Roulette was developed around the turn of the century and is one of the most popular gambling games in the world. After all bets are placed, the croupier spins the wheel in one direction and tosses the small ball in the opposite direction. Roulette uses a special wheel, a betting layout, and chips. Roulette players can bet on one, two, three, four or six numbers; or they can choose to bet red or black; high or low; odd or even. The sections are numbered from 1 to 36, (half red and half black, half odd and half even) plus a green section marked 0. The marked area of roulette is called the game layout, and you may place bets on any particular number, any 4 adjacent numbers, a column or a dozen bet. When all bets are placed, the croupier spins the wheel and a ball bounces from slot to slot until finally coming to rest in one of them. If the roulette ball lands in the 0 slot, the game ends and all players receive half their original bets back. When the roulette ball comes to rest in one of the slots, the dealer will call out the winning number and settle all bets. The roulette ball falls into one of the wheel's numbered compartments which determines the winning number. Roulette does not move at a quick pace, it is for a more relaxed crowd than you are likely to find at the craps table. When you finish beating the house at roulette, you will have to ask the dealer to "color out" for you, the dealer will then take your chips and give you casino checks which you may then use on other games or cash out at the cashier.
