The roulette wheel is one of the big highlights of any casino be it a casino themed party or a real Las Vegas casino. When hosting your own Casino Party you should definitely have a roulette wheel. Many casino themed parties opt not to have the roulette wheel as it's too much work, however, it's not and here's how you do it.

  • Get a rotating dealer to work shifts
  • Set the payouts to be simple
  • Have everyone collect their own chips

Roulette Wheel Set Each

Dealers

You will need dealers working tables at all your casino games. It doesn't matter if the dealer is working blackjack or roulette as they both need a dealer. Therefore, this should not be the largest drawback of having a roulette wheel. Your dealer will find that Roulette is actually not as complicated as it looks and being the dealer is not only fun but also quite entertaining.


Payouts

The payouts for roulette can often be very complicated with so many different options. The easiest way to keep things easy is to set your own payouts. Simply create the payouts as I've shown below (or some modification of below) then post it on the wall behind the dealer. Also, don't be afraid of setting the odds in the players favor. Roulette has one of the worst odds in a normal casino why have your players face those bad odds? Simply set it slightly better. Rather then 35-1 for an exact number set it to 40-1.


Chip Distribution

One of the biggest headaches of running a roulette table is trying to get all the chips sorted and back out to the players. You will notice
at a Las Vegas casino that the roulette table has at least 3 people working. At your casino you probably don't have this luxury. Instead get some of the players who are playing to help out by sorting their own chips. As the money is all fake you shouldn't worry too much about people taking money.
