What Is the Probability of Roulette?

There are a total of 36 slots in a roulette wheel. Each slot has a number from 0 to 35. The dealer directs the ball to one of the 36 holes on the wheel by pressing a handle at one of the rear corners of the wheel. After the ball is placed in the hole, the dealer pulls a metal lever to release it and send it tumbling around the wheel.

The ball eventually falls into one of five spaces that are designated as either black (1 to 18), red (19 to 36), or green (37 to 45). If you are playing Roulette with real money, your chances of winning depend on how many numbers are rolled before the ball comes to rest at your chosen number.
