2.2 Wagers: general rules
- All wagers for Roulette must be made by placing gaming chips on the appropriate areas of the roulette layout. Players may continue to place bets until the dealer announces, "No more bets" or the system’s timer flashes red.
- Each player is be responsible for the correct positioning of his or her wager or wagers on the Roulette layout.
- Each wager shall be settled strictly in accordance with its position on the layout when the ball falls to rest in a compartment of the wheel.
- Minimum and maximum wagers permitted are shown on the screen of the game.
- A wager may be rejected by the system prior to the ball being spun because of it not being placed on time, not meeting the minimum or maximum betting requirements or a failure to communicate with the gaming server.
- A system malfunction will result in the voiding of all pays or plays.
2.3 How to play
The Roulette ball shall be spun by the dealer in a direction opposite to the rotation of the wheel and shall complete at least three revolutions around the track of the wheel to constitute a valid spin.
Upon the ball coming to rest in a compartment around the wheel, the dealer shall announce the number of such compartment.
After the Dealer announces the result of the round, the system automatically takes care of wagers on the table by collecting all losing wagers and paying all winning wagers.
The wheel is divided around its perimeter into 37 randomly numbered compartments; 1 through 36 and “0”. Eighteen of the numbers are red and 18 are black and “0” is green.
The same numbers appear sequentially on the layout, which serves for betting. Also included on the layout are spaces for betting red and black, odd and even and a variety of other number combinations.
Players make wagers on one or more of the numbers and/or combinations. The dealer then spins the wheel in one direction. As the ball slows, it drops into one of the numbered compartments, thus indicating the winning number. The camera then zooms in on the winning number on the wheel.
Payoffs on bets depend on how many possibilities are covered. The fewer the possibilities, the higher the payoff. After all bets have been taken or paid, new bets are made and the ball is spun again.
