Roulette is played simply by spinning a small ball clockwise around a wheel that spins counter-clockwise. When the wheel stops spinning, the ball drops into one of the numbered slots. The object of the game is to correctly predict the slot in which the ball will land. If you predict the correct slot/number, you will earn a payoff that is dependent on the amount and type of bet that was placed. These bets are covered in detail in the rules below, as we continue the easy steps to help you learn to play roulette.
