Roulette is one of the most exciting games in the casino due to its fast pace. Depending upon the action at the table, the dealer may permit a player to wager with value chips or may require him to purchase a unique color of non-value chips which allow the player and dealer to easily identify the wagers. The player establishes the value or currency with the dealer. Players must redeem these special chips prior to departing from the table by simply advising the dealer he wishes to "cash out." The dealer will count the non-value chips based upon the value set when the original exchange occurred.
There are basically two kinds of bets you can make across the layout: Inside and Outside. An Inside Bet is a bet within the field of 38 numbers corresponding with the number on the wheel (1 to 36, plus Zero and Double Zero). An Inside Bet can be straight up (1 number), a split (2 numbers), 3 numbers, 4 numbers, 5 numbers or 6 numbers.
An Outside Bet is placed outside the field. You can bet the winning number will be even, odd, black, red and any number in the first twelve, second twelve, third twelve, 1 to 18 or 19 to 36. You may also bet any combination of these. For instance, you can bet on the even, the black and the first twelve numbers. If the winner is 2, 4, 6, 8, or 10, you will collect three ways. You may also bet on your favorite color, red or black. Other options you have are the First Column, the Second Column or the Third Column.
Payoffs are made directly on the table in front of you with exceptions of Outside Bets. For instance, if you were to place two blue chips on the outside area (1 to 18 Low) and you win, the dealer will simply place two more blue chips next to your bet. If there are any chips still left on the table when the dealer calls "no more bets," the chips are considered a bet.
Be sure when you do place a bet that you have placed it exactly where you want it to be. Even if the dealer - or anybody else- has helped you place it, check to be sure. You winnings are determined
by where your chips are, not where you intended them to be. If the ball drops in 0 or 00, all Outside bets are lost.
