How Many Balls Are in Roulette?

A game of Roulette is played with a wheel that has 37 or 38 pockets. These pockets are numbered from 1 to 36, and there is also a pocket for 0 (or 00). The pockets are alternately colored red and black, with the exception of 0 and 00, which are green.

Players can bet on any single number, including 0 and 00, or on a combination of numbers. They may also bet on red or black, or on even or odd numbers.

The croupier (or dealer) spins the wheel in one direction and then rolls a small ball in the opposite direction around the circumference of the wheel. The ball eventually loses momentum and falls into one of the numbered pockets.

PRO TIP:Roulette is played with a wheel containing 37 pockets (in European roulette) or 38 pockets (in American roulette). The wheel holds a total of 37 or 38 balls, depending on the variation of roulette being played.

The winning number is the one that corresponds to the pocket into which the ball falls.

If you bet on a single number and that number comes up, you win 35 times your original bet. If you bet on a combination of numbers and one of those numbers comes up, you win 17 times your original bet.

And if you bet on red or black, even or odd, you win 1 time your original bet.
