Chips are purchased from the
Roulette Dealer and assigned the value you choose per chip but remaining
within the table minimum and maximum.
Wagers are made by placing your chips on
the table in positions correlating with where you expect the ball to land
on wheel. You can bet on color, odd/even, single numbers (including
zero/double zero), combinations of numbers, or groups of numbers.
As you play you need to meet the minimum
bet requirement. If the minimum bet is one dollar and you are playing
25-cent chips you need to play at least four chips bringing your total bet
to $1. Many tables separate the outside from the inside when meeting the
minimum bet requirements which means you are not allowed to split the
minimum bet between the inside and outside betting areas. If you chose to
play both you must meet the minimum both inside and outside. For example,
on a $1 minimum table you must play at least $2 if you want to play both
the inside and the outside betting areas.
The Roulette operator known as the
banker, croupier, or dealer spins the wheel after wagers have been placed
and releases an ivory marble into the bowl in the opposite direction of
the spinning wheel. You are allowed to continue betting beginning from the
time the last games marker is removed from the betting area, after the
ball is released for the next game, and until the time the dealer waves
their hand over the table and says, "No more bets."
When the spinning wheel slows the marble
will come to rest in one of the compartments that will be the winning bet.
The marker is placed on the Roulette Table’s corresponding number to
where the ball landed and wagers are paid appropriately before removing
the marker and moving on to the next game.
