How to Play this Roulette Game

This game doesn't need much in the way of instructions. You start with a total of $999.00. To make a bet, click on a chip size (1, 5, 25 or 100) to select that chip. Then click on the board to bet that chip. Clicking multiple times on the same spot will bet that denomination of chip each time you click.

If you need to clear your chips, press the Clear button. To repeat your previous bet, press the Repeat button. When you are finished betting, press Spin and wait for the ball to land on a number. You will see a roulette marker come down on the number on the board that the ball is landed in.

The number, black/red, and even/odd will appear under the Grand Roulette sign. Under that will be the amount you won on the bet and the amount the you bet overall. The rectangular box will start to fill up with the previous numbers as you do more spins.

To give you a little more of an idea of where you can bet without having to tell you, I made this festive little screenshot. By the way, Hi everybody!

Basic Roulette Rules

I'm fairly sure everybody already knows a little bit about Roulette, so I'm going to spare the true basics of the game and go straight to the betting aspect of roulette.

When you are betting in roulette, you are betting on a certain number or set of numbers which pay out at certain odds. The payouts correspond to the odds of you winning that bet.

These first five listed here involve placing bets on the numbered part of the board only:

• Betting on 1 number - Odds are 38 to 1, Pays out 35 to 1. Fairly simple. You bet on one number.
• Betting on 2 numbers - Odds are 19 to 1, Pays out 17 to 1. Place bet on the line between 2 numbers.
• Betting on 3 numbers - Odds are 12.66 to 1, Pays out 11 to 1. Place bet on the edge of a row of three
• Betting on 4 numbers - Odds are 9.5 to 1, Pays out 8 to 1. Place bet on kitty-corner of 4 numbers.
• Betting on 6 numbers - Odds are 6.33 to 1, Pays out 5 to 1. Place bet on edge of two rows of three.

The last two betting options involve either betting on a third of the board or half of the board.

Any bet that is a third of the board bet will cover 12 numbers. These bets are the 2 to 1 bets on the end of any column of numbers and the 1st 12, 2nd 12 and 3rd 12. The odds of winning are a little bit higher than 3 to 1 but the payout is 2 to 1.

Any bet that is half of the board bet will cover 18 numbers. Again there are 38 numbers total because of the 0 and 00 spots, so your odds of winning is a little more than 2 to 1 and the payout is even money. The half board bets are Red/Black, Even/Odd and 1 to 18/19 to 36.

One thing that you must note, none of the third or half bets cover the 0 or 00. The only way to win anything when the ball lands on 0 or 00 is to bet on the numbers directly.

Roulette Strategies

When it comes to strategies about winning in roulette, your really talking about preferences and what type of roulette player that you are. If you have no preferences or haven't played much, you may want to give yourself the best chance of winning (and not losing big!) by spreading your bets around a little bit.

I'll give you an example: Many people like to play whatever lucky numbers that they might have. You can bet on that number directly, but also bet on the numbers around it on the board. This includes betting on Red/Black, Odd/Even or any of the sections that the number is located in.

If you ever play European Roulette (which I will try to add here), you will see a second set of numbers on board in an oval. This oval shows you what numbers look like around the roulette wheel. It's a little impractical for this game, but if you ever go to a casino, another way to bet is by betting on the four numbers on the wheel closest to the number that you are betting on.

If you would like some kind of betting strategy, there are hundreds of them out on the internet. But an easy one to remember if you are really looking to win money consistently is to play multiple low payout bets on each spin. Then also sprinkle in some lower bets on some of the higher payout bets.

Although I highly advise against ever paying attention to what the previous numbers were on the board, you might want to protect your bets by placing a small bet on the line between 0 and 00 if you notice that neither one has appeared in a while.

Pinball Roulette

Pinball roulette is a fun twist on your normal roulette game. As you can probably already guess, this is a game that mixes a roulette wheel with a pinball machine.

There is no user interaction with the bumpers as in a regular pinball game. You bet on the numbers in an identical fashion to a normal roulette game.

Once you place your bet, the ball will be launched and randomly bounce around until it finally settles in 1 or the 38 buckets that are spinning below.

Along with the pinball aspect of the game, you can also risk your winnings and play a bonus game. The bonus game is quite different from the main pinball roulette screen. The ball is launched and you have to accumulate multipliers without landing in the lose area of the bonus pinball screen.
