So it is up to you to find out how much each individual chip is worth. The value of the chip is usually the minimum stake on the table.
Unlike other casino games the cashier will give you stacks of chips that are all exactly the same colour and have no cash value printed on them. In roulette, when you give the dealer your money they will change it up in chips. This means that you will pay a much smaller percentage of your wins to the house on a single zero game compared to a game where the house has two numbers in its favour. You will find in Macau that most of the tables are European. The European version of the game only has one green number: zero (0). The American version of the game has two green numbers: zero (0) and double zero (00). The very first rule about playing roulette is that you want to play the European version of the game not the American one. The best thing about roulette is that it takes seconds to learn and anyone can play.
