However, when betting what are sometimes referred to as the French numbers, a different standard is adopted.
Today, only roulette and craps offer “called bets.” At craps, when the dice are in the air, many casinos allow the dealers to accept late “called” or “verbal” bets, provided that the player is in the process of tossing chips or cash onto the layout to cover the bet or the player has chips in the rail in front of them.Īt roulette, a player may ask for a Basket bet, which covers 0, 1, 2, 3 and the dealer will place the chips on the layout for them, as it is too long a reach for most players. The game of roulette has changed very little in Europe since 150 years ago when it became extremely popular in Germany and Monte Carlo. Roulette has often been called the King of Casino Games, probably because it has been around longer than any other current form of casino gambling.
