Game
Players play against a casino (gaming house) that represents the dealer.
At the wheel, the dealer controls the entire course of the game:
- Exchanges money for chips (or regular chips for roulette chips).
- Spins the wheel and throws the ball.
- Announces winning numbers (number, color, etc.)
- Collects losing bets and pays out winnings.
In some casinos, depending on the intensity of the game and the number of players, the dealer works in tandem with an assistant who takes over some of the functions.
Bets
After buying Chips from the dealer or at the casino cashier, players place bets. If the player cannot reach the desired position on the game table, the dealer bets chips for the player.
Bet sizes
The maximum (minimum) bet size that a player can make is determined by the rules of a particular casino and may vary even for different tables in the same institution. Minimum bet refers to the minimum bet a player can place on outside bets. If bets are placed on numbers (internal bets – Inside Bets), their total amount must not be lower than the minimum allowed bet.

And so the Game
Croupier spins the wheel and throws the ball in the opposite direction. Players have the right to place bets until the Dealer announces “No more bets” (“Rien ne va plus”), usually in the last three rounds.
As soon as the ball falls on a number, the Croupier announces it and places a special marker (“dolly” or “loula”) on the playing field, indicating this number.
After that, the dealer collects the losing bets and pays out the winnings.
