Roulette

Roulette is played at a table that seats from one to ten players. The table consists of the wheel and the betting area known as the layout. The players make their wagers, the croupier spins the wheel to obtain the winning number and the players wait to see if they have won or lost.

This is one game where the player has absolutely nothing to do with picking the winning number. The spinning of the wheel and the releasing of the ball are all handled by the croupier, the player only has to decide on where to place the wager(s). The challenge in roulette is to bet in such a way as to win.

The player's objective is to correctly guess and place wagers on which number on the wheel the ball will end up on. The player places bets on the Roulette table and if lucky collects a payoff the size of which is determined by how he/she bets. The odds range from 35 to 1 down to even money, depending on the likelihood of picking the correct number.
