How does a ball stop?

The roulette ball stays in motion due to centrefugal force. Since the ball is moving fast it "wants" to just go straight (Newton's 1st law) but the contact force of the metal track exerts an inward force that keeps it moving in a circle. Eventually, as the ball loses momentum, the force of gravity will be greater and the ball will then fall into a pocket.

Does rolling soccer ball needs more force to stop than a rolling bowling ball?

Any amount of force can stop either kind of ball. But a greater force is required to stop a bowling ball than to stop a soccer ball IN THE SAME TIME, because the bowling ball has more mass, and therefore more momentum and more kinetic energy.
