This is a classic game of chance, where players gamble on which numbered slot a small spinning ball will land. There is American Roulette, with 38 slots on the wheel and European Roulette with 36 slots. American roulette has 38 slots because it has both the “0” and “00” slot. In European roulette there is only the “0” slot which a player slightly better odds. Betting in Roulette is either an Inside Bet or an Outside Bet. Numbers are either black or red. The skill comes in knowing in which way to bet, so that the risk is spread on every spin.
