How to Play Multi-Player American Roulette
The game of Roulette is played by spinning a small ball on a round wheel with thirty-eight numbered slots. 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.
Your chips are stacked by denomination ($1, $5, $25, $100, $500) at the bottom of the screen above the game menu. Select the amount you would like to wager on a given hand by clicking the left mouse button on the chip of that denomination. This activates that specific chip denomination. Next, place your bet on the Roulette table by clicking on a bet field. To specify a bet that does not equal to an existing chip denomination, simply click on another chip denomination after placing your previous chip on the table. For example, to bet $30, click on the $25 chip and place it on the table then click on the $5 chip and place it on top of the $25 chip. You may repeat your last bet by simply hitting the "0" button of your numeric keyboard. Other keyboard shortcuts are summarized below.
To place bets in Roulette, place your selected amount of chips on the roulette table using the left mouse button. Depending on where you choose to place your chips, you can "cover" (bet on) anywhere from one to eighteen numbers with a single bet. If you place a wager that is lower than the minimum table bet limit, your bet amount will be automatically adjusted to the minimum bet amount.
You can Spin the roulette wheel by clicking on the "SPIN" button in the bottom left corner of the screen or by clicking on the roulette wheel itself. The history of the previous winning numbers is displayed in the table above the "Game Menu". There are three different colored numbers in the history table. The yellow colored numbers mean that they belong to the black set of numbers. The red colored numbers mean they belong to 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 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. The different types and payoffs for each bet type are summarized below:
Bet Types & Explanations
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 number: zero, double zero, one, two and three. Place your chips at the end of the row between the numbers 00 and 3.
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 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,1 to 18/19 to 36 A chip placed in one of the six boxes on 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.
Once a spin is complete, the winning number will be noted on the table with a marker. Winning bets will have a "W" chip placed on top of them. 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.
Single Zero or Double Zero Rule Roulette
When the ball lands on the single "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.
