Objective
The object of Roulette is to bet on the number on which the ball will eventually land.
Roulette Basics
- Our casino offers European Roulette. The wheel is divided into 37 segments. These are numbered 1-36, with a single zero.
- The segments are colored red and black alternately, starting with the red number one. The zero segment is colored green.
- A ball is flicked in a clockwise direction around the outer rim of the Roulette wheel, which spins in a counterclockwise direction.
- Numbers that match those on the wheel are arranged on the Roulette table in three columns of 12 numbers. Your stake is placed on the table and is considered either an outside bet or an inside bet.
- You, the player, place a bet on a number, color, odds or a group of numbers on the Roulette table. The wheel is spun, and winnings are determined by the slot on the wheel where the ball makes a final stop. The amount of the payout depends on how the bet was placed.

Disconnections
Communication problems over the Internet may cause sudden disconnections. Our software has been designed to cope with these disconnections and protect you from unjustified losses.
If you are playing Roulette as the Dealer and a disconnection occurs after you have clicked the
Approve button, the play will continue until the Player has finished his turn. This will have no effect on you.
If you are playing as the Player and the disconnection occurs before you click
Spin, your bet will be returned to your balance. If it occurs after you click
Spin, the round will continue and your balance will be adjusted to reflect your win or loss.
After connection is re-established, you can enter the History page and see the results of the last round (History is available for Real Money mode only).
Playing as Dealer
Our casino offers you the unique option of playing the role of the Dealer. This option increases your chances of winning, as you gain some of the favorable odds reserved for the Casino. At the end of every round, the Casino takes a commission of 1.75% of the total bets placed against the Dealer.
Example
A Dealer chooses to play in Table II. This means that the Dealer meets the minimum requirements for playing in this table type: a minimum of 850 Dealer Points and a minimum balance of $360. The system then matches a Player to the Dealer and after the Dealer approves the next round, the Player places his bets on the table. Let's say the Player places $1 on 14, $5 on 23, $5 on the corner of 16,17,19,20 and $5 on Red for a total bet of $16. The Player spins the Roulette wheel and the ball lands on number 7. The Player loses $11 on his inside number bets and wins $5 on his outside bet, as 7 is Red.
All in all, the Player loses $6 ($11-$5). As the total bet against the Dealer was $16, the Casino takes a commission of $0.28 (1.75%*16), which means the Dealer wins $5.72 ($6-.28) on this round. The Casino's edge over the player in Roulette is 2.7% (bear in mind that this 2.7% is how the Casino makes a profit on Roulette) so as the Dealer you actually gain an edge of 1.2%.
Minimum Dealer Points and Balance
You can play as Dealer once you have accumulated enough Dealer Points and have enough money in your balance, according to the game's limits.
The minimum balance required is a bit higher than the total winnings of the Player in a given round. This is calculated as: 2 * (Maximum Bet outside) + 156 * (Maximum Bet inside, per cell) + (Casino commission = 1.75%) *[(Maximum Bet outside) + 12 * (Maximum Bet inside, per cell)]
Game Options
