Roulette is a popular casino game that involves a spinning wheel and a ball. Players place bets on where the ball will land, such as on a specific number, color, or group of numbers. The wheel has numbered pockets from 0 to 36, with colors alternating between red and black, and a green pocket for 0 （and sometimes 00 in American roulette）. 
To play, first, place your chips on the betting table to indicate your bet. Common bets include straight bets （on a single number）, split bets （on two adjacent numbers）, and outside bets like red/black or odd/even. After all bets are placed, the dealer spins the wheel and releases the ball. When the ball comes to rest in a pocket, winning bets are paid out according to the odds. For example, a straight bet typically pays 35 to 1.
It is important to understand the different versions of roulette, such as European and American, as the rules and house edge can vary. Always check the specific rules at your casino before playing. |
