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.
