Heads Up Roulette

One casino game that feels heads-up is roulette. I cannot tell you how many times I have played the game with the though that my real opponent was not the casino, or fate, but that damn roulette dealer. I could be hanging with my party poker crew at a given casino, whooping it up, but park me in front of the roulette table, even with my buds, and its just me and that damn roulette dealer.

It seems that it doesn't matter which roulette strategie I choose. In the end, my fun really depends on how I interact with the casino staff at the game. Whether I'm sticking to my usual numbers or using a different roulette system, like doubling my Black bet until it finally hits, if the staff is giving me the eye or is not willing to play along with the tomfoolery, the game can grind to a halt.

Get me a good dealer, though, and any outcome can be met with joy. I guess it just goes to show you that its not just the game, but the people in the game that help make it fun.
