Advertisement (Roulette)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As ad when are roulette oral instructions of the player to the dealer called.

practice

In general, in casinos all placing of chips on the roulette table that is not made by the player himself is regarded as an advertisement. Depending on the game strategy of a player, advertisements can be the decisive framework, which is why a player decides for or against a game operator. For example, if a player cannot place his desired bets on a table that is played by several people due to lack of space, he can leave this work to one of the croupiers by informing him of the desired position .

Notified and confirmed advertisement

A distinction is made between the advised advertisement and the confirmed advertisement.

Notified ad

The announced advertisement can be the call of the guest to announce an opportunity or a combination of opportunities in a certain amount, that is, to explain to the croupier in a clearly expressed, unmistakable manner in the advertisement how his wish is to be carried out. No money has to be paid for this - only clarity and comprehensibility is a prerequisite for the boss croupier to bindingly confirm a bet by the player that has not yet been at the table. The payment process follows immediately after the ad is accepted, regardless of whether the ball falls in the kettle.

Confirmed ad

The confirmed advertisement, in which the croupier performing the game (in French roulette the spin or head croupier, in American roulette the bowl croupier) must have all the chips that he is supposed to place for the player, is common in almost all casinos , but different regulated. In general, the player's placement request must be repeated by the game-directing chief croupier and the placement process must be monitored. It is not decisive whether the ball falls in the cauldron during the placement process, as the placement order of the player on the part of the casino is accepted by its legitimate representative, namely the head croupier responsible for the table, and is irrevocable (legally this process is similar to a handshake - Contract that is binding on both sides).

requirements

Depending on the house rules of the gaming operator, the announced advertisement is permitted or prohibited. The risk of an incorrect placement lies with the player, as there are no chips on the table, but he is obliged to pay in any case. The risk of the money transfer lies with the casino, which is dependent on the creditworthiness of the player, whether he has the money at the time of the advertisement. For this reason, the casino directors only grant solvent persons and long-term house guests the right to advertise.

Another issue for advertisements in Germany is the tax authorities, which impose on casinos that gaming table sales must be replenished by the casino operators while the game is running. If an advertising guest does not pay, the gaming operator must insert any missing amount of money in order to restore the table output for the daily tax settlement when the table is closed. In addition, dubious advertising practices have resulted in criminal prosecution in some casinos.

Regulations

For this reason, the rules for accepting advertisements on the part of the croupiers are very strictly regulated in most casinos . The house rules of the large number of German casinos state that only the internationally known and clearly titled combination sets (such as boiler sectors, pinned neighbors, finals, etc.) can be advertised; Personal rewriting of advertisements is only permitted in exceptional cases.

Such personal advertisements are recurring stakes by a guest (for example: my game three transversals with finals and large series à plein ), in which everyone in the casino knows the sentence combination. Casinos in German-speaking countries - with a few exceptions in border areas and in Switzerland - only accept advertisements in German for communication purposes (the French terms used for standard chances as technical terms are part of everyday language in casinos).

It plays a special role for so-called Kesselgucker which method of advertising regulation a casino decides on. Kesselgucker are sector players who can only play their game directly at the kettle . Because they believe they can predict the fall from the speed of the rotating number disc, the throwing rhythm of the turning croupier and the ball hitting an obstacle in the cauldron, they can only submit their announcement immediately before the game is canceled. For them, the implementation of the advertisement game and the time of the cancellation of the game " Rien ne va plus " are decisive.
