Roulette is one of the most popular games played in modern Casinos. It is also one of the oldest Casino games. Roulette is somewhat unique amongst modern table games in that it employs a mechanical device as the key element of the game. The mechanical device is the large and very distinct Roulette wheel that is mounted horizontally on the end of the table. The hollow of the wheel has numbered pockets ranging from 0 to 36 - and 00 in American Style Roulette. In Roulette the bets are placed on an area of the table marked with separate boxes, with each box containing individual numbers. This marked area is called the game layout, and you may place bets on any particular number, any 4 adjacent numbers, a column or a dozens bet.

The wheel is used to determine the outcome of a game of Roulette. Once the bets have been placed on the table, the wheel is set to start spinning and a small - usually metal or ivory - ball is spun onto the wheel in the opposite direction to that of the spinning wheel. The ball will lose speed and eventually stop in one of the numbered pockets in the Roulette wheel. The number the ball stops on is the winning number. Roulette is a very popular gambling game. In this game, a croupier turns a round roulette wheel that has 37 or 38 numbered pockets in which a ball must land, and the ball will land in one of these pockets every time. The main pockets are number from 1 to 36 and these pockets of the wheel will alternate with black and red, starting with a red number 1. On this wheel, there are also two more components, one with a 0 and the other with a 00. While playing the game of roulette, if a player bets on a single number and wins the payouts are 35 to 1, which can be a large amount of money. The initial bet is returned and so in total it is multiplied by 36, if you are betting a dollar, you will win thirty-six dollars. If a player bets ten dollars, a return of three hundred sixty dollars will be the payout. When playing this game, you can bet on numbers, combinations, ranges, and colors.
