Slot Madness
American
Roulette (single player)
Rule Authority:
InterCasino Roulette
is played with Atlantic City Gaming rules and an American Roulette
wheel with 36 numbers plus 0 and 00.
Authority: New Jersey Casino Control Commission. Rule Exceptions: None.
Premise:
The game of Roulette
is played by spinning a small ball on a
round wheel with thirty-eight numbered slots. When the wheel stops, the
ball comes to rest in one of these slots. The object of Roulette is to
correctly predict the slot in which the ball will land. By predicting
the right number, you earn a payoff on your bet. The size of the payoff
depends on how the bet was placed.
How to Play:
Betting: Your
chips are stacked by denomination ($1, $5,
$25, $100, $500) at the bottom 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. This activates
that specific chip denomination. Next, place your bet on the Roulette
table by clicking on a bet field. To specify a bet that is not equal to
an existing chip denomination, simply click on another chip
denomination after placing your previous chip on the table. For
example, to bet $30, click on the $25 chip and place it on the table
then click on the $5 chip and place it on top of the $25 chip. You may
repeat your last bet by simply hitting the "0" button of your numeric
keyboard. Other numeric keyboard shortcuts are summarized below.
Depending on where you choose to place your chips, you can
"cover" (bet on) anywhere from one to eighteen numbers with a single
bet. If you place a wager that is lower than the minimum table bet
limit, a messagebox will be displayed asking you to adjust your bet
amount.
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 colored numbers in
the history table. The yellow colored numbers mean that they belong to
the black set of numbers. The red colored numbers mean they belong to
the red set of numbers and the green colored numbers are either '0' or
'00'. The "PASS" button may be used to spin the wheel without putting a
bet on the table.
You can place nine
different kinds of bets on the 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 six types of bet 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 and
double-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. |
| Five
Bet |
This
bet can be made in only one place and covers five numbers: zero, double
zero, one, two and three. Place your chips at the end of the row
between the numbers 00 and 3. |
| 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 marked "2 to 1" at the end of the columns
covers all the numbers in that column, a total of twelve. (Neither the
zero nor the double zero are covered by any of the columns). |
| Dozen
Bet |
Placing
a chip in one of the three boxes marked "1st 12," "2nd 12," or "3rd 12"
covers those twelve numbers. |
| Red/Black,
Even/Odd, 1 to 18/19 to 36 |
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 and double zero
are not covered by any of these boxes.) Each box covers eighteen
numbers. |
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. Bets on red, black, odd, even, 1 to 18, and 19 to 36 will have a
"1/2" chip placed on top of them if a zero or double-zero is rolled to
signify that half of the bet is returned according to the zero and
double-zero rule.
Zero or
Double Zero rule:
When the ball lands on
"zero" or "double zero", wagers on red,
black, odd, even, 1 to 18, and 19 to 36 are not entirely lost. Instead,
each player having made such a bet will lose only half of the original
amount bet. For example, if a player places a bet of $10 on red and a
double zero is rolled, the player will lose $5 and be able to remove
the other $5 from the table.

Betting Limits:
$5 minimum bet (can be spread out on the table - i.e. 5 $1 bets).
$500 maximum bet.
Setting your table bet
limit:
You may also set your
table bet limit below the maximum
specified limit by selecting Bet Options from the Game Menu. The Modify
Table Bet Limit window will appear on the screen. To reduce your
maximum table bet limit type in the new limit in the appropriate box
and confirm it by typing your PIN in the box below. Click on the OK
button to complete the update. Please be aware that you can modify your
table bet limit no more than once per week (Friday 12:00 AM EST) and
that using the Modify Table Bet Limit function affects the bet limit
for all games and not just the game that you are currently playing.
