American Roulette

American Roulette

There are several types of roulettes. Our casino offers American Roulette with one “Zero”.

GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF ROULETTE

  • The American roulette table consists of two parts: the drum and the playing field.
  • On the reel there are numbers from 0 (Zero) to 36, which are randomly arranged. The winning number is determined by using a ball, which is triggered by the dealer leading the game.
  • The same numbers are also found on the playing field. For the convenience of all participants in the game, they are arranged in order.
  • The goal of the Roulette game is to guess which number the ball will stop at and place the desired bet.

GAME TOKENS

  • Tokens for the game can be purchased at the casino’s cash desk. The game is played with two types of tokens: those with a cash value (cash tokens) and colored tokens intended for playing only on this table.
  • Colored tokens from one table cannot be used at other tables.
  • Each player can choose tokens of one of the available colors, which only he uses during the game.
  • Colored tokens do not have a strictly defined face value.
  • Each player can play only one color and determine the price of the color token,which is within the maximum and minimum bet on the “Straight Up” game table. The token price is indicated with a special marker.
  • After completing the game, you need to exchange colored tokens from the dealer for tokens with a monetary value, which you can use to continue playing at any other table, or exchange them at the casino’s cash desk.

GAME PROGRESS

  • At the croupier’s invitation, players place their tokens in person or with the croupier’s help on the main and / or additional American Roulette board.
  • Then the ball is launched against the movement of the roulette wheel.
  • Bets can be placed both before the ball is launched and during its rotation.
  • Three laps before the ball drops, the dealer announces the end of betting. After that, bets are not accepted, withdrawn, changed, or refunded.
  • Bets placed by a player after the croupier declares “No bets” are considered invalid.
  • After the ball falls into one of the numbered cells, the dealer announces the winning number and puts a special marker on it – “Dolly“.
  • Losing bets are removed from the field, and winning bets are paid according to the rules.
  • After removing the token from the number, new bets are accepted, and the whole cycle repeats again.

BIDS AND PAYOUTS

There are three types of bids:

  • Outside Bets — bets in which tokens are placed on additional areas of the Roulette table (for example, a bet on the “Dozen“).
  • Inside Bets — bets directly on individual numbers or a group of numbers. Tokens are placed on a numbered area of the game table.
  • Oral (Call Bets) — bets on “Series” and “Neighbors“.
  • A player can place the following bets (either by himself or with the help of a croupier) on the roulette playing field and receive corresponding payouts for them if they win:

External bids

Simple odds are 18 winning numbers:

  • “Red” — Red numbers = 1:1
  • “Black” — Black numbers = 1:1
  • “EVEN” — Even numbers = 1:1
  • “ODD” — Odd numbers = 1:1
  • “1-18” — Low odds = 1:1
  • “19-39” — High odds = 1:1

Dozen — 12 numbers placed on the playing field in a row.

  • The first dozen are numbers from 1 to 12 = 2:1
  • The second dozen are numbers from 13 to 24 = 2:1
  • The third dozen — numbers from 25 to 36 = 2: 1
  • Column — 12 numbers = 2:1

Internal bids

  • “Six Line” — Six numbers (Six line) = 5: 1
  • “Corner” — Four numbers (Corner) = 8:1

  • “Split” — Two numbers (Split) = 17: 1
  • “Straight Up” — One number (Straight Up) = 35:1

Note:

  1. When “Zero” appears, all bets that are on simple odds (“red”, “black”, “even”, “odd”, “1-18”, “19-36”), dozens and columns lose.
  2. (Zero) “Zero” does not refer to any kind of simple chance. At the same time, bets related to “Zero” are paid in the same way as any other number.

Oral bids

For the convenience of the player and to maintain a high tempo of the game, it is possible to make “Oral bets”. Bets on “Series” and “Neighbors” are placed on the “Additional Field” (track), which is located above the playing field and is a projection of the circle of the roulette wheel. Bets on” Series “and” Neighbors “ are accepted with both colored tokens and cash tokens. A player’s verbal bets are considered accepted if the croupier and / or the inspector have verbally duplicated your bet. The player is solely responsible for the accuracy of the bets placed.

Series

This bet allows the player to block all numbers that are included in one of the four sectors of the roulette wheel with the necessary and minimum number of tokens.

There are four classic series (sectors)that are generally accepted in all casinos:

  • (Series 0/2/3) Voison — 17 numbers = 9 tokens
  • (Zero-Shpiel) “Zero-spire” — 7 numbers, part of “Voison” = 4 tokens
  • (Series 5/8) “Tier” — 12 numbers = 6 tokens
  • (Orfelins) Orfelins — 8 numbers = 5 tokens

Neighbors of numbers

A sector of five consecutive numbers on the roulette reel. The player places a bet in one of the numbers on an additional field (track). Colored tokens and / or cash tokens that are multiples of five are accepted. The bet covers directly the number in which the tokens stand, and two numbers on the right and left. If one of these five numbers appears, the dealer places 1/5 of the bet on the number that appears on the playing field and pays it 35:1. The remaining part of the bet is lost.

   For more information about “Oral Bets”, please contact the casino staff.
