Posted by: alugoool : Category: What is Roulette?
Although one of the oldest gambling games, Roulette is also one of the most popular games played in modern casinos and fixed odds betting terminals throughout UK betting shops. Roulette bets are placed by putting chips of a particular monetary value, on a table decorated with a pattern of boxes and numbers. These different boxes and numbers represent the different bets that can be placed. A wheel is set spinning when the bets are placed and a ball is spun onto the wheel with a motion that opposes the wheel’s rotation. The ball rapidly loses speed and after bouncing from the metal rungs of the wheel, comes to rest in a pocket of a particular number. The number of the pocket is the winning number.
How to Play Roulette
Placing bets
Select your chip value using the chip selector on the table, just below the bet area. Then simply select the area of the table on which you wish to place a bet. The chips will stack up as you add more chips to the same bet, thus increasing the stake. When you have placed your bets, press PLAY to spin the wheel. If TURBO is deselected then after you press play a bet timer will appear in the top right of the game window, you will have 5 additional seconds to place or amend bets.
A pop up will appear showing any amounts won. Any winnings will automatically be credited to your account after each spin.
Undo / Clear / Repeat / Double
If you want to undo your most recent action, press the UNDO button. Press the CLEAR button If you want to clear the board of all your chips and place your bets again. To remove chips individually from the board hold the SPACEBAR or SHIFT key and click the mouse pointer on the chips you want to remove, this will remove chips from the table in reverse to the order in which they were placed.
Repeat your previous bet(s) by pressing the REPEAT button, and the game will set up your chips to match your previous bet. Please note that all winning stakes automatically stay on the table. Once you have pressed repeat the button will change to DOUBLE, which will double the stakes of all the chips on the table.
