Roulette is one of the oldest and most popular games played in modern casinos. The American roulette is divided in to 38 slots, numbered 1 through 36, plus 0 and 00. A European roulette wheel has the numbers 1-36, plus a slot for zero. If you play black-red, odd/even or high-low, you must place the roulette table minimum for each and every bet. The zero and double zero numbers are in green and on opposite sides of the wheel, the colors and odd/even numbers alternate, and the numbers themselves are randomly distributed. The roulette chips are worthless at the other tables in the same casino, so do not bother trying to stack them under your blackjack chips or anything foolish like that. If the roulette ball lands in the 0 slot, the game ends and all players receive half their original bets back. Roulette is not as popular in United States casinos as it is in Europe. Roulette is a banking game: all bets are placed against the house. 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.
