Roulette

This is the most simple game to understand in the casino. Your only decision is how much and where to place your bets.

Playing

  • First, buy Roulette chips from the Dealer. (you need specific roulette chips and make sure you cash them in before you leave too)
  • Now that you've bought your Roulette chips, place them down where you think the ball will land. You can place an inside bet or an outside bet.
  • One number - Chip is placed on one specific number
  • Two numbers - Chip is placed on a line between two numbers
