Premise Go to Top

Roulette is played by spinning a small ball on a round wheel. When the wheel stops, the ball comes to rest in one of the thirty-eight numbered slots on the wheel. The object of Roulette is to correctly predict the slot in which the ball will land. By predicting the right number, you earn a payoff on your bet. The size of the payoff depends on how the bet was placed.
 


How to Play Go to Top

Your chips are stacked by denomination ($1, $5, $25, $100, $500) to the right of the game window. Select the amount you would like to wager by clicking on the chip of that denomination, and then place the chip on the desired betting field. To increase your bet, continue clicking on the desired field until the desired bet is placed. You can change the selected denomination and continue betting at any time during this process up to the maximum bet. You can remove your bet by clicking on the Clear Bet button. Alternatively, you can reduce the amount of your bet on any field. To reduce a bet, take note of the status of the Bet +/- switch. If BET + is shown, click this switch so that it displays Bet - (If the maximum bet has been placed this button will automatically be displayed as BET -). When Bet - is displayed, you can reduce or remove the bet on any field by clicking on the field that contains the bet. Your total bet will be displayed in the text area immediately below the table. To increase a bet placed on a field, make certain that the BET-/+ switch is currently displaying BET+ and then click on the field that contains the bet you wish to increase. You can increase the amount up to the maximum bet allowed. Once you are satisfied with your bet, you can spin the roulette wheel by clicking the SPIN or QUICK SPIN button or by simply clicking on the Roulette wheel itself. Depending on where you choose to place your chips, you can "cover" (bet on) anywhere from one to eighteen numbers with a single bet.

The history of the previous winning numbers is displayed in the table below the Roulette wheel. There are three different colored numbers in the history table. The yellow-colored numbers represent the black set of numbers. The Red-colored numbers represent the red set of numbers and the green-colored numbers are either '0' or '00'.

You can place nine different kinds of bets on the Roulette table. Each type of bet covers a certain range of numbers, and each type has its own payoff rate. The short lines of three numbers each are called rows; the longer lines, each holding twelve numbers, are called columns. The first six types of bets are all made on the numbered space or on the lines between them and are called inside bets; the last three types are made on the special boxes below and to the right of the board and are called outside bets. These bets are summarized below :
 
Bet Type Explanation
Straight Up Place your chips directly on any single number (including zero and double-zero).
Split Bet Place your chips on the line between any two numbers.
Street Bet Place your chips at the end of any row of numbers. A street bet covers three numbers.
Corner Place your chips at the corner where four numbers meet. All four numbers are covered.
Five Bet This bet can be made in only one place and covers five numbers: zero, double zero, one two and three.
Line Bet Place your chips at the end of two rows at the intersection between them. A line bet covers all the numbers in either row, for a total of six.
Column Bet Placing a chip in one of the boxes marked " 2 to 1" at the end of the columns covers all the numbers in that column, a total of twelve. (Neither the zero nor double zero are covered by any of the columns).
Dozen Bet Placing a chip in one of the three boxes marked "1st 12", "2nd 12", or "3rd 12" covers those twelve numbers.
Red/Black, Even/Odd,
1 to 18 / 19 to 36
A chip placed in one of the six boxes at the bottom of the board that covers the half of the board described in that box. (The zero and double zero are not covered by any of these boxes.) Each box covers eighteen numbers.
 
Once a spin is complete, the winning number will be noted on the table with a W marker and also displayed in the top right hand corner of the game window. Bets on red, black, odd, even, 1 to 18, and 19 to 36 will have a 1/2 chip placed on top of them if a zero or double zero is rolled to signify that half of the bet is returned according to the zero and double-zero rule.
 


Zero and Double-Zero rule Go to Top
 
When the ball lands on "zero" or "double zero", wagers on red, black, odd, even, 1 to 18, and 19 to 36 are not entirely lost. Instead, each player having made such a bet will lose only half of the original amount bet. For example, if a player places a bet of $10 on red and a double zero is rolled, the player will lose $5 and be able to remove the other $5 from the table.
