Roulette is one of the most popular and is
the oldest online casino game. Roulette bets are placed on
an area of the table marked with a pattern of boxes and numbers.
You may place your bets on any particular
number, any 4 adjacent numbers, a column or a DOZENS bet. The
wheel is used to determine the outcome of a game of Roulette. Once
the bets have been placed, the wheel is set spinning and a small
ball is spun onto the wheel. The ball will eventually stop in one of the pockets. The number of the
pocket is the winning number. Objective
The game of Roulette is played by spinning a 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 pay out on your bet depends on how the bet was placed.
Playing the Game
There are two basic steps to follow to play a game
of Roulette. First you must decide on which numbers or groups of
numbers to bet on. You can do this by moving the mouse over the
roulette table and left clicking to deposit chips on the table.
Use the right click on your mouse to remove chips. You can place
chips on individual numbers or on the borders shared by two or four
numbers. Once you have decided upon your bet, press the Spin button
to start the game. The roulette wheel will spin, and the ball will
be placed on the wheel. It will soon come to rest in one of the
numbered pockets on the wheel. If the number falls with in the range
of any one of your bets then you have won. Types of Bets
