Where can one find roulette?

The Scoop On: Roulette

First off, a player places a bet in a table marked off with numbers from one to thirty six. Then, a small ball is spun around the wheel, the purpose of which is to hit a certain compartment in the wheel. The compartment on which the ball will rest at the end determines how much or who exactly wins the game. There may be categories: even or odd numbers, red or black color, and between 1, 18 or 19 and 36.
Another variation of roulette is when the wheel is set up and what the players do is spin the wheel. The wheel features pins that point out to the prize or what the player will lose.
