Etiquette
Each guest plays a distinct chip colour — never touch another player's chips. Once the dolly marks the winning number, keep your hands off the layout until payouts finish. Colour chips are valid only at that table, so colour up before you leave. Place cash and chips on the felt, not into the dealer's hand. Finish betting before the dealer calls no more bets. Photography is restricted on most gaming floors — ask before taking out a phone. Tipping the dealer is customary but never required.

FAQ
- What is the house edge in Roulette?
- Roulette runs at 2.7% under standard rules. The edge alone is misleading: what you actually lose is edge x stake x hands per hour, and Roulette runs 시간당 약 40스핀. A lower edge at a faster pace can cost more per hour. This figure assumes standard rules. A venue that changes the payout or the rules changes the real number.
- Which bet is worst at a Roulette table?
- In this table Even money, double zero is worst at 5.26% and Even money, single zero is lowest at 2.7%. At the same table, where you place the bet changes the expected loss several times over — the spots with the biggest payouts are usually the ones with the biggest edge.
- Can a first-timer sit at Roulette?
- The rules are simple enough to follow on a first visit. Read the table limit and payout sign before sitting — the same game at a different payout is a different bet.
- What are the payouts in Roulette?
- Standard payouts are 스플릿 / Split 17:1 · 이븐머니 / Even money 1:1 · 스트레이트 / Straight up 35:1. Payouts are something a venue can change, and changing them changes the house edge — if the sign differs from the standard, the edge above does not apply at that table.
- Where can I play Roulette in the Philippines?
- The section below lists the 7 venues we have confirmed. Each entry is transcribed from the venue's own page and carries the date we checked it. Figures the venue does not publish — table count, minimum — are left blank rather than estimated.
- What is the table minimum for Roulette?
- Not stated by an official source. We do not fill this in with an estimate. Minimums vary by day, hour and floor within the same venue — the sign at the table is the only accurate figure.Not verified

Colour chips are valid only at that table, so colour up before you leave. Place cash and chips on the felt, not into the dealer's hand. Finish betting before the dealer calls no more bets.
