Roulette is a glamorous and exciting game that's easy to play. Roulette is played on a table featuring a betting area and the roulette wheel. An American roulette wheel has an extra slot; 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 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. American wheels have two green sections marked 00. The dealer spins the roulette wheel in one direction and the small ball in the opposite one. If the dreaded 00 is spun, the House keeps all the bets. When you get your roulette chips they will not be marked with a denomination, you choose it, and all of the chips will reflect that worth - the dealer keeps track of that by associating the amount and color with a 'lammer'. Unlike other casino games, roulette rounds go by quickly - just a spin of the wheel and the game is over. 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.
