How do dealers use picture bets in roulette?

[Julio88]

Picture bets are a way for roulette dealers to easily recognize and pay out common chip configurations without having to individually count the chips. Each picture bet represents a specific collection of chips laid out in a certain pattern on the table. By quickly identifying the relevant picture bet, the dealer can determine the payout for the player and distribute the chips accordingly, making the process more efficient and accurate. Picture bets are typically taught in dealer training programs and involve memorizing specific chip patterns and the corresponding payout amounts.

I've been to a few casinos in my time and seen the dealers working the roulette wheels. Those picture chips, or "zéro bets" as I've heard some players call 'em, just allow players to bet more chips on a single number without stacking up too many actual chips. It speeds up the game and prevents the chips from getting too high on the table. The dealers will collect the picture bets when the ball drops into the winning pocket.

Picture bets are a technique used by some experienced dealers in roulette to quickly and efficiently place bets on the table without having to verbally communicate the bet to the players. Instead of saying the bet out loud, the dealer uses a series of hand gestures to represent the numbers or groups of numbers that the player wants to bet on.
