roulette

Roulette is a casino game named after the French word meaning little wheel which is thought to originate from the Italian game Biribi. The player is able to place bets on one or on a variety of numbers and also on the colors black and red. They also have the option to bet on whether the numbers are odd or even or high (19-36) or low (18-18). The player spins the wheel one direction. Then, the ball is spun in the reverse direction. The ball eventually loses momentum after passing through an area of deflectors, and falls onto the wheel before falling into one of thirty-seven (single-zero, French or European style roulette) or thirty-eight (double-zero, American style roulette) or thirty-nine (triple-zero, "Sands Roulette")[1] the colored and numbered pockets on the wheel. The winnings are then paid out to those who have placed a winning bet.
