Roulette Rules

Objective of Roulette
The game of Roulette is played by spinning a small ball around a wheel that contains thirty-seven numbered slots. When the wheel stops, the ball comes to rest in one of these slots. The object of 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. 

Types of Bets
You can place ten different kinds of bets on the 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 or streets on the board, while the longer lines, each holding twelve spaces, are called columns. 

The Straight Bet This is a bet on any single number and odds of 35-1 are paid on a winning number. 

The Column Bet This bet is placed on any of the three columns of twelve numbers running along the table. The odds are 2-1 for a winning bet. If 0 comes up, the column bets lose. 

The Dozens Bet This bet is placed on the outside boxes marked 1st, 2nd and 3rd 12. The player will bet on numbers 1 to 12, numbers 13 to 24 and/or numbers 25 to 36. The odds are 2-1 for a winning bet. If 0 comes up the dozens bets lose. 

Black or Red Bet A player can bet on either a black or red number coming up. The odds here are even (1-1). If 0 comes up the black and red bets lose. 

Odd or Even Bet A player can bet on either an odd or even number coming up. The odds here are even (1-1). Again, if 0 comes up the odd and even bets lose. 

High or Low Number Bet The player can bet on the high box (1 to 18) or the low box (19 to 36). The odds are even (1-1) for the winning bet. If 0 comes up the high and low bets lose. 

The Two Number or Split Bet A player may place a bet on any line that divides any two adjacent numbers. The bet is that either of those two numbers will come up. The odds are 17-1. 

The Row or Street Bet A player can bet on the three numbers in a row on the table by placing the bet/chip(s) on the outside of that row. The bet is that one of the three numbers will come up. The odds are 11-1. 

The Corner or Square Bet The bet is placed on the intersection of four numbers. The bet is that one of these four numbers will come up. The odds are 8-1 for a winning number. 

The Six Number Bet This bet is placed on the outside of the line that splits two rows of numbers. This will cover all six numbers. The bet is that one of the six numbers will come up. The odds here are 5-1 for a winning number. 

Placing Bets
To place a chip on the table, move the mouse pointer to that part of the table where you want to put the chip and press the LEFT MOUSE BUTTON. This will put a chip on the table at your chosen position. 

To increase the value of your bet, keep the mouse pointed at the same spot and continue to press the LEFT MOUSE BUTTON. Each time you press the LEFT MOUSE BUTTON, the number inside the chip will increase, showing you the value of the chip that you have placed in that position. 

To decrease the value of a chip on the table, press the RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON. When you decrease the value of the chip to 0, it will automatically be removed from the table. You can use this method to remove chips which you no longer want on the table. This is done by clicking on the chip with the RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON until it disappears. 

Four buttons to the right of the 'spin' button have been included for your convenience. They are described below: 

CLEAR ALL BETS: This button will remove all chips currently on the table. 

REPEAT LAST BET: This button will wipe off those chips currently on the table (if any) and replace them with the chip positions and denominations that were on the table the LAST time you pressed the 'spin' button. 

CLEAR LAST ACTION: This button will clear your last action. In other words, if your last action involved placing a chip, this button will remove the chip. It your last action involved removing a chip, this button will replace that chip (together with its original value.) The game remembers your last actions and, if continually pressed, will clear each previous action in turn. 

UNDO: This button undoes the effects of the other buttons. If pressed immediately after the 'CLEAR ALL BETS' button, it will replace the bets that you had on the table prior to pressing the 'CLEAR ALL BETS' button. If the UNDO button is pressed immediately after pressing 'REPEAT LAST BET' button, the bets currently on the table would be replaced with the bets that you had on the table prior to pressing the 'REPEAT LAST BET' button. If the UNDO button is pressed after you have pressed the 'CLEAR LAST ACTION' button, it will reverse the effects of having cleared the last action. PLEASE NOTE that the four buttons above do NOT in any way affect the game. They are MERELY for the player's convenience in placing chips on the table. You need not use them should you wish. To speed up the placing of your bets on the table, press the CTRL or the SHIFT key when pressing the left or right mouse button. When the CTRL key is held down, the chip value will increase/decrease with each mouse click by an amount of 5 credits. The SHIFT key has a similar effect except it results in an increase/decrease of 20 credits!

Helpful Hint
To speed up the placing of your bets on the table, press the CTRL or the SHIFT key when pressing the left or right mouse button. When the CTRL key is held down, the chip value will increase/decrease with each mouse click by an amount of 5 credits. The SHIFT key has a similar effect except it results in an increase/decrease of 20 credits! 

Spinning the Ball
Once you have placed your bets on the table, press the 'spin' button. This will set the ball rolling. When the ball comes to rest, the game will automatically highlight the winning bets and you will be paid out the standard odds accordingly. (Please note all outside bets lose on 0). 

Players cannot spin the ball unless they have at least 1 credit on the table.
