Etiquette,
Roulette has traveled through history as being one of the most glamorous of casino table games, and as such has adopted a few very specific rules that help maintain its status as the “King of Casino games”.
Although relaxed over recent years, most casinos require some form of dress code. Fortunately, the days of dinner jackets, tuxedos and smart suits are gone as many casino’s now allow a more relaxed dress code that allow a more comfortable playing experience. That said one must always try to look smart when visiting a casino, and dress appropriately.
Roulette is a very social game. you will often find yourself amongst a group of players, all trying to place bets, recover winnings and get as good a view of the gaming wheel as possible. Be courteous of the players around you. If you are in the way of another player wanting to place a bet, step back and allow that player room. If you cannot reach to place a bet or recover your winnings, ask politely and the person blocking you will move aside. After all everyone is trying to have fun, civility and manners from a stranger will most surely add to that experience.
When playing roulette, you will almost certainly have your own “colour coded” pile of chips. These are yours while you are playing at the table, and you're alone. Do not be tempted to mix your chips with those of another player, even if said player is a friend. If you don’t have enough chips to place a bet, ask the croupier for more, in exchange for cash.
When dealing with the croupier, always conduct yourself in a manner that cannot be construed as anything other than what you are doing. Be as transparent as possible. When cashing in chips or asking the croupier for a reload, place your chips in open view and clearly tell the dealer what it is you want to do. Under no circumstances should you pass your chips, or receive your chips directly from the dealer's hand. It is always a good idea to place your chips on the table in clear view. Should any disagreement ensue you will have the benefit of surveillance footage to resolve any issues.
Betting and the recovery of winnings is often where most players get into trouble. At the end of each game, you should always wait for the croupier to finish distributing winnings from the last game before placing your bet for the next. If you are fortunate enough to be collecting winnings you should wait until the croupier has finished and removes the marker before collecting any winnings due. Likewise with betting, there is only a short period of time for betting to take place. This starts when the croupier removes the marker from the last game and sets the wheel in motion. As soon as the dealer calls “No more bets” you must cease from trying to place any further bets. As a rule, the betting period should normally last between 30 – 90 seconds. This period can be longer if the table is busier and shorter if only a few players are taking part.
Roulette is an enjoyable game to play, this experience can be enhanced further when the participants respect each other and adhere to the few simple rules.
