Roulette is a glamorous and exciting game that's easy to play. American and European roulettes have a wheel that is divided into numerous slots. The standard American casino roulette wheel contains two green slots: 0 and 00 (many European wheels eliminate the 00, which creates more favorable odds for players) Roulette players often choose the bets they like to make and stick with them for a series of spins. You could place five 1 dollar bets on five completely different inside bets (specific numbers or combinations of numbers) The wheel determines the outcome of a roulette game. The dealer spins a small ball in the opposite direction of the spinning roulette wheel. When the roulette ball comes to rest in one of the slots, the dealer will call out the winning number and settle all bets. Even if you play it safe and bet red/black or even/odd, casino roulette is a lot of fun. After the roulette wheel stops the dealer will then mark the winning number on the betting area and the bets are paid accordingly. 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.
