Roulette is one of the oldest and most popular games played in modern casinos. The roulette wheel consists of slots or pockets numbered from 1 to 36, which are either red or black. The roulette wheel consists 38 compartments with numbers from 1 to 36, which are colored black and red, and two green compartments with 0 and 00. The wheel is divided into 38 (American) or 37 (European) sections, each of which has walls to hold a small ball where it lands after the wheel is spun. 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. After all bets are placed, the roulette Dealer spins the wheel in one direction and the ball in the opposite direction. If the dreaded 00 is spun, the House keeps all the bets. Unlike other casino games, roulette rounds go by quickly - just a spin of the wheel and the game is over. " 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.
