The player simply places his/her wager and waits for the ball to stop rolling, unlike a game such as blackjack or poker which requires much thought and strategy. The players can bet until the dealer puts his hands up and says 'No more bets!'
The dealer (also known as the croupier) stands behind the table, which also contains the wheel and the betting area, or layout as it is also known.
Roulette tables typically seat from 1 - 7 people.
