Roulette is a popular casino game that originated in France. In Kannada, roulette is commonly referred to as “ರೂಲೆಟ್“ （pronounced as roo-let）. The game involves a spinning wheel with numbered pockets and a small ball. Players place bets on where they think the ball will land after the wheel stops spinning.
In Karnataka and other Indian states where Kannada is spoken, roulette is primarily found in licensed casinos and gambling establishments. The basic rules remain the same as international versions - players can bet on single numbers, groups of numbers, colors （red or black）, or whether the number will be odd or even. 
The Kannada term “ರೂಲೆಟ್“ is a direct transliteration of the English word “roulette.“ Some older Kannada speakers might use the term “ಚಕ್ರ ಜೂಜು“ （chakra jooju） which literally means “wheel gambling,“ but this is less common in modern usage.
It\“s important to note that gambling laws vary across different states in India. While some states like Goa and Sikkim have legal casinos, other states prohibit gambling activities. Always check local regulations before participating in any form of gambling. |
