Object Of The Game
The objective of the game is to correctly guess and bet on which
number the ball is going to stop. The player puts chips on the
Roulette table to mark up his bets, if he wins, he will collect
a prize according to the amount wagered. The payouts go from
even money to 35 to 1.
Playing The Game
Roulette tables sit up to seven players.
It mainly consists of a numbered wheel and a betting area. (Known
as The Layout) Players make their bets, the croupier spins the
wheel and when the wheel stops and the ball on it lands on a
numbers, the croupier checks the bets placed by the players
and pays out if there is a winner.
On this game, the challenge
is to bet correctly and win, because the only thing that the
player does is bet. The spinning of the wheel and the releasing
of the ball are in charge of the croupier.
Betting
Betting at Roulette is easy, despite the
large number of options the player has.To play at a Roulette
table, the player has to buy special chips. By special we are
referring to the color. Each player has a different and only
color, so, chips have one unique value. To bet more or less
the player simply bet more or less chips. The Roulette chips
can only be used at the Roulette table, and must be chased in
for regular chips before leaving the table. Assigning one color
to each player helps the croupier when is pay time. This way,
the croupier can easily tell who won and how much, avoiding
complications. To avoid cheating, when the ball goes under the
line in the wheel, the players can’t move their chips
and have to put their hands off the table until the ball stops
and the wining bets are paid.
To define which of the multiple
betting options the player has chosen the player has different
sections on the betting table; according to the placement of
the chips the bet is defined. Usually, the sections at the Roulette
table are two.
1 Inside bets – bet placed directly

they are around the numbered layout.
