The Roulette wheel has number pockets, the amount and alignment of which differ in its few variants. All number slots also alternate between black and red with only the 0 and, where applicable, the 00 being marked in green. The wheel is placed on a table next to the imprinted betting area.
All players bet against the house on the number, group of numbers or the colour they think will win. The roulette table is supervised by a dealer (also sometimes more traditionally called a "croupier") who is responsible for spinning the ball and handling the bets. Players may place bets until the dealer calls "no more bets". As the game starts, the dealer spins the wheel and sets the ball rolling along the track, above the number slots. The ball will then be left to slow down and drop into the wheel, where it will come to rest in one of the number slots. As the winning number is announced, the dealer pays the winners and collects all lost bets. A new round starts as soon as all bets are handled.
European Roulette Rules
European Roulette is the oldest and probably best known version of the game. The European Roulette wheel consists of 37 number pockets that range from 1 to 36 and alternate in colour between red and black, with the 37th pocket being the number 0, which is green in colour. The alignment of the pockets on the wheel may appear random, but is actually arranged in a mathematical order to ensure an equal chance for each number to win. Bets can be placed on the table until the dealer announces "no more bets".
American Roulette Rules
Unlike its European counterpart, an American roulette wheel consists of 38 numbered slots: numbers 1 to 36, a zero, and a double zero. All other aspects of the game are similar to European Roulette and players can bet on which number will win, as well as which colour or in which group of numbers the ball will land, to name just a few of the possible bets.
