Each roulette table moves in
sessions, each session is associated with a spin of the wheel and that spin's
result. Each player plays with their own color chips. You trade in
your checks (which most people think of as regular casino chips, but they're
actually called checks) for roulette chips when a new session starts, and the
dealer assigns you a number and denomination. At this point, as you intuition may have mentioned
to you, you can't place any more bets. On inside bets, the total of all
of your bets must add up to at least the table minimum. Corner bet -
lets you bet on four adjoining numbers. Placing your chips at the point where
four numbers meet will indicate you want a corner bet. There are no winning outside bets for 0 or 00 results. There
are the different types of outside bets. Red or Black - you can choose to bet on
the outcome either being a red number, or a black number. Odd or Even - similar
to the red black bet, this even money bet is based on whether the resulting
number will be odd or even.

who to pay, and arguments can't arise over who bet what. " when you're buying chips, to find
out whether you're making inside bets (the ones listed in purple in the table,
on specific numbers) or outside bets (the ones listed in yellow, on kinds of
numbers) When you buy in, tell the dealer what denomination you want. Remember that
you can bet inside or outside if you like; there's no requirement to bet both on
a given spin. All the bets on the layout carry the same house edge, with the exception

before, and even if it did, the wheel can't select what number comes up out of
its own volition. The
