Why does a croupier shout "pill down" at a roulette table?

[Julio88]

When the ball in roulette skips the table and hits the floor, the croupier will shout "pill down!" to alert the players and the supervisor. This is done to ensure that everyone is aware of the situation and that the bet can be properly settled. In essence, it's a way to maintain the integrity of the game and ensure that everything is fair and above board. It's worth noting that while this phrase might be common in some casinos, not all croupiers use it, and there may be other ways of alerting players to the situation.

The croupier yells "pill down" at the roulette table just to make sure everyone pays attention when the chips are delivered to the betting spots. It's like an upbeat announcement to get folks excited - "hey, the action's about to start again, place your bets!" The shouts and the spinning wheel make gambling feel exciting, even if the odds will always be in the house's favor.
