How to Play Roulette 
Roulette is named after a French word, which means "small wheel". To determine the winning number in a roulette game, a croupier would spin the wheel in one direction, and spins the ball in an opposite direction around the circumference of the wheel. The ball would eventually lose momentum and land on one of the 37 numbers (European roulette - single zero) or 38 numbers (American Roulette - double zero).
The Roulette wheel's pockets alernate between black and red and numbered from 1 to 36. There is also an additional pocket which is coloured green and numbered 0. Only In American roulette, there is a second green pocket marked 00. The sequence of the numbers of the wheel in which are ordered are labelled below in a clockwise manner:
Single-zero wheel: 0-32-15-19-4-21-2-25-17-34-6-27-13-36-11-30-8-23-10-5-24-16-33-1-20-14-31-9-22-18-29-7-28-12-35-3-26
Double-zero wheel: 0-28-9-26-30-11-7-20-32-17-5-22-34-15-3-24-36-13-1-00-27-10-25-29-12-8-19-31-18-6-21-33-16-4-23-35-14-2
