The Rules of Roulette
Roulette is played by spinning a small ball counter-clockwise around a wheel that spins clockwise. When the wheel comes to rest, the ball falls into one of the alternating red or black slots, numbered 1-36, or one of the green slots numbered 0 or 00. The object of the game is to predict which slot the ball will land in.
Roulette chips are placed on an area of the table marked with a pattern of boxes and numbers.
First you must decide on which numbers or groups of numbers to bet on. You can do this by moving the mouse over the table and left clicking to deposit chips on the table. Right clicking will remove chips.
You can place chips on individual numbers or on the borders shared by two or four numbers. You can also bet on whether the number will be odd or even, black or red, or low or high.
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 slots on the wheel.
If the number falls within the range of any one of your bets then you have are paid out according to the odds for each winning bet placed.
