A huge attraction at casinos across the country, the classic roulette wheel remains one of the most exciting casino games available. The roulette wheel consists of slots or pockets numbered from 1 to 36, which are either red or black. An American roulette wheel has an extra slot; 00. The French roulette wheel is divided into 37 slots, numbered 1 through 36, plus 0, there is no 00. In Roulette the bets are placed on an area of the table marked with separate boxes containing individual numbers. Each roulette player is assigned different color of chip, allowing the dealer differentiate bets and match them to the right players. 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. In roulette you can place bets until the ball leaves the track and falls onto the spun wheel. 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 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.
