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. In roulette game the bank pays or collects from each bettor. A European roulette wheel has the numbers 1-36, plus a slot for zero. The sections are numbered from 1 to 36, (half red and half black, half odd and half even) plus a green section marked 0. European wheels have only the 0 green section. All roulette players place their bets. 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. 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'. 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. 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.
