When you join the game, or buy in (or play roulette online), you generally ask for a stack, which consists of 20 chips. Let the croupier know what value you want assigned to the chips. The croupier keeps track of the value by placing a marker called a lammer on your color in the chip stacks. (Although at smaller casinos or when everyone is playing the same-value chips, lammers may not be used.) When you leave the table, the croupier exchanges your roulette chips with casino chips, which you take to the cashier’s window and cash out.
