cold air running across the casino floor to keep you awake.
Personally, I think that such statements are over dramatic and nonsense as the majority of casino goers frequent these establishments for the pure enjoyment and excitement that gambling can offer. Though it is inevitable that someone, somewhere out there is betting money they shouldn’t, most gamblers, novice and experienced alike, are rational individuals who eventually know when to stop.
Despite knowing this, it is hard to overlook one glaring and freaky fact about gambling and in particular, roulette, that will make a chill run up any gamblers back. When adding up all the numbers on a roulette wheel, American and European style alike, it equals 666. This coincidence, along with roulette’s high house edge, gives this game a very inauspicious feel. Black and Red spaces on the wheel, numbers adding up to 666, it is all very creepy if you ask me, especially when the ledged says that roulette’s creator made a deal with the devil to obtain eh secrets of the game.
Therefore, I have to say that this one is still open for debate, however, knowing this is enough to keep this gambler at the blackjack tables, as any way you slice it, 21 is a lot luckier than 666.
