Roulette translated literally means "small wheel" and is one of the oldest casino games played today. The United States adopted their own version of roulette, but the French version is still played time to time in Las Vegas. The American version of roulette has a single zero and a double zero versus the French version with just a single zero. Most casinos have 00 on their roulette wheels to increase the odds to their advantage (American Roulette) Before you can place your bet on a roulette table you first have to get special roulette chips from the dealer at the table. European wheels have only the 0 green section. The game of roulette starts after the players have made most of their bets by placing them on the numbered layout. The roulette dealer will exchange your chips for regular chips when you are done playing. Winning bets are determined by the numbered slot in which the ball comes to rest. 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. " 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.
