Roulette is a popular casino game that involves a spinning wheel and a ball. The basic rules are simple: players place bets on where they think the ball will land, such as on a specific number, color, or group of numbers. The wheel has numbered pockets from 0 to 36, with variations like American roulette including an additional 00 pocket. 
To play, first, place your chips on the betting table. Bets can be inside bets （on specific numbers） or outside bets （on broader categories like red/black or odd/even）. Once all bets are placed, the dealer spins the wheel and releases the ball. When the ball comes to rest in a pocket, winning bets are paid out according to the odds.
Key rules include: only bets placed before the spin are valid, and the house edge varies by version （e.g., European roulette has a lower edge than American）. Always check table limits and practice responsible gambling. |
