How to Play Roulette:
Up to 8 players can play the game of roulette. As the game starts, players have to place bets on a number, a range of numbers, the colors red or black, or whether the number is odd or even. To determine the winning number and color, a croupier, also known as a dealer, spins a wheel in one direction, then spins a ball in the opposite direction around the circumference of the roulette wheel. The wheel is a black and red colored wheel with numbers positioned around its circumference. The ball falls on to the wheel and into one of 37 (in European roulette) or 38 (in American roulette) colored and numbered pockets on the wheel. The player who wins is the one who correctly predicts where the ball will land on the wheel.
