I don't mean to hijack but I was very curious as to how this happens? Do some casinos not use roulette chips?!?

I know that these days there are inside bets, where you each person is designated a color of roulette chips worth a certain amount (oftentimes $1/chip). Inside bets are on a certain number. There are the outside bets though, which you use casino chips to bet with. Betting on black/red, 1-12, 13-24, and 24-36 is an outside bet. I'm guessing she made an outside bet.
