The whole thing weighs upwards of a hundred pounds, at nearly 3 feet in diameter. There are 36 numbers, which are divided among red or black pockets. The pocket is an area, in which the ball can land. The Roulette wheel also has on or two green pockets. The green pockets has numbers 0 and 00 or only 00, depending on the kind of Roulette. The numbers are not distributed in a random fashion. A balance between red and black, high and low, and odd and even is sought by the wheel makers. For every number on the wheel, directly across from it is the next highest even number. Black and red alternate, pairs of even numbers alternate with pairs of odd numbers (with 0 and 00 exceptions). This roulette wheel design is standard within the industry. When all bets are made the dealer spins the wheel counterclockwise and then the ball is released along the track. As the wheel loses velocity the ball is pulled down off of the track and bounces around until it settles into a pocket. There are a million small buffers and bumps to ensure that the ball is tossed around a good bit randomly before it finds a home.

And what if you are bored one night, and want to play some roulette? Roulette is a wheel game. The wheel of the roulette is spinned on an axis which is placed in a bowl. The wheel is divided into slots: American roulette wheel into 38, European - into 37. There are black and red numbers. The 0 or 00 are green. Up to 8 people can play roulette at the same time. Accordind to the rules the croupier spins the wheel of roulette in one direction and then rolls the ball around the edge of the wheel in the opposite direction. After the ball had fallen at one of the slots and stopped, the croupier announces the winners. The aim of roulette is to guess the number of the slot in which the ball will stop and to make the right bet. Before you start game, you buy chips from the croupier, and roulette chips are almost always different from all other chips in the casino. Each player has chips of his own color that's why the croupier knows who to pay off at the end of each spin. A player is allowed to bet until the croupier announces, "No more bets. "After the ball had stopped,the croupier puts a marker on top of the winning number on the table. The marker is placed on top of the chips, if there are bets on that number. Then all losing bets are swept off the table before the winning bets are paid off.
