The game of European Roulette is played by spinning a small ball on a round wheel. The wheel contains thirty seven numbered pockets. The spinning ball lands in one of the numbered pockets after the wheel stops. The object of European Roulette is to correctly predict the slot in which the ball will stop. If you predict the number of the section in which the ball stops, you win. The size of your winning depends on how the bet was placed.
