The Wheel
The game of
American Roulette is played on a wheel which consists of thirty-eight slots,
each with its own number. The numbers on a Roulette wheel are 1-36, 0, and 00.
The numbers alternate pairs of odd numbers with pairs of even numbers. The
numbers also alternate between black and red. Both the 0 and 00 slots are
green. A dealer, or croupier spins the wheel in one direction and then rolls a
small ball in the other direction. The ball then drops into one of the slots as
it begins to slow down.
The Table
The table is designed so that the numbers, not including 0 and 00, are lined up
into three columns, each of twelve numbers, the first row is 1,2,3; the second
row is 4,5,6 and so on. The rest of the table is devoted to the myriad bets the
game entails. Betting is broken down into two major categories, inside bets and
outside bets. There is no limit to the number of bets one can play. |

Straight bets
This is betting
that one particular number on the wheel will come up. This bet is done by
placing a chip on top of the number on which you want to bet. If that number
wins, the payoff is 35 to 1.
Split bets
This is betting
that one of two numbers that lie next to each other on the table will win.
Placing a chip on the line that separates two numbers does this. You win if the
ball lands on either number. The payoff is 17 to 1.
