Roullete, or Roulette (in French: Rôle), is a casino game of chance involving a spinning wheel. Players place chips on various sections of the table, either individually or in groups of numbers. They can bet on a single number, various groupings of numbers, red or black, odd or even, or high or low. The wheel consists of a solid wooden disk slightly convex in shape with thirty-six compartments, painted alternately red and black and numbered from 1 to 36. An additional green compartment, labelled 00 on European wheels and 0 on American ones, is also included.
Bets can be placed in different ways, which are divided into two main categories: Inside bets, which have lower payouts but higher chances of winning; and Outside bets, which have larger payouts but lower odds at winning. Bets are placed on the table until the dealer announces “No more bets,” and the wheel is spun and the ball dropped. Wins are paid out immediately unless the player opts to take “en prison”—which means leaving their chips on the table for an all-or-nothing gamble on the next spin.
