Roulette is a glamorous and exciting game that's easy to play. 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. Before you can place your bet on a roulette table you first have to get special roulette chips from the dealer at the table. 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. The game of roulette starts after the players have made most of their bets by placing them on the numbered layout. The dealer spins a small ball in the opposite direction of the spinning roulette wheel. Winning bets are determined by the numbered slot in which the ball comes to rest. 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". 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.
