Roulette Rules
The roulette wheel is marked with numbers 1 through 36, with an additional
"0" and "00". The numbers are alternately colored
red and black, and the "0" and "00" are green.
The roulette layout is divided into different sections - individual
numbers and group bets. Bets made on individual or adjacent numbers
or small groups of numbers are referred to as 'inside bets' whilst the
bets covering groups of 12 or 18 numbers (e.g. red, odd, etc.) are known
as 'outside bets'.
