One
of the reasons Roulette is so popular in every casino is that it's a simple game:
just place your bet or bets on the numbers on the table, click SPIN, and see if
you're number came up. In addition to betting straight up on a specific number,
you can increase your odds by betting on a group, and the payoffs change accordingly.

The American roulette wheel contains 38 numbers: 1-36, 0 and 00. The European
roulette wheel contains only 37 numbers: 1-36 and only one 0. Half of the numbers
1-36 are red and the other half is black. The zeros are green.
