  • Single Player European Roulette

  • Aim Of The Game

    The game of European Roulette is played by spinning a small ball on a round wheel with thirty-seven numbered slots. When the wheel stops, the ball comes to rest in one of these slots. The object of European 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, £100, £500) at the bottom right-hand corner 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. The amount wagered per hand may be increased or decreased by placing the mouse on the stack that you wish to add or subtract from your bet. Each time you click the left mouse button you will add a chip from that pile to your planned wager amount. Likewise by clicking on the right mouse button you can decrease your planned wager amount. You may repeat your last bet by simply hitting the 0 button of your numeric keyboard. Other numeric keyboard shortcuts are summarized below.

    To place a bet in European Roulette, place your chips on the table as described above. Depending on where you choose to place your chips, you can cover (bet on) anywhere from one to eighteen numbers with a single bet.

    You can spin the roulette wheel by pressing the Spin button in the bottom left corner of the screen or by clicking on the roulette wheel. The history of the previous winning numbers is displayed in a 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 number is 0. The Pass button may be used to spin the wheel without putting a bet on the table.

    You can place eight different kinds of bets on the European 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 five 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 tabulated below :

    Bet TypeExplanation
    Straight UpPlace your chips directly on any single number (including zero)
    Split BetPlace your chips on the line between any two numbers
    Street BetPlace your chips at the end of any row of numbers. A street bet covers three numbers
    Corner BetPlace your chips at the corner where four numbers meet. All four numbers are covered
    Line BetPlace 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 BetPlacing a chip in one of the boxes at the end of the columns covers all the numbers in that column, a total of twelve. (The zero is not covered by any of the columns)
    Dozen BetPlacing a chip in the box marked 1st 12 covers numbers 1 to 12, 2nd 12 covers numbers 13 to 24, 3rd 12 covers numbers 25 to 36
    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 is not covered by any of these boxes.) Each box covers eighteen numbers. Low covers numbers 1 to 18. High covers numbers 19 to 36

    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.

  • Racetrack Bets

    Racetrack or horseshoe bets are bets that are placed by clicking on a specific number in the racetrack. This Racetrack field appears in the top of the game window. Each bet involves 5 chips. One chip is placed on the number that the user clicks on and one chip on each of the 2 numbers on either side of the number that the user clicked on, and one chip on each of the 2 numbers beside those numbers.

    Example

    The user clicks on the 33 spot in the racetrack with the £5 chip cursor.

    The result? A £5 chip is placed on each of the following numbers in the main number grid on the table : 20, 1, 33, 16, and 24. Each of these bets acts like a normal straight-up one number bet.
