In general, the croupier works only for their salary and does not have a personal interest in the outcome of the game. However, particularly in American casinos, a successful player customarily shares the wealth by providing the croupier with a tip. The croupier traditionally recognizes a generous tip by saying 'merci pour les employés' or 'Thanks on behalf of the employees'.
Training methods to become a casino croupier are different from country to country. Casinos in the United Kingdom, for instance, generally provide more comprehensive training and expect croupiers to demonstrate formality, professionalism, and reticence. By contrast, all but the most lavish American casinos do not require competent croupiers to display any particular attitude.
The croupier spins the wheel manually and waits for the ball to stop to declare the winner.
To place a bet, chips must first be purchased from the Croupier, which usually come in 5, 6, or 7 different color sets of 300.
The Croupier proceeds to call out the winning number once the ball has come to a full stop, and places a clear plastic container over the winning number before clearing away all losing bets from the table.
