The Dealer
Roulette Color Chips
Dealers are required to keep the wheel moving at all times, even between spins. They spin the ball in the opposite direction the wheel-head is traveling. This causes the ball to jump and spin before landing on a number.

The dealer will note the winning number with a marker. Always wait until the dealer removes the marker before making new bets!
Playing Tips
If the number you want to bet is already covered with chips, don’t worry. It is permissible to stack your chips on top of the other chips. That's why you have your own color chips.
You are allowed to place bets until the dealer calls out, “No more bets.”
Keep in mind that while roulette systems like the Six-Pack Plus are fun, the house will always have the advantage.
Roulette Color Chip Values
In the game of Roulette, there is a layout with 38 single numbers (1 thru 36, 0 and 00) which correspond to a Roulette Wheel having identical numbers as the layout. In Roulette you can place 11 types of wagers, each one having different payouts. As a general rule, your wager is reflected by where you place your chip and what it touches on the layout. Use the Pay Schedule as your guide.
THE PLAY OF THE GAME
The Dealer spins the Roulette Wheel in one direction and a small ball in the opposite direction. Bets may be placed until the Dealer announces “No More Bets.” When the ball comes to rest in one of the pockets of the Roulette Wheel, the Dealer will announce the winning number and Place a marker on the winning number.
First the table is cleared of losing wagers and then all the winners are paid. Please do not remove winning wagers or place new bets until all winners have been paid and the Dealer announces “Place Your Bets.”
In order to keep each player’s wagers separate from the others, the dealer assigns a color chip unique to each player.
