roulette

Roulette is a game played in casinos is named in honor of the French word that means "little wheel" which is most likely taken from the Italian game Biribi. A player can place bets on one or several numbers in addition to the color red and black. Also, they have the option to bet on whether the numbers are odd or even or (19-36) or low (18-18). To identify the winning number an croupier turns a wheel in one direction, then spins a ball that is spinning in the opposite direction around a tilted circular track running across the edge of the wheel. The ball eventually loses its momentum as it passes through an area of deflectors before falling onto the wheel before falling into one of thirty-seven (single-zero, French or European style roulette) or thirty-eight (double-zero, American style roulette) or thirty-nine (triple-zero, "Sands Roulette")[1] numbers and colored pockets of the wheel. Anyone who has placed a successful wager will receive the winnings.
