"Ideally, all bets should be made with chips. However, casinos will allow one-time bets made with cash. To confirm this bet, the dealer will say, 'money plays'. if you win, you will receive your winnings in casino chips."

"Casino results are expressed as probabilities, usually as a decimal amount between zero and one where zero is impossible and one always happens. For example, the chance of a flipped coin being tails is 0.5."

"The modern roulette layout comes from mid-nineteenth century France, making it one of the oldest casino games. Roulette dealers are often referred to as croupiers, which is the French word for dealer."
