American Roulette (multi-player)

Rule Authority:

InterCasino multi-player 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 with a small ball that spins round on a wheel that has 38 numbered slots. Once the wheel stops spinning the ball will come to rest within one of these slots. The objective of the game is to predict correctly the slot in which the ball will land. If the player predicts the right number then they win a payoff on their bet. The value of the payoff depends on the how the bet was placed.

How to Play:

Betting:

Your chips are stacked by their denomination ($1, $5, $25, $100, $500) at the bottom of the screen, which is displayed above the game menu. To select the amount that you would like to wager on a specific hand you must click on the left mouse button on the chip of that denomination. This activates that chip denomination, and then you must place your bet on the table by clicking on the BET FIELD. TO specify a bet that is not equal to an existing chip denomination then you can click simply on another chip denomination after placing your first chip on the table. E.G. to bet $30, you would first click on the $25 chip and place it on to the table, and then click on the $5 chip and place it on top of the $25 chip. You can also repeat your last bet by simply clicking on the '0' button of the numeric keyboard. Other shortcuts are summarized below.

Depending on where you decide to place your chips, you are able to 'cover' (bet on) anywhere from 1 to 18 numbers on a single bet. If you place a wager that is lower than the minimum table bet limit then a pop-up box will appear asking you to adjust your amount.

You can then spin the roulette wheel by clicking on the 'SPIN' button, which is in the bottom left hand corner of the screen, or you can click on the roulette wheel. The history of the previous winning numbers is displayed in a table, which is above the Game Menu. There are three differing colored number within the history table: yellow means that they belong to the black set of numbers, the red means they belong to the red set of number, and the green colored numbers are either '0' or '00'. The pass button may also be used to spin the wheel without placing a bet onto the table.

You are able to place nine different kinds of bets onto the Roulette Table. Each type of bet covers a range of numbers on the wheel, and each type has its own payoff rate. The short lines of three numbers each are called rows on the boards, and the longer lines that hold twelve are called columns. The initial six types of bet are all made on the numbered space or on the lines between them, which are called inside bets. The last three types of bet are made on the special boxes below and to the right of the board, and these are called outside bets.

The different types and payoffs for each bet type are summarized below:

Bet Type	Explanation

Straight Up	The player must place their chips directly on any single number (including zero and double-zero).
Split Bet	The player must place their chips on the line between any two numbers.
Street Bet	The player must place their chips at the end of any row of numbers. A street bet covers three numbers
Corner Bet	The player must place their chips at the corner where four numbers meet. All four numbers are covered.
Five Bet	This bet can only be made in one place and covers five numbers: zero, double zero, one, two and three. The player must place their chips at the end of the row between the numbers 00 and 3.
Line Bet	The player must place their chips at the end of two rows at the intersection between them. A line bet then covers all of 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 of the 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 all of those twelve numbers.
A chip placed in one of the six boxes at the bottom of the board covers that half of the board that is described in that box. (The zero and double zero are not covered by any of these boxes.) Each of the boxes covers eighteen numbers.

Winning bets have a 'W' chip that is placed on them. Bets on a red, black, off, even, 1-18 and also 19-36 will have a '1/2' chip placed on them if a zero or double zero is rolled. This shows that the bet is returned to the player in accordance with the zero and double-zero rules.

Zero or Double Zero rule:

After the ball lands on 'zero' or 'double zero', the wagers on the red, black, odd, even, 1 to 18, and 19 to 36 are not completely lost. Instead, each player that has made one of these bets will lose only half of the original bet amount. E.G, if a player has placed a bet of $10 on red and a double -zero is then rolled, the player will only lose $5 of their bet, and will also be able to remove the other $5 from the table.

Payoffs:

Bet	Payoff

1 Number	35 to 1
2 Numbers	17 to 1
3 Numbers	11 to 1
4 Numbers	8 to 1
5 Numberss	6 to 1
6 Numbers	5 to 1
12 Numbers	2 to 1
18 Numbers	1 to 1

Please also note the zero and double-zero rules above.

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 to 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 you must type in the new limit in the appropriate box, and then 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 playing at the time of changing the limit.

Chatting:

To begin chatting, click on the Chat button at the bottom left-hand corner of the game console. A chat window will pop-up in the top-left hand corner of the game console. You may chat with others at the table by typing in a message in the chat window and pressing Send. Your message and the messages of others will appear in the top part of the game window. The actual location depends on your seating position. If you prefer not to chat, you may close the chat window by clicking on the "x" button in the top right hand corner of the chat window. You may reopen the chat window at any time by clicking on "Chat" in the top menu bar.
