The game is played on a table containing a betting area, and the roulette wheel. The wheel has 38 different pockets in which the ball could fall, numbered 0 to 37. The betting area is divided into small areas, representing the numbers and colors on the wheel.
Players bet by placing their casino chips on bet areas into which they believe the ball will fall.
The betting area is divided into 2 main areas, namely inside bets and outside bets.
Inside bets are found on the inside of the table and are labeled with a specific number. The outside bets are along the outer sides of the betting area and offer players an alternative to betting on the actual numbers, such as betting on any number from 1 to 12, or if the winning number is red or black; even or odd etc.
The game starts by the dealer spinning the roulette wheel and the ball in opposite directions, and then calling ‘no bets more please'.
Once the ball has come to rest in one of the pockets a marker is placed on the winning number and all the bets that were at that maker are paid out according to the odds.
All losing bets are collected by the roulette dealer.
