A roulette game is strictly random and any hope of actually getting an edge at the game died when the new (now relatively old) computers took over the wheels.
One of the most important tips you could consider when playing roulette as a casino newbie is sticking to the table minimum and focusing on only playing the outside bets. Bet on either black or red for every new spin and you will enjoy a 1:1 payout while covering 18/38 potential combos.
