Roulette is a casino game named after the French word meaning small wheels. In the game, the player can choose between a single number, a variety of numbers, red or black, whether the number is odd or even, or whether the number is high (19-36) or low (1) bet -18). To determine the winning numbers and colors, the dealer rotates a wheel in one direction and then rotates a ball in the opposite direction around a slanted circular orbit around the outer edge of the wheel. The ball eventually loses power, passes through a baffle area, then falls on the steering wheel, into the 37 (single zero French/European roulette) or 38 (double zero American roulette) color and number pockets in the wheel one of.
