The
Basics of Roulette
by
Geoff Dempsey
Roulette
is a great game for beginners: it is exciting and easy to
learn! The roulette wheel contains 36 compartments alternating
between red and black, numbered from 1 to 36. It also has
a "0" and "00" in green. The dealer spins a small white
ball in the opposite direction of the turning wheel. When
the ball begins to fall into the wheel, the dealer will
signal no more bets. When the ball finally comes to a rest
in one of the compartments, the dealer will point out the
winning number and settle all bets accordingly.
