How Many Seats Are There in a Roulette Table?

A roulette table usually has room for six to eight players. There are three columns of numbers on the felt layout, each containing twelve numbers. Players may bet on any single number, or they may bet on a combination of numbers.

The inside bets are the ones that can be made directly on a specific number or a small group of them. The outside bets are the ones that cover a larger section of the Roulette wheel.

Roulette is a casino game named after the French word meaning little wheel. In the game, players may choose to place bets on either a single number, various groupings of numbers, the colors red or black, whether the number is odd or even, or if the numbers are high (19–36) or low (1–18).

To determine the winning number and color, a croupier spins a wheel in one direction, then spins a ball in the opposite direction around a tilted circular track running around the circumference of the wheel. The ball eventually loses momentum and falls onto the wheel and into one of 37 (in French/European Roulette) or 38 (in American Roulette) colored and numbered pockets on the wheel.
