How to play roulette?

Roulette rules are among the easiest in the table games category. Players bet the desired amount of chips (regardless of others) on the chosen area of the felt until the croupier announces that the time for betting is over. Nothing can be changed after this announcement. The croupier then takes the ball and spins it around the roulette wheel, releasing it closer to the edge. As the ball loses momentum, it moves through the numbers until it eventually stops at one. The person who spins the roulette wheel then tallies up all the bets and pays out all the winnings from the bank of chips in the croupier's possession (the winning person always gets back what he or she has bet and gets an additional amount of chips equal to the number of times more, depending on the method of betting chosen). A new round begins.
