Reading this article beginners will quickly learn how to play casino roulette, a very exciting and simple game to play.
When you play roulette games you will discover that there are two types of roulette wheel. One is the European roulette wheel that has pockets numbered from 1 to 36 alternating between red and black and a green pocket numbered 0. The American roulette wheel has added a second green pocket numbered 00.
The pockets are not in numerical order on the wheel and there are instances of consecutive numbers being the same color offering the players a large variety of betting options.
The goal when you play roulette games is to guess which number will come up after the dealer throws the ball on the roulette wheel. He throws the ball in an opposite direction of the spinning wheel and after the ball falls in a pocket he will announce the winning number by dropping a marker on the winning number on the table layout and after will pay the winning bets.
