Geocache Description:



Roulette was one of my favourite games to deal. Each player would be given their own colour chips. We had about 160-200 chips in each colour. It wasn't uncommon for a player to use all of their chips on a single spin. They would have large stacks betting every way possible to their favourite number. The dealers are required to quickly calculate the payouts without the use of a calculator. Much of the training is spent learning tricks to quickly calculate large payouts. When the payout amount exceeded the non-value coloured chips, the excess was paid in cash value chips. The winning bets below are a realistic payout for a single big player on a busy table.
The dealer spins the ball, it bounces around and finally lands in lucky number 17. He clears the losing bets and calculates the payout.

The dealer spins another time, this time the ball lands in 0, time to pay up.
