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.
Column Bet: Placing a chip in one of the boxes marked "2
- 1" at the end of the columns covers all the numbers in
that column, a total of twelve. (Neither the zero nor the 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, 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.
