From what I've seen on a table with $1.00 chips the casinos typically want you to buy in with $20.00, which equals a single stack of chips.

Casinos vary on how much the minimum is to buy in. So a total of $10.00.Inside Typically if you're going to be playing inside you'll want to buy in. That means you have to put $5.00 on black and $5.00 on Even. Say you want to bet on even and black numbers. So if you're at a $5.00 minimum table each outside bet must be at least $5.00. Each box is a place to make a bet.Typically (at least at the casinos in Las Vegas, Reno and Lake Tahoe, Montreal, Vancouver and around Toronto that I've been in) each outside bet (so each box) must meet the table minimum. 1st/2nd/3rd 12, 1-18, Even, Black, Red, Odd, 19-36 as well as the 3 columns that say 2 to 1. View image: The 'inside' is the numbers, starting with 0/00 at the top all the way through 36.The outside is essentially everything else. The table minimum applies to both.Let's look at the layout of the table, otherwise known as where you're placing bets. There are two very basic types of bets in roulette. If there's some action on the table you'll likely notice that there are a lot of different colored chips on the table. Just don't touch the glass.Like just about every other table game roulette has betting minimums and maximums. That's a trap that the casino's have installed so the dealers and pit bosses have an excuse to reprimand you. Don't lean on the glass, I know it's often the perfect height to rest your arm on. In the examples I use I'm going to use a $5.00 minimum table with $1.00 chips.First off in most places there's a glass shield near the wheel. Mostly people just hear some loud cheering, like WOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooo 17!Or maybe it's the flashy Christmas tree like screen showing the previous numbers that draws people in.So provided you're not completely drunk off your ass and you don't want to look like a total noob at the table let me cover some basics.

Besides it's kind of cool being able to play and watch the football games on the tv's.My last couple trips I've noticed that a lot people have no clue about roulette and it's little oddities. I just enjoy playing and not having to really concentrate on anything. Yes I know the odds suck and you're not likely to make any money. So I go to Vegas a lot, and I play a lot of roulette.
