Just in case anyone cares. Roulette had a rule, $5 maximum any number. But I saw a player with one $5 on a number and the four corners around it?

Tables were $1 and each of the chips I got, cost me $20 each. (as expected?)

Minimum bet was $5 Inside / Outside.

When we hesitated at Northern Lights, the dealer said we could buy 50c chips and scatter them all over, but the $5 Min. still applied. $20 buy in, in either case.
