In Roulette the bets are placed on an area
of the table marked with separate boxes, with each box containing
individual numbers. This marked area is called the game layout,
and you may place bets on any particular number, any 4 adjacent
numbers, a column or a dozens bet. The wheel is used to determine
the outcome of a game of Roulette.
Once the bets have been placed on the table, the wheel is
set to start spinning and a small - usually metal or ivory
- ball is spun onto the wheel in the opposite direction to
that of the spinning wheel. The ball will lose speed and eventually
stop in one of the numbered pockets in the Roulette wheel.
The number the ball stops on is the winning number.

How to Play Roulette
There are two basic steps to follow to play a game of Roulette.
First you must decide on the numbers, or groups of numbers,
that you want to bet on.. You can place the chips on individual
numbers or on the borders shared by two or more numbers..
Once you have placed your bet click the Spin button to start
the game. The Roulette wheel will spin and the ball is then
spun onto the wheel in the opposite direction to that of the
spinning wheel. It will soon come to a stop in one of the
numbered pockets on the wheel.
If the ball lands on a number that falls within the range
of, or meets, any of your bets then you have won.
