Roulette Color Chips
CHIPS - Roulette can be played using either cash chips or color chips. Color chips can only be purchased at the tables. Color chips are unique to the table you are playing on and they differentiate your bet from all the other bets on the table. Players are trying to bet on which number they think the ball will land on when it’s dropped into the spinning roulette wheel. Players can also bet on which color, red or black, the ball will land on. Placing a chip directly on a number has a payout of 35 to 1. Placing a chip on one of the color spaces has a payout of 1 to 1. The most popular of them are known as ‘even money’ bets, because they cover pretty much half of the possible outcomes – with the exception of the number zero (and the double 0 in American roulette). All the even bets in roulette are: red or black, even or odd, 1-18 or 19-36. There are 20 chips per stack, and the value of a color is indicated by a numerical button placed on your color (20 indicates $20 per stack). Your “color” chips are redeemed before you leave that particular Roulette table. The following is a list of various Roulette wagers, where they are located on the layout and the pay schedule for each.
In the game of Roulette, there is a layout with 38 single numbers (1 thru 36, 0 and 00) which correspond to a Roulette Wheel having identical numbers as the layout. In Roulette you can place 11 types of wagers, each one having different payouts. As a general rule, your wager is reflected by where you place your chip and what it touches on the layout. Use the Pay Schedule as your guide.
THE PLAY OF THE GAME
The Dealer spins the Roulette Wheel in one direction and a small ball in the opposite direction. Bets may be placed until the Dealer announces “No More Bets.” When the ball comes to rest in one of the pockets of the Roulette Wheel, the Dealer will announce the winning number and Place a marker on the winning number.
First the table is cleared of losing wagers and then all the winners are paid. Please do not remove winning wagers or place new bets until all winners have been paid and the Dealer announces “Place Your Bets.”
Roulette Color Chips
In order to keep each player’s wagers separate from the others, the dealer assigns a color chip unique to each player.
You determine the value of your color chips when purchasing stack(s) of chips. There are 20 chips per stack, and the value of a color is indicated by a numerical button placed on your color (20 indicates $20 per stack). Your “color” chips are redeemed before you leave that particular Roulette table.
