Welcome
to European Roulette
 Next
to Blackjack, Roulette is one of the most popular games played in
modern Casinos. Roulette translated literally means "small wheel" and
it is one of the oldest casino games played today. Roulette is somewhat
unique amongst modern table games in that it employs a mechanical
device as the key element of the game. This is the large and very
distinct Roulette wheel, which is mounted horizontally on one end of
the table. The hollow of the wheel contains thirty-seven colored slots
numbered from 0 to 36 - half the slots are red and half are black and
the 0 is green.
European Roulette is played
by spinning a small ball, usually metal or ivory, counterclockwise
around a wheel spinning clockwise. When the wheel comes to rest, the
ball drops into one of these slots. The object of Roulette is to
predict the slot the ball will land in.
Wagers in European Roulette are placed on an area of the
table marked with a pattern of boxes and numbers.
This
casino version of roulette is played using European Roulette rules and
allows players to place all the types bets that they would find at a
traditional land based casino.
How
to Play European Roulette
There are two basic steps to follow to play a game of
European Roulette.
First
use your mouse to place chips on individual numbers and the borders
shared by two or four numbers. You can also bet on whether the number
will be odd, even, black, red, low and/or high, by placing outside
bets. Provided you have enough money and do not exceed table limits,
you place any number of different bets.
Once you have
placed your bets press the SPIN button to start the game. The roulette
wheel will spin and the ball will be placed on the wheel. The ball will
eventually drop into one of the numbered slots on the wheel. If the
number falls within the range of any one of your bets, you win!
Refer to the Table Limits and Payouts to find out more
about how much each kind of bet is worth.
European Roulette
Buttons
The
SPIN button will start a game of roulette by setting the wheel in
motion and spinning the ball onto the wheel. The SPIN button will only
work if there is a bet on the table.
A wager can be placed on any part of the table. It is
strongly suggested that you read up about the kinds of bets available
in the Roulette Bets section.
The COIN buttons allows
you to adjust the size of your wager. If you are using a coin size of 1
then each mouse click will only add or remove 1 from the current pile
of chips on the table.
The REBET button allows you to SPIN again with the bets
already on the table, or to add more bets and then SPIN.
The CLEAR button removes all chips from the table.
