Roulette is a very easy to learn and really exciting game. It is played in virtually every gambling house in North and South America and in Europe, where it is even more popular. The outcome of a game of Roulette is determined by where the ball stops on the Roulette wheel. In Roulette the bets are placed on an area of the table marked with separate boxes containing individual numbers. The marked area of roulette is called the game layout, and you may place bets on any particular number, any 4 adjacent numbers, a column or a dozen bet. The roulette chips are worthless at the other tables in the same casino, so do not bother trying to stack them under your blackjack chips or anything foolish like that. In American roulette the addition of the 00 section greatly increases the odds in favor of the house. Winning bets are determined by the numbered slot in which the ball comes to rest. 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. 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 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.
