I don't know what the person above me is talking about, but a roulette wheel has 36 numbers, plus a zero, and depending where your playing sometimes there is a double zero. 18 of the 36 actual numbers are red, the other 18 are black. zero and double zero are green. players may bet on many different things including:

After you place your bet the dealer spins a ball on the roulette wheel. If you hit what you bet you get paid, if you don't you lose your cash.
Example of one spin on a roulette wheel.

John Bet $30 on black, and $20 on 36.
Brandon bet $50 on 2nd twelve.
Steve bet 100$ on red.

Ball spins, hits 36 red.

John loses his black bet, but wins $720 from his 36 bet.
Brandon loses his bet of 2nd twelve.
Steve Wins $200 back from his bet on red. (Including his original $100 that he bet.)
