A $100 casino chip.

In the context of casino gambling, "Black" typically refers to one of the two colors used on the roulette wheel and the betting layout. In roulette, players can place bets on either red or black, with black representing half of the numbers on the wheel (specifically, the black numbers are 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25, 27, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36). Betting on black means that a player is wagering that the ball will land on one of these black numbers during the spin of the wheel.

Additionally, "black" can also refer to the color of certain poker chips, often denoting a higher value compared to other colors. In some games, black chips are worth more than red or green chips, for example.
