Roulette is a very easy to learn and really exciting game. Roulette is a unique table game as it has a mechanical device as the main element of the game. The outcome of a game of Roulette is determined by where the ball stops on the Roulette wheel. A European roulette wheel has the numbers 1-36, plus a slot for zero. The ball stops in one of the numbered pockets of the Roulette wheel. European wheels have only the 0 green section. American wheels have two green sections marked 00. Once the bets have been placed on the roulette table, the wheel starts spinning and a small ball is released on to the wheel in the opposite direction of the spinning wheel. 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. Wait til the dealer says "place your bets" before putting any roulette chips down for the next round. 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.
