Roulette is of French origin and was first played in New Orleans. 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. The French roulette wheel is divided into 37 slots, numbered 1 through 36, plus 0, there is no 00. If you play black-red, odd/even or high-low, you must place the roulette table minimum for each and every bet. 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. 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. Numbers 1-18 are considered the lows numbers, 19-36 are the highs. Losing roulette bets are collected and winning bets are paid. " You may place roulette bets on the spin until the Dealer announces "No more bets". 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.
