Goal
The goal of the
game of roulette is to
correctly predict which number a ball lands
on when it is spun around a wheel consisting
of at least thirty-seven different numbered
slots.
Outcomes
If you are able to correctly
predict the outcomes for where the
roulette ball lands, then you are going
to get paid based on a certain pay scale
depending on exactly how precise your bet
was.If you are unable to correctly predict
the outcomes for where the ball lands on the
roulette wheel, then you are simply not
going to get paid and you will lose the bet
that you placed before the spin was carried
out.
Set Up
The set up of the roulette table is
quite simple to grasp actually and that is
perhaps what makes it so attractive. The
table and the wheel are set up differently
depending on the specific type of roulette
that is being played, with European roulette
having the numbers 1-36 and 0 present on the
table and wheel whereas American roulette
has the numbers 1-36, 0 and 00 present on
the table. The numbers 1-36 are arranged in
a grid of twelve rows and three columns,
with the zero and double zero numbers making
their way to the top of that grid as
extraneous numbers in relation to it.

player making a bet on a specific number or
