Roulette translated literally means "small wheel" and is one of the oldest casino games played today. The main goal of the roulette is to bet on the slot where the roulette ball falls. The American roulette is divided in to 38 slots, numbered 1 through 36, plus 0 and 00. The French roulette wheel is divided into 37 slots, numbered 1 through 36, plus 0, there is no 00. 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 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. Roulette chips have no value at other tables. Once the bets have been placed on the roulette table, the wheel starts spinning and a small ball is released on to the wheel in the opposite direction of the spinning wheel. If the dreaded 00 is spun, the House keeps all the bets. Roulette does not move at a quick pace, it is for a more relaxed crowd than you are likely to find at the craps table. 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". 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.
