Roulette,
a long time tradition in European
casinos, is an exciting game
that is easy to play. While
the exact origins of Roulette
are not known, it is thought
to have originated in China
while the modern game was
developed in Paris in the
18th Century. The name "Roulette"
is derived from the french
word meaning "little wheel".
Object of the games
The dealer (also
known as the croupier) spins
a roulette wheel containing
37 compartments in one direction,
while rolling a ball into
the wheel in the opposite
direction. The winning number
is determined by where the
ball comes to rest among the
37 compartments.
Playing
the games
The
Bets
Select a chip
denomination and place
your bets on the table
in the various betting
areas. Please be aware
of the bet limits displayed
on the table. Inside bets
consist of all the numbers
on the betting layout
(0 to 36), while the outside
bets consist of all the
other betting areas. When
placing an inside bet
that covers more than
one number, the maximum
bet limit is multiplied
by how many numbers are
covered.
For example: a corner
bet (4 numbers) allows
for a maximum bet that
is 4 times the limit of
a single number.
The
Wheel
Once your bets
are placed, click the
Spin button to start the
wheel spinning. Bets cannot
be made or removed once
the wheel is spinning.
Payouts will be determined
based on which numbered
pocket the roulette ball
comes to rest in.

Placing Bets
As you move your mouse
across the betting area
of the Roulette table,
you'll notice that a text
message will appear toward
bottom right corner of
the screen displaying
the current number covered
by your mouse pointer
and the bet placed on
it. The text will appear
in blue if the bet is
sufficient and in red
if the bet is less than
the minimum required (or
invalid) for this spot.
An upside down red arrow
also points out any invalid
bet on the table. Each
time you left-click over
the Roulette table, you
will place your current
bet amount on the table
-- adding to any chips
that might already be
there. To remove your
current bet amount from
the table, right-click
on the table.
You can change the denomination
of the chips you will
be adding or subtracting
from your bet by selecting
one of the chips on the
left side of the screen
above the status panel.
The chip that is highlighted
represents the amount
by which you will change
your bet.
For
example: If you
wish to place a $25 bet,
make sure the $25 chip is
selected by clicking on
it. The $25 chip should
now be highlighted. You
can then left-click in any
of the betting areas to
place a $25 bet. If you
left-click a second time
in the same betting area,
you will add another $25
chip to your bet for a total
of $50. You could then select
the $5 chip and click in
the betting area to increase
your bet to $55. Right-clicking
in the betting area peforms
the opposite function by
removing the amount from
your bet.
Spinning
the Wheel
Once the minimum bet
has been placed on the
table, the Spin
button will
light up indicating
you may click it to
start the wheel spinning.
Once the wheel is spinning
you can no longer add
or remove bets. When
the wheel comes to a
stop, the winning number
is determined by what
numbered compartment
the ball comes to rest
in. If you placed a
bet on that number,
or a bet on any position
that spans that number,
you will win the appropriate
payout (see Payouts
).
 To
quickly replace all
the bets made from the
previous spin, click
the Rebet
button. The Rebet
button will
cause all your previous
bets to be added to
any new bets you may
have placed on the table
assuming your balance
has sufficient funds.
To quickly remove all
the bets from the table,
click the Clear
Bets button.
