The Roulette Wheel

For the benefit of our valued Silver Dollar players were going to take a brief but informative look at the roulette wheel to help explain how the game works to those that may be unfamiliar with it. The roulette wheel has been the target of much brain work and conjecture over the years as people have struggled to understand its secrets, and more over, its ability to be predicted. These beautifully crafted pieces of gaming equipment are precisely balanced for precision spins, capable of producing totally random results. To the disappointment of crooks and hacks of yesterday, this makes cheating very difficult in roulette. Although the wheel at Silver Dollar casino may not be made of wood and metal, it produces the same random results as a real wheel. At a real casino the wheel can weigh as much as a hundred pounds, and measure about three feet in diameter. At Sliver Dollar Casino the roulette wheel has been painstakingly engineered by software programmers and mathematicians to work on your home computer.

When you first enter Silver Dollar casino take a moment to examine the wheel. You will see the numbers 1 through 36 are divided evenly among red and black "pockets". The pocket is the container that a ball may come to rest in. In addition to the 36 red and black pockets, there are either 1 or 2 green pockets, containing the number zero and double zero (00) on the roulette wheel. At first glance it may seem that the numbers are randomly distributed around the circumference of the wheel, but this is not the case. There is a basic pattern to how the numbers are placed around the wheel. This is done by the manufactures of Roulette wheels in order to try and balance the numbers between odd and even. For every number on the wheel, directly across from it is the next highest even number. Black and red alternate, pairs of even numbers alternate with pairs of odd numbers (with 0 and 00 exceptions). This roulette wheel design is standard within the industry.

A "croupier" is the word for the dealer in Roulette. At Silver Dollar Casino, obviously there is no dealer, so the software does the job of spinning the wheel. The wheel spins counterclockwise and releases what is usually a metal ball along the track that runs along the top of the wheel's cavity. As the wheel looses energy, it falls down into the groves and starts popping around inside the wheel, making that classic Roulette sound. In a few seconds the ball will eventually stop in one of the number slots.

Where the ball stops is considered the result of the spin. Is it odd? Even? High or Low? What ever you bet on, will determine whether or not you win the round of roulette. Good luck! And enjoy Silver Dollar Casino Roulette!
