There are also a couple of other numbers on the layout with which players lose their money if either one shows. They are the single 0 and double 00. If either of these show, all the even money bets lose. A rude awakening. There are 38 numbers on a roulette wheel the numbers I to 36 and the single 0 and double 00. A woman bought a stack of chips but hadn’t made a bet. The dealer said to her, “Lady, you have to make a bet.” She replied, “I am looking to play casino my birthday number. Where is number 38?’ That is par for the course. We are asked all kinds of silly questions by first time players that want to sit down and play the wheel because it looks fascinating. Money doesn’t count as long as they play. One woman asked a dealer, “flow do you play?” He told her to just pick some numbers out and put her chips on them. So she bought a stack of chips and as the dealer spun the ball she threw the whole stack of chips in the wheel as it was spinning.
We have players that will try a system on red and black. They will bet the red and black at the same time only will bet more on one to balance the bet. That is a fine way to bet. They must lose one bet regardless of what happens, and if one of the green 0 or 00 shows they lose both bets. Bow anybody can play like that amazes me. I wonder how much they paid for the system.
Coloured Chips
Many a person will ask what all the colored chips stand for on a roulette wheel. There are six different colored chips and they are to distinguish to whom they belong to. When a player buys chips they are given a color and when six players are playing there are six different colors on the wheel layout, because if a number is hit and all the chips were the same color we wouldn’t know who to pay. To avoid any arguments each chip has a different color and we know to whom they belong.
Roulette Wheel
The chips have no value at all. They are used to play with. If after playing and you want to quit these chips must be cashed out at the wheel you are playing at. Many a player will take the chips with them when leaving and will try to cash them at some other club or at some other free casino game in the same club they are playing and find out the hard way, that they aren’t worth anything. The player determines how much the chips are worth when he starts to play. On the strip in Vegas the smallest chip you can play is for ten cents a chip and you must buy a minimum of 20 chips so that is $2 a stack. If the player wanted to play for higher stakes he could play 254 chips or $5 a stack or 50* chips at 10 dollars a stack and so on. Downtown in Vegas and other parts of the state you can buy chips for 54 or $1 a stack. There are 20 chips in a stack and that is how the bets are paid off in stacks of twenties. The roulette wheel is beautiful to look at. The colors are red, . white, green and black as most of. the wheel players are women. I think it is the colors that attract them and lure them to the game. Just imagine what would happen to a color-blind dealer with all those colors and colored chips.
