For a first-time roulette player:
Bet on outside bets (red/black, even/odd, high/low) for higher winning chances.
Set a budget and bet small to prolong playtime.
Avoid progressive betting systems.
Familiarize yourself with the rules and types of bets.
Play European roulette if possible for a lower house edge.
The real trick to roulette is to get lucky, then quit while you're ahead. Every spin has a 1 in 37 (for European) or 1 in 38 (for American) chance of landing in a given pocket.
