Guide to Playing Roulette

Roulette consists of a wheel with 38 numbers, including the numbers 1-36, 0, and 00.
The numbers on the wheel alternate pairs of odd numbers with pairs of even numbers and alternate between black and red. The two zeros are green in color and are placed at opposite ends of the wheel.

The object of the game is to determine which number or color the ball will ultimately land on.
In Roulette the player places a bet on a number, color, or group of numbers on the Roulette table.
The more numbers they bet, the lesser the odds and therefore winnings. The dealer will always announce "No More Bets" when he or she is about to spin the wheel.
The dealer spins the roulette wheel in one direction, while rolling a ball into the wheel in the opposite direction and winnings are determined by the slot on the Roulette wheel where the ball finally stops.
The amount of the payoff depends on how the bet was placed.

There are two types of Roulette bets:

*inside bets and outside bets.
