Because рулет is a masculine inanimate noun in the singular. In Russian, the accusative singular of masculine inanimate nouns looks the same as the nominative singular.

So:

• nominative: рулет
• accusative: рулет

Even though it means a roll / roulade as the direct object, the form does not change.
