The Roulette wheel layout used in Europe and in America generally not the same. The United States adopted their own version of roulette, but the French version is still played time to time in Las Vegas. The roulette wheel consists 38 compartments with numbers from 1 to 36, which are colored black and red, and two green compartments with 0 and 00. The wheel has numbered pockets ranging from 0 to 36 - and 00 in American Style Roulette. Before you get confused, standard American roulette rules have the table use different chips than other table games at the same casino. 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. Roulette chips have no value at other tables. The dealer spins the roulette wheel in one direction and the small ball in the opposite one. If the dreaded 00 is spun, the House keeps all the bets. Even if you play it safe and bet red/black or even/odd, casino roulette is a lot of fun. Unlike other casino games, roulette rounds go by quickly - just a spin of the wheel and the game is over. " You may place roulette bets on the spin until the Dealer announces "No more bets". 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.
