Roulette: most glamorous and social casino games in the world

Roulette is a casino and gambling game named after the French word meaning "small wheel". In playing the Roulette game, your objective is to pick the winning number that will appear on the Roulette Wheels.

There are actually 3 main versions of the game; French Roulette, American Roulette, and British Roulette.

In the game a croupier spins a wheel in one direction, then spins a ball in the opposite direction around a tilted circular surface running around the circumference of the wheel. The ball eventually falls onto the wheel and into one of 37 (for European Roulette) or 38 (for American Roulette) colored and numbered pockets on the wheel.

Roulette is one of the most glamorous and social casino games in the world today. Contrary to its image, the game is very simple and easy to learn and play.

There is a green pocket numbered 0, and in American Roulette there is also a second green pocket marked 00.
