He had saved up 0,000 and he wanted to risk and to put this sum on one spin. He searched around Las Vegas for a casino that would actually take his bet. With refusals from most of the major casinos, Chris was referred to Binion’s Horseshoe Club. The maximum table bet on red/black bet in Horseshoe Club was 0,000, but they met him halfway and let him make this bet. The casino also agreed to block out the double-zero on the wheel as this didn’t exist in the European version of the game that Chris was used to playing. Chris placed all his money on red. The casino and the dealer agreed to a few practice spins to ensure that full fairness for everyone concerned, and then the big spin came. The ball landed in number 7, red. Chris won 0,000 instantly, and asked for the money to be put into the casinos cage, and vowed never to gamble again.

You don't compete with other players. In Roulette you play only against the dealer. 8 players can take part in the game. Players buy in and receive colored chips. Each player has chips of a certain color. If you win a spin, you cash your color chip in for a cash chip of a certain value.
The "En Prison" rule. If you place an even money bet and the ball lands on zero, you can either take back your bet or leave it for another spin. You put your bet "in prison" if you decide to leave it for the next spin. The 'La Partage' rule can be applied when you make an outside even money bet and the spinning ball stops on the zero. In this case you lose half of your bet and you are not allowed to use it in the next spin.
