| There
are two types of roulette wheels: the American double-zero wheel
and the European single-zero wheel. The casino has an edge of
5.26 percent on the double zero wheel and an edge of 2.70 on
the single-zero wheel.
The players will be given a certain amount
of time to place as few or as many bets as they desire. The
dealer will then spin the ball. At a certain moment the dealer
will announce: "No more bets" at which time no more
bets may be placed. As the ball finishes its spin and descends
into the pockets, the dealer will announce the winning number
and its color. He will put a special marker on the winning
number. The dealer will collect all the losing bets and then
pay off all the winning bets. The dealer will then remove
the marker and the procedure begins all over again.
The Bets of Roulette
