French for 'small wheel' Roulette is very much a gambling game. Depending on which version, the roulette wheel has either thirty-seven or thirty-eight individually numbered pockets, each of which it is equally possible for the ball to land. The ball itself is thrown onto the revolving roulette wheel by the croupier. The whole numbers on the wheel run from one to thirty-six. Each number is colored red or black, alternatively. The wheel also contains the number zero (and in American roulette it also contains a double-zero). This pocket (or pockets) is colored green.

Payouts for winning bets placed on single, whole numbers is at a rate of thirty-five to one. This is then raised to thirty-six to one as the bet itself is also returned. However, in roulette, players are not limited to betting on the probability of single, whole numbers. Indeed, they are open to making bets on several numbers and combinations of numbers, odds or evens, or colors. However, the payout odds for these options vary.
