Roulette and fun go together like chocolate and ice cream. Most movies that show a gaming scene almost always show a roulette table as it looks like fun, the players are elegantly dressed and the money won is in large stacks. This is not just true for the movies, it is true at many roulette games around the world in live casinos, it has always been a popular casino game. The visual part of roulette is sadly missed online as you cannot see any of the other players and feel the excitement of a winning spin. The elegance of the game is the dress and the large payoffs when a spin drops into the right number. The excitement of a winning table is contagious and can be literally felt in your body and listening to the ball fall in to place on your pocket can be exhilarating.

Playing roulette can be fun for many reasons; one of those is that the game is very easy to pick up and another is that has that so many different bets you can choose from there really is a bet for every player. If you’re not feeling so lucky or your new to the game you can choose between some of the low risk bets which offer even money payouts. Alternatively, if you are feeling brave or lucky you can take on one of the bigger bets with odds of up to 35 to one pay offs for betting on a single number.

The fun of playing roulette is getting a lucky run and walking away with some of the houses money to make a profit. A table with a friendly group of players, who are rooting for all to win, is a “happening”. Playing roulette at such a table is very enjoyable when the table is cooperating by giving the players winning bets and payouts. If you hit a couple of those 35 to 1 bets, you get a real rush. Knowing about the different bets and how to arrange the bets will allow more enjoyment as you can cut down the house edge a little. Playing smart and lucky will be more fun than stupid and unlucky it is also fun to try out any of the systems you may have read about. The ambience of a well-dressed group of players at a roulette table is often seen in the movies. There is a romance to the game in the publics mind. Whether it is warranted is another question, but perception is reality in the casino world. Roulette loses some of its edge online as you cannot see the other people and enjoy the casinos atmostphere. The betting action is the same, but the real live excitement of the table is not.

The excited player yelling at a winning table gets every one up and running to watch the action. Roulette can draw a crowd if a player is winning a lot. Hot games in a casino are like a magnet to the players near by. They will be attracted to the excited cheers and the oohing and awing crowd. The next time you’r in a casino try the game and see how much fun it is. If you are lucky you will have some fun.

Men Nguyen
The first name at my top five poker players list is Men Nguyen, also known as “the master”. Men got his nickname for a very good reason. He is, in this writer’s opinion, the most dedicated poker player there is. For spectators who watch his at a tournament for the first time, it may seem as if he is not entirely focused on the game – this can not be more further from the truth. Men is always more prepared then anyone else and he is constantly eager to learn more strategies and more gaming moves. He is the best in reading his opponent’s hand and also one of the most pleasant people to ever sit at a poker table. And so, he is number one in this list.

T.J.Cloutier
Thomas J.Cloutier is the only person in the history of the World Series of Poker to have won events in Pot Limit High, Limit High, and Limit 8-or-Better High-low split.
He has won more tournaments then any other poker player and is considered, by fellow poker players, as one of the best poker players in the world.
Cloutier has won more money in tournaments then titles, and he is the first player to ever win at a tournament an amount of over one million dollars without winning the main event. He has won over the year’s sum of over seven million dollars and he is number two in this list.

Phil Hellmuth
Phil Hellmuth is probably the one poker player who achieved the most in the shortest period of time. He is the youngest person to ever achieve his first World Series of Poker title at the age of 24. Hellmuth won at more than 50 tournaments, and received nine World Series of Poker bracelets in many other tournaments all around the world. He released several poker books which one of them entered The New York Times Bestseller list and there is soon to be a reality show staring him.
His goal is to be known as the best poker player of all times. In 1996 the poker industry voted him the “best all around tournament poker player in the world”. In this list, he is number three.

Johnny Chan
Johnny Chan won twice at the World Series of Poker, and shares this achievement with only one other person (Doyle Brunson).he won two years in a row and almost accomplished three years, but came in second after Phil Hellmuth (number three in this list).He released two poker books and played himself, in the movie “Rounders”, as the best poker player in the world.
In 2002 he entered the Poker Hall of Fame, but in this list, he entered the fourth place.

Phil Laak
Number five in this list is Phil Laak, also known as “the Unabomber”. Laak got his nick name for always wearing a hooded sweatshirt and sunglasses at the poker table.
One can not say he is one of the greatest achievers in the poker industry, but his attitude to the game is a unique one, and that is why he is on this list. During the game, Laak focuses on his gaming moves, rather then his situation inside the game. Sometimes he allows himself to “go for the win” but usually it is not his goal. The goal for Laak is the game and the quality of his moves. And for that he is in my top five poker players list.
