Roulette is a game of chance and consists of a Roulette wheel and table. Roulette is a unique table game as it has a mechanical device as the main element of the game. An American roulette wheel has an extra slot; 00. The wheel is divided into 38 (American) or 37 (European) sections, each of which has walls to hold a small ball where it lands after the wheel is spun. The ball stops in one of the numbered pockets of the Roulette wheel. Each Player has a different colored set of non-value Roulette chips, determined by his/her purchase. All roulette players place their bets. 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. When you get your roulette chips they will not be marked with a denomination, you choose it, and all of the chips will reflect that worth - the dealer keeps track of that by associating the amount and color with a 'lammer'. Losing roulette bets are collected and winning bets are paid. 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". 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.
