Roulette
Roulette is a straight statistical game. For the most part one gets pretty fair odds.
How to play:
The wheel is divided into 38 sections in the USA or 37 sections in Europe. Each section can hold the ball. The sections are numbered from 1 to 36 and alternate between red and black. Except for the green sections. In the US there are two green sections the "0" and the "00". In Europe there is only the one green section on the roulette wheel the "0".
Numbers 1 - 18 are considered the lows and 19-36 are considered the highs.
Players either bet a number, a group of numbers, or color. After all the bets are placed the dealer tosses the ball along the wheels rim. The ball will come to rest in the winning number. The dealer then pays or collects the money from each bettor.
You can place a bet on every spin. You must bet the minimum of the table and can bet up to the maximum.

The following are the roulette odds on the standard roulette table:
- Winning bet on red, black, low 1 to 18, high 19 - 36, even, or odd pays even money.
