How to Play Roulette

Roulette is a fairly simple game to play. In Roulette you place your bet on a number, row, line, or adjacent numbers. The standard Roulette wheel has 40 spots from 1 to 38 including 0 and 00. After bets are placed the Roulette wheel is spun and the ball is dropped rolling in the opposite direction of the wheels rotation. The ball will then stop in a number slot and that number is the winning number.
