Safari Casino
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.
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.
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. The amount wagered per hand may be
increased or decreased by placing the mouse on the stack that you
wish to add or subtract from your bet. Each time you click the
left mouse button you will add a chip from that pile to your
planned wager amount. Likewise by clicking on the right mouse
button you can decrease your planned wager amount. You may repeat
your last bet by simply hitting the "0" button on your
numeric keyboard or clicking on the ReBet button. Other numeric
keyboard shortcuts are summarized below.
To place a bet in
Roulette, place your chips on the table as described above.
Depending on where you choose to place your chips, you can
"cover" (bet on) anywhere from one to eighteen numbers
with a single bet.
You can spin the
roulette wheel by pressing the "Spin" button in the
bottom center part 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 bets 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 number:
zero, double zero, one, two and three. |
|
| 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.
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.
