Roulette players make bets by placing chips in various locations on the table. The roulette wheel consists of slots or pockets numbered from 1 to 36, which are either red or black. 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. Before you get confused, standard American roulette rules have the table use different chips than other table games at the same casino. The dealer spins a small ball in the opposite direction of the spinning roulette wheel. If the dreaded 00 is spun, the House keeps all the bets. The winning roulette number is marked by the Dealer. 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. 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.
