American roulette is played with a wheel containing 38 numbered slots (1 to 36, plus a 0 and a 00), a ball, and a layout on which the player may place a bet (or bets) covering either a single number or groups of numbers. The ball is spun around the wheel, and will come to rest in one of the numbered slots, indicating the winning number. The player wins by correctly guessing which number will win, and is paid in accordance with the 'PAYTABLE' given below, based on how many chips he or she has covering all or part of the winning number.
