This game is of French origin and was first played in New
Orleans. The United States adopted their own version, but the French
version is still played time to time in Las Vegas. The only difference is
that the American version has a single zero and a double zero versus the French
version with just a single zero. It changes the odds and payoffs
accordingly. You usually find most tables in Las Vegas with a minimum bet
of $1 - $3.
Roulette is a fast moving, simple and exciting game offering many different
types of bets and payoffs.
Each Player has a different colored set of non-value Roulette chips, determined
by his/her purchase. $20.00 will purchase a stack of twenty $1.00 chips. $100.00
will purchase a stack of twenty $5.00 chips. These chips have no value at other
tables.
After all bets are placed, the Dealer spins the wheel in one direction and the
ball in the opposite direction. Winning bets are determined by the numbered slot
in which the ball comes to rest. The winning number is marked by the Dealer.
Losing bets are collected and winning bets are paid.
After all payoffs have been made, the Dealer will announce "Place your
bets." You may then place bets on the next spin until the Dealer announces
"No more bets."
Note: On even money bets, you lose only half your bet if either zero (0) or
double zero (00) is the winning number. On Roulette tables with only the single
zero (0), and the winning number is zero (0), Players with bets on even money
(outside) areas lose.
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.
