Premise:
The game of Roulette is played by spinning a small ball on a round wheel with thirty-eight numbered slots from 1 to 36 which are colored black and red, and two slots with 0 and 00. {Most casinos have 00 on their wheels to increase the odds to their advantage. Always try to play at a roulette table that has only one zero.) When the wheel stops, the ball comes to rest in one of these slots. The object of Roulette is to correctly predict the slot in which the ball will land. By predicting the right number, you earn a payoff on your bet. The size of the payoff depends on how the bet was placed.

Before you can place your bet on a roulette table you first have to get special roulette chips from the dealer at the table. Every player has different colored chips which allows the roulette dealer to keep track of the players bets.The game starts after the players have made most of their bets by placing them on the numbered roulette table. The dealer then spins the wheel in one direction and the small ball in the opposite direction. You can place bets until the ball leaves the track and falls onto the spun wheel. The dealer will then say "No more Bets!" . The ball then falls into one of the wheel's numbered compartments which determines the winning number. After the wheel stops the dealer will place a marker on the roulette table on the spot of the winning number. The Dealer then pays each player who placed a bet on the winning number.

The short lines of three numbers each are called rows or streets on the board, while the longer lines, each holding twelve, are called columns . The first six types of bets are all made on the numbered space or on the lines between them and are called inside bets , while the last three types are made on the special boxes below and to the right of the board and are called outside bets .
