So now that you have your chips and are ready to play, how do you go about placing bets? There seems to be a million different places to place bets down. For instance, if there is a stack of 10 blue chips with $50 printed on it, you know that the entire stack is worth $50, with each chip being worth $5. This indicates the value of the total stack of chips. A dealer will place what is known as a 'lammer' on top of a stack of chips. There are no distinguishing marks, just distinguishing colors. Unlike blackjack, where the value of a chip is clearly noted, the dealer determines the value of a chip in roulette. It moves at a slower pace, and is more of a social game. Roulette isn't like blackjack, which is rapid fire action. Each player is assigned their own color, to distinguish themselves from all of the other players at the table. Roulette tables use their own chips so that the dealer can tell all of the players at the table apart.
Roulette tables use their own chips, different from the chips used in the rest of the casino.
