Roulette Rules
Choose your table with the limit you require, and then ask the dealer for the chips you would like to play with. That will be your own colour of non-value chips, which cannot be moved from table to table. Place your chips to cover your chosen numbers, on the top of other chips if it is necessary, until the dealer calls “no more bets”. The ball will fall into a numbered slot and this is the winning number. Losing bets will be cleared; all chips connected to the winning number will then be paid. On the tables there are some bets accepted that are derived form the verbal bets of French Roulette.
These are the wheel section bets and the neighbour bets, which are a method of covering various sections of the wheel. (VOISINS, ORPHANS and TIER).
When leaving the table you must change your chips into value chips. The Roulette wheels used in the Casablanca Casino are the same type as used all over Europe with a single zero. If you have any questions or if you would like to know more about Roulette, please ask our Casino Management or staff, and they will be happy to assist you.
