Roulette players make bets by placing chips in various locations on the table. The Roulette wheel has numbered pockets ranging from 00 to 36. The American version of roulette has a single zero and a double zero versus the French version with just a single zero. A European roulette wheel has the numbers 1-36, plus a slot for zero. Roulette is a fast moving, simple and exciting game offering many different types of bets and payoffs. You could place five 1 dollar bets on five completely different inside bets (specific numbers or combinations of numbers) The wheel determines the outcome of a roulette game. In American roulette the addition of the 00 section greatly increases the odds in favor of the house. Roulette is not as popular in United States casinos as it is in Europe. When you get your roulette chips they will not be marked with a denomination, you choose it, and all of the chips will reflect that worth - the dealer keeps track of that by associating the amount and color with a 'lammer'. Unlike other casino games, roulette rounds go by quickly - just a spin of the wheel and the game is over. If you’re feeling lucky, you can pack in plenty of casino play at a roulette wheel in a short time. Wait til the dealer says "place your bets" before putting any roulette chips down for the next round. 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.
