Roulette is a game of chance and consists of a Roulette wheel and table. It is played in virtually every gambling house in North and South America and in Europe, where it is even more popular. Roulette uses a special wheel, a betting layout, and chips. Roulette players often choose the bets they like to make and stick with them for a series of spins. Before you can place your bet on a roulette table you first have to get special roulette chips from the dealer at the table. You could place five 1 dollar bets on five completely different inside bets (specific numbers or combinations of numbers) The game of roulette starts after the players have made most of their bets by placing them on the numbered layout. The roulette dealer will exchange your chips for regular chips when you are done playing. If the dreaded 00 is spun, the House keeps all the bets. Numbers 1-18 are considered the lows numbers, 19-36 are the highs. 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. After all payoffs have been made, the Dealer will announce "Place your bets. " You may place roulette bets on the spin until the Dealer announces "No more bets". You should remember to exchange the colored non-value Roulette chips for valued gaming chips prior to leaving a particular Roulette 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.
