Roulette Rules: The Object of the Game
The object of the game according to rules of roulette is to guess on which number or color or sets of numbers the ball will land. You can bet on a particular number the ball will drop on or you can bet on whether the number is odd or even, or whether a slot the ball will land in is black or red. The variety of bets you can make is large but there are two main types of bets: "inside" bets, which take place on the main grid of numbers on the inside of the table, and your "outside" bets, which take place on the outside edge of the table.
