A huge attraction at casinos across the country, the classic roulette wheel remains one of the most exciting casino games available. The Roulette wheel has numbered pockets ranging from 00 to 36. The standard American casino roulette wheel contains two green slots: 0 and 00 (many European wheels eliminate the 00, which creates more favorable odds for players) Roulette players can bet on one, two, three, four or six numbers; or they can choose to bet red or black; high or low; odd or even. The sections are numbered from 1 to 36, (half red and half black, half odd and half even) plus a green section marked 0. The zero and double zero numbers are in green and on opposite sides of the wheel, the colors and odd/even numbers alternate, and the numbers themselves are randomly distributed. The wheel determines the outcome of a roulette game. Once the bets have been placed on the roulette table, the wheel starts spinning and a small ball is released on to the wheel in the opposite direction of the spinning wheel. If the dreaded 00 is spun, the House keeps all the bets. The roulette ball falls into one of the wheel's numbered compartments which determines the winning number. Unlike other casino games, roulette rounds go by quickly - just a spin of the wheel and the game is over. When you finish beating the house at roulette, you will have to ask the dealer to "color out" for you, the dealer will then take your chips and give you casino checks which you may then use on other games or cash out at the cashier.
