How to Play Roulette
When you approach the roulette table, the dealer will exchange your chips for a stack of special roulette chips with a unique color. Different players use different colored chips so the bets are not confused. The value of your chips is determined by the price you pay for them. When you’re done playing make certain to redeem your chips at the same table you were playing at. Once you leave that table no one will know the value of your chips.
Each spin of the wheel provides a multitude of options for the player. A player may bet on single numbers, rows of numbers, or on adjacent numbers. A player also may play colors, odd or even numbers, among others. A bet on a single number pays 35 to 1, including the 0 and 00. Bets on red or black, odd or even pay 1 for 1, or even money.
