With several Players throwing chips around, you want to make sure that the Dealer identifies you with a specific color chip. He also will make sure that your chip is worth the amount you paid for them. Once you're done playing at that table, make sure you cash your roulette chips in at the same table. If you walk away, no one will know the true value of your chips.
Now that you've bought your Roulette chips, place them down where you think the ball will land. You can place an inside bet or an outside bet.
