"00". The numbers are alternately colored red and black. The "0" and "00" are
green. Color and number combinations offer a variety of betting options. Wagers
can be placed on individual numbers or groups of numbers.
Roulette chips are different from other casino chips. Each player receives a different
color chip in order to keep track of their individual bets. The player decides the value
of the chip when they buy in. Roulette chips are typically sold in "stacks" of 20. For
example, if you would like your roulette chips to be worth $1 each, you would
purchase a "stack" for $20.
While bets are being placed, the dealer spins the roulette ball in the opposite
direction of the spinning wheel. Bets may be placed until the dealer announces "no
more bets" as the ball begins to drop. When the ball falls into a number on the
roulette wheel, the dealer places a marker on the winning number on the table layout
and pays the winning bets.
The following diagram indicates the payoffs for individual bets and the many
combinations available.
