Roulette Facts

Roulette is a games that is played with a rotating wheel that has cut outs for numbers to fit in that are set randomly that range from 0 to 36 and has a double zero once the wheel is spun a ball is sent spinning in the opposite direction, the ball starts to slow down as it passes over the grooves and settles in one of the 38 slots placed around the circular wheel, the oject of this is to predict which pocket the ball will land in and to place a bet on that number, if your number comes in then you win and can extra payouts for side bets, the even numbers are black and the odd numbers are red so you are able to bet on the colour as well.

All of the slots of which the ball falls in to are the same same width and height for a equal chance of landing in each one and that the game stays fair, the same applies for the direction of the ball and and wheel to which they are spun as they travel in opposite directions to each other it makes it near enough impossible to predict what the outcome is going to be with other designs the styles for the numbers vary making different obsticles for the ball to go over to which makes the number that it falls on more random and even harder to predict.
