Roulette 

Roulette, the American version of one of the oldest and most popular European gambling games, is one of the easiest games to learn, and yet it's one of the most exciting. This is the game that "broke the bank" in Monte Carlo.

The game is played by spinning the wheel, allowing a small white ball to circle and eventually drop into a winning number slot. The Roulette wheel is divided into 38 numbered slots, including the numbers 1-36 plus 0 and 00. You can bet on any one of the 38 individual numbers ("straight up") or bet in combinations (divide your bets over adjoining numbers).

To avoid confusion, each Player has chips of a different color that must be bought and cashed in at the Roulette table (the chips have no value anywhere else in the casino). You can make as many bets as you wish on each spin. The amount of the wager and the type of bet made determine the return on the bet. 

To play, the Croupier (Roulette's "Dealer") spins the wheel one way and rolls the ball in the opposite direction along the top inner edge of the Roulette wheel. While the ball is spinning, you may place bets on one number, various combinations of numbers, or sections of numbers. As the ball slows, the Croupier will signal that no more bets can be accepted. The ball will fall into a slot, the Croupier will announce the wining number and place a marker on the table to indicate that number. All losing bets are then cleared and all winners are paid. 

Players should wait until all transactions are completed and the Croupier removes the marker from the table before placing bets for the next spin of the wheel. Each Player is responsible for the correct positioning of their wager on the layout regardless of whether the bet is placed by the Croupier or the Player.
