The number of pockets depends on whether players choose an American or European version of the game.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe American version has two green pockets labeled 0 and 00 as well as 36 red and black pockets numbered 1\u201336. The European version has a single green pocket labeled 0 and 36 red and black pockets numbered 1\u201336. The European version of the game gives players slightly better odds than the American one because it has one less pocket.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe game starts with players placing a bet on one of the many betting options. Roulette bets range in scope from single number bets, to groups of numbers, to wagers on black and red, and more. Once the dealer closes betting, the dealer will spin the wheel and drop a small ball into the roulette wheel. When the ball lands in a pocket and the wheel stops, the dealer pays out all the winning bets.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n
