There are 2 types of roulette, American and French (aka European roulette) The roulette wheel consists of slots or pockets numbered from 1 to 36, which are either red or black. In roulette game the bank pays or collects from each bettor. You usually find most tables in Las Vegas with a minimum roulette bet of $1 - $3. In Roulette the bets are placed on an area of the table marked with separate boxes containing individual numbers. 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. Playing roulette you should give some indication to the dealer as to what value of chip denomination you prefer to be provided with. The winning roulette number is marked by the Dealer. Unlike other casino games, roulette rounds go by quickly - just a spin of the wheel and the game is over. Once the roulette ball has found its slot, the dealer will call out the winning number and place a marker on that number's spot on the layout. Wait til the dealer says "place your bets" before putting any roulette chips down for the next round. 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.
