RoulettePremise A small ball spins around on a wheel with numbered slots. In British roulette, there are 36 numbers plus a zero slot. In the American version, there are 36 numbers plus a zero AND a double zero slot. When the wheel stops, the ball comes to rest in one of these slots. 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 Your chips are stacked by denomination ($1, $5, $25) on the screen. Select the amount you would like to wager on a given hand by clicking the left mouse button on the chip of that denomination and/or drag and drop it to the number of your choice. After placing your bet(s), you just click on the center of the roulette wheel, and the fun begins! TYPES OF BETS 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 on the board, while the longer lines, each holding twelve, 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, while 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: 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 Bet: 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. 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, Low/High: A chip placed in one of the six boxes at the bottom of the board 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. Payoffs Bet Payoff |
