ELECTRONIC ENGLISH ROULETTE

Although the rules are similar to those of its illustrious predecessor, electronic English Roulette nevertheless does have some particularities. First of all, multiple gaming stations and touch screens surround the automated wheel or face a giant screen onto which the Roulette wheel is projected. The Layout, similar in every respect to that of the traditional game, is virtual and is duplicated on each screen. Everything is completely automated, with messages appearing on your computer to guide you through the different stages of the game. When they say ‘Place your bets’, you can bet by touching the squares, your stakes remaining hidden from the other players. Then, when ‘No more bets’ is announced, you can no longer change where you have placed your chips.  

To preserve the role of chance, the software for electronic English Roulette randomly determines the strength of the blast of air that throws the ball, as well as the speed at which the wheel spins. The results appear instantly and simultaneously on your computer and on the giant screen located in the centre or on the wall. If your bet is a winner, your account is automatically credited. If you want to stop playing, all you have to do is press the ‘Payment’ button to collect your winnings.

As with traditional English Roulette, there are two types of bet.

The inside bets have higher payouts but longer odds. To make these bets, place your virtual chips:

• Straight-up: on a single number. The winnings are 35 x the wager.
• Split: on 2 numbers. The winnings are 17 x the wager.
• Top line: on the 1st vertical line, covering 3 numbers. The winnings are 11 x the wager.
• Corner: on 4 numbers that meet at a corner. The winnings are 8 x the wager.
• Six line: on 6 consecutive numbers that form 2 horizontal lines of 3 numbers. The winnings are 5 x the wager.

The outside bets, which are easier to win as they include more numbers, have lower payouts. In this case, place your virtual chips on:
• Even money: Red, Black, Even, Odd, Low or High. The winnings are 1 x the wager.
• Other bets:
• Dozens or on the line between 2 dozens when 24 numbers are played. The winnings are double the wager for the dozen and ½ the wager for the split dozens, i.e. 24 numbers played.
• Column, at the bottom of one of the three vertical columns, i.e. 12 numbers, or on the line between 2 columns when 24 numbers are played. The winnings are double the wager for the column and ½ the wager for the split columns, i.e. 24 numbers played.

Be careful! Here the rules are different from those of French Roulette: When the 0 comes up, even money bets lose half of their value. The affected player will only get back half the wager.
