Roulette is a game of pure chance and each single spin is unrelated to any previous spins. Roulette is played on a table featuring a betting area and the roulette wheel. The American version of roulette has a single zero and a double zero versus the French version with just a single zero. You usually find most tables in Las Vegas with a minimum roulette bet of $1 - $3. 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 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. All roulette players place their bets. 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. The winning roulette number is marked by the Dealer. 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.
