Roulette is one of the most popular casino games worldwide. The game involves a spinning wheel with numbered pockets and a small ball. Players place bets on where they think the ball will land when the wheel stops spinning.
The roulette wheel contains numbers from 0 to 36, with European roulette having a single zero and American roulette having both single and double zero pockets. Players can place various types of bets including straight bets on single numbers, split bets on two numbers, street bets on three numbers, and outside bets on red/black, odd/even, or high/low numbers. 
To play roulette, first exchange your money for casino chips. Then place your bets on the roulette table layout before the dealer announces no more bets. The dealer spins the wheel and releases the ball in the opposite direction. When the ball lands in a numbered pocket, the dealer places a marker on the winning number and pays out winning bets according to the payout odds.
Different bet types offer different payout odds. A straight bet on a single number pays 35:1, while an even-money bet on red/black pays 1:1. Understanding the odds and house edge is crucial for successful roulette play. |
