Roulette is played by rolling a small ball in one direction inside a wheel that spins in the opposite direction. After bouncing around inside the wheel for awhile the ball will come to rest in a slot on the wheel. This slot contains the winning number. Winning or losing at Roulette depends how you have bet prior to the spin. The game is one of pure luck as it is imposable to predict which number will win.
