AIM OF THE GAME
European Roulette is the most commonly played
version of online roulette. The aim of online roulette is to guess
where the spinning ball will stop on the roulette wheel and place
your bet on the corresponding number on the roulette table. Once all
bets are placed, a small ball is released on to the spinning
roulette wheel, in the opposite direction to the spin. The ball
stops in one of the numbered pockets of the roulette wheel.

HOW TO PLAY
Your chips are stacked by
denomination (£1, £5, £25, £100, £500) at the bottom right-hand
corner of the screen above the game menu. Select the amount you
would like to wager on a given hand by clicking the left mouse
button on the chip of that denomination. The amount wagered per hand
may be increased or decreased by placing the mouse on the stack that
you wish to add or subtract from your bet. Each time you click the
left mouse button you will add a chip from that pile to your planned
wager amount. Likewise by clicking on the right mouse button you can
decrease your planned wager amount. You may repeat your last bet by
simply hitting the "0" button of your numeric keyboard. Other
numeric keyboard shortcuts are summarized below.
To place a bet in European Roulette, place your chips on
the table as described above. Depending on where you choose to place
your chips, you can "cover" (bet on) anywhere from one to eighteen
numbers with a single bet.
You can spin the roulette wheel by pressing the "Spin" button in the
bottom left corner of the screen or by clicking on the roulette
wheel. The history of the previous winning numbers is displayed in a
table above the game menu. There are three different coloured
numbers in the history table. The Yellow coloured numbers mean that
they belong to the Black set of numbers. The Red coloured numbers
mean they belong to the Red set of numbers and the Green coloured
number is '0'. The "Pass" button may be used to spin the wheel
without putting a bet on the table.
You can place eight different kinds of bets on the European 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 on the board, while the longer lines, each holding
twelve, are called columns. The first five types of bets are all
made on the numbered space or on the lines between them and are
called inside bets, while the last three types are made on the
special boxes below and to the right of the board and are called
outside bets. These bets are tabulated below:
Bet Type Explanation
Straight Up
Place your chips directly on any single number (including zero).
Split Bet
Place your chips on the line between any two numbers.
Street Bet
Place your chips at the end of any row of numbers. A street bet
covers three numbers.
Corner Bet
Place your chips at the corner where four numbers meet. All four
numbers are covered.
Line Bet
Place your chips at the end of two rows at the intersection between
them. A line bet covers all the numbers in either row, for a total
of six.
Column Bet
Placing a chip in one of the boxes at the end of the columns covers
all the numbers in that column, a total of twelve. (The zero is not
covered by any of the columns).
Dozen Bet
Placing a chip in the box marked 12P covers numbers 1 to 12, 12M
covers numbers 13 to 24, 12D covers numbers 25 to 36.
Red/Black, Even/Odd,
Low/High
A chip placed in one of the six boxes at the bottom of the
board covers the half of the board described in that box. (The zero
is not covered by any of these boxes.) Each box covers eighteen
numbers. Low covers numbers 1 to 18. High covers numbers 19 to 36.
Once a spin is complete, the winning number will be noted on the
table with a marker. Winning bets will have a "W" chip placed on top
of them.
ZERO RULE
Wagers on red, black, even, odd, low, and high shall be lost if the
roulette ball comes to rest in the compartment marked zero (0).
