A small marker used by the croupier to indicate the winning number on a roulette table. This marker is typically white and serves a crucial role in indicating the winning number or colour after each spin of the roulette wheel.
Once the winning number is determined, the dealer places the dolly on the corresponding number on the betting layout. This placement signals to players which number has won and serves as a visual cue that betting for that round has concluded. While the dolly remains on the table, players are not permitted to place, collect, or adjust bets. After the dealer clears losing bets and pays out winnings, the dolly is removed, indicating that a new betting round may commence.
By serving as a visible marker for the winning number or colour, the Dolly helps players easily identify the outcome of each spin while minimising errors in determining winning bets. Its use streamlines the gameplay process, allowing for quicker announcements and settlements of winnings, and promotes integrity by ensuring that all players can verify the results of each round.
