Roulette is a glamorous and exciting game that's easy to play. The Roulette wheels in Europe are numbered 1-36, and have a green zero section. 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. 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. You could place five 1 dollar bets on five completely different inside bets (specific numbers or combinations of numbers) 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. The winning roulette number is marked by the Dealer. Unlike other casino games, roulette rounds go by quickly - just a spin of the wheel and the game is over. After all payoffs have been made, the Dealer will announce "Place your bets. " 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.
