How the Game is played
A wood-and-chrome, bowl-shaped wheel with blocks numbered 0 to 36 is
spun in one direction. (The American wheel has an additional number: the
Double-Zero (00), and it can be spun only in one direction, whereas the
French wheel can be spun in both directions.) The numbers 1 thru 36 are
evenly split between red and black, while 0 and 00 are green pockets. A
small ivory ball is spun around the outer rim of the wheel in the opposite
direction. As the ball slows, it drops into one of the pockets of the wheel.
You bet on which pocket the ball will drop into. There are a large number
of bets allowed in casino roulette.

En Prison
When an 1-to-1 wager is made, and an 0 comes up, your bets are moved to
another line and "held enprisoned", waiting for the next spin:
If the next spin wins you get your money back, if not not. Not all casinos
offer this rule!
Surrender
When an 1-to-1 wager is made, and an 0 or 00 comes up, you lose only half
of your bets. Not all casinos offer this rule!
Payouts
The casino has to pay for rent, salaries, free drinks, air conditioning,
lights etc. The difference between the payout and true odds is what pays
for all those expenses. The trick is to play low odds bets.
