English Roulette

Bet on the right colour and pick your lucky number

English Roulette is a variation of French Roulette, which was invented in the 17th century by Blaise Pascal. It uses the same wheel with 37 pockets numbered 0 to 36 and a similar ball. The difference is in the number of players, limited to 7, and in the Layout, the combinations and the winnings staying the same. Moreover, no one will be put ‘in prison’ if the 0 comes up on the ‘even money’ bets (Red, Black, Even, Odd, Low, High); the player simply loses half the amount of the bet. Finally, each player plays with specially coloured chips which can only be used at the Table, where they are bought from the Croupier.

The game proceeds in the same way. It’s up to you to guess the number and the colour where the ball will stop. To play, you must take a seat around the Table. The game is shaped by the Croupier’s announcements. ‘Place your bets’ to mark the beginning of betting and ‘No more bets’ to announce the end of betting when the ball is still turning in the wheel. When it stops, the winning number and colour are revealed. The Croupier sweeps away the losing bets and distributes the winnings to the victors.
