CLEARING THE LAYOUT
Removing losing chips from the layout must be done in a specific order. Game protection dictates the order in which the chips must be removed.
Once you’ve put the marker (also known as the dolly) on the winning number, it’s time to clear the layout of all the losing chips.
Before removing any chips at all from the layout though, it’s always a good idea to quickly scan the outside bets and try to remember what they are. Players can be sneaky, and try to add a chip or two to a winning outside bet, while you are preoccupied with isolating the winning number!
STEP ONE – ISOLATE THE WINNING NUMBER
Isolating the winning number first prevents accidentally knocking losing chips onto the winning number, and accidentally removing chips from the winning number, while you are reaching to remove losing outside bets, or removing losing inside bets from around the winning number.
It also allows the camera, supervisor, and/or mucker, to see more easily which chips are on the winning number.
Isolate the winning number by flicking losing chips away from the winning number with your finger tips. Or if there are stacks of losing chips around the winning number, pick up the stacks and place them anywhere on the layout among the losing chips, away from the winning number.
Important Note
If there are losing chips between the winning number and outside bets, DO NOT cross your arms OVER the winning number to retrieve those chips. Reach AROUND the winning number so the chips on the winning number can be seen at ALL TIMES. You don’t want to be accused of adding or removing chips from the winning number because the bet can’t be seen while you are reaching over it to remove losing chips!

STEP TWO – REMOVE LOSING OUTSIDE BETS
Once you’ve isolated the winning number, it’s time to remove the losing outside bets.
There are two rules to follow when removing outside bets:
Following these two rules makes it easy to know which outside bets to remove first.
Following the rules above, remove the chips in this order:
1.Columns
a. The column closest to you
b. The middle column
c. The column furthest from you
2.High numbers (19 to 36), Odd, 3rd 12
d. High
e. Odd
f. 3rd 12
1.Black, Red, 2nd 12
g. Black
h. Red
i. 2nd 12
2.Even, Low Numbers (1 to 18), 1st 12
j. Even
k. Low Numbers
l. 1st 12
Once you’ve isolated the winning number, it’s time to remove the losing outside bets.
There are two rules to follow when removing outside bets:
- Start at the end of the table, moving towards the zeros as you go.
- Remove chips closest to the players first.
Following these two rules makes it easy to know which outside bets to remove first.
Following the rules above, remove the chips in this order:
1.Columns
a. The column closest to you
b. The middle column
c. The column furthest from you
2.High numbers (19 to 36), Odd, 3rd 12
d. High
e. Odd
f. 3rd 12
1.Black, Red, 2nd 12
g. Black
h. Red
i. 2nd 12
2.Even, Low Numbers (1 to 18), 1st 12
j. Even
k. Low Numbers
l. 1st 12
STEP THREE – REMOVE LOSING INSIDE BETS
There are two rules to follow when removing inside bets:
Following the rules above, remove the chips in this order:
Start with the chips in the 3rd section first.
Sweep the chips in the 3rd section closer to each other from the outside in. Then sweep the chips off the layout, in a downward motion, so they are close to you. Next sweep the chips to the side of the table into the chipping machine, or mucking/chipping area.
Do the same with the chips in the 2nd section, then the chips in the 1st section.
Now you’ve removed all the losing bets in the most game protected way possible, it’s time to pay the winning bet.
There are two rules to follow when removing inside bets:
- In your head, divide the layout into the 3 sections of the layout. The 3 sections are the first twelve numbers, the second twelve numbers, and the third twelve numbers.
- Remove the chips at the end of the table first.
Following the rules above, remove the chips in this order:
- Remove the chips in the 3rd section first, because they are at the end of the table.
- Next remove the chips in the 2nd section.
- Lastly remove the chips in the 1st section.
Start with the chips in the 3rd section first.
Sweep the chips in the 3rd section closer to each other from the outside in. Then sweep the chips off the layout, in a downward motion, so they are close to you. Next sweep the chips to the side of the table into the chipping machine, or mucking/chipping area.
Do the same with the chips in the 2nd section, then the chips in the 1st section.
Now you’ve removed all the losing bets in the most game protected way possible, it’s time to pay the winning bet.
