Welcome
to American Roulette
 American
Roulette is a double zero roulette which consists of 36 numbers plus 0
and 00. It consists of a wheel with 38 stops, and a ball that can land
with equal chance in any of those stops.
American
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 objective of American 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.
Main
difference between American Roulette and European roulette is the
Zeros. American Roulette contains Double Zero (00) in addition to Zero
(0).
How
to Play American Roulette
There are two basic steps to follow to play a game of
American 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 can 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.
Type
of Bets in American Roulette
There are two main types of bets in American Roulette:
Inside Bets
This is when you place a bet on any number on the table
from 00-36.
Outside Bets
This is when you place a bet outside of the table
layout, such as Red or First 12.
Different type of inside and outside bets are as follows:
Straight Up
A
chip can be placed directly on any single number, which can include
zero (0) and double zero (00). The chip should lie exactly on one
number.
Split Bet
A chip can be placed, on two adjacent numbers, on the
line between two numbers.
Street Bet
Street
Bet covers three numbers. The position of the chip is left outer line
of the roulette table near the corresponding row of three numbers.
Corner Bet
Corner
Bet covers four numbers, each of which is adjacent to the other two,
i.e. located in a square. The position of the chip is on the cross of
the lines dividing these four numbers.
Five Bet
This
bet can be made in only one place and covers five numbers: zero, double
zero, one, two and three. The chips are placed at the end of the row
between the numbers 00 and 3.
Line Bet
Line
Bet covers two Street bets (i.e. six different numbers in two rows each
of which has three numbers. For example: 4,5,6 + 7,8,9). The position
of the chip is on the cross of the left outer line of the roulette
table, and the line, dividing two rows, constituting "streets".
Column Bet
On
the shortest side of the roulette table there are three fields, marked
as "2 to 1". Covering one of these fields with a chip, you can make a
bet on all twelve fields, located over the covered field. (Neither the
zero nor the double zero are covered by any of the columns).
Dozen Bet
You
can make a bet on the group consisting of twelve numbers, having placed
a chip on one of the fields marked as "1st 12", "2nd 12" or "3rd 12".
Each group contains numbers from 1 to 12, from 13 to 24, from 25 to 36
accordingly.
Red/Black, Even/Odd, 1 to 18/19 to 36
This
bet is placed on one of the six boxes on the left, longer side of the
table. A half of roulette numbers (18 numbers) corresponds to each bet,
as all the numbers are divided into Red and Black, Even and Odd, Low
(1-18) and High (19-36). (The zero and double zero are not covered by
any of these boxes).
American
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.
