Introduction
Roulette, the most popular casino game in Europe allows you to select your level of risk and reward. Try to predict a specific number for a very big award. Reduce your risk by betting on several numbers, either with separate wagers or with a wager that covers multiple numbers.
Additionally, you can play even-money payout wagers where you try to spot trends between red or black, odd or even, high or low. Or bet somewhere in the middle by trying to predict which column or which section of rows the ball will land in.
With French Roulette, you have even more wagering options. Many players enjoy betting on a contiguous section of the wheel. Neighbour bets allow you to wager on 5 contiguous numbers on the wheel with one click. French Bets allow you to wager on larger wheel sections with one click.

How to Play
The goal in Roulette is to anticipate where the ball will land in the wheel and to place bets accordingly.
Place one or more bets and then click SPIN to start the game. When the ball lands on a number in the wheel, if you have a bet covering that number, you win.
The outcome will be shown as the top number on the outcome history display, at the right of the game screen. A marker will also be placed on the Number Board at the winning position. Any losing wagers will be cleared from the table. Any winning wagers will be paid according to the pay table. Your winning wagers are displayed on the table for a period of time and then cleared.

How to Wager
To play, begin by selecting a chip at the bottom of the playing field. Each chip value represents a number of credits in the denomination that you selected when you launched the game.
After you have selected a chip value, you may place wagers on the Number Board. As you move your mouse across the Number Board, you will see the corresponding award payout ratios displayed in a window at the top of the playing field. (See Standard Bet Types and Special Bets for more details.)
To place a wager, click the mouse on the chosen wager spot. Each click adds another chip of the selected value to the stack. The total wager on that spot is displayed on the top chip of the stack, as well as in the window that displays the award payout ratio.
To remove a wager from a spot, you may press the SHIFT key on the keyboard while clicking the mouse. If you want to remove all wagers from the board, you may do so by clicking the CLEAR button.
If you wish to repeat your last wager after completing a game, and have sufficient credits to do so, click the REBET button. This restores your previous wagers. If you wish, you can adjust any wager. You still need to click the SPIN button to initiate play.
The DOUBLE BET button doubles your current wager every time you click it. If doubling your current wager would cause a bet limit to be exceeded (see Bet Limits below), then the DOUBLE BET button will not be available. If you click the DOUBLE BET button when no wager is yet placed, this is equivalent to first clicking the REBET button and then the DOUBLE BET button and will place wager(s) twice as large as your prior wager(s). You still need to click the SPIN button to initiate play.

Special Bets
Neighbour and French Bets allow you to wager upon sections of the wheel with a single click. Both types of wagers are initiated on the "racecourse" on the lower left corner of the screen below the wheel. The numbers on the racecourse represent the order of the numbers on the wheel itself.
Neighbour and French bets are a convenient way to make multiple Number Board wagers, corresponding to sections of the wheels. The wagers themselves are placed on the Number Board and are subject to table minimum limits and table maximum limits. (See Bet Limits for more details.) If a racecourse bet would otherwise cause a bet limit to be exceeded, then that racecourse bet would not be available.
Neighbour Bets:
Neighbour bets allow you to place wagers on any five contiguous numbers on the wheel. Move the cursor over a number on the racecourse to highlight that number as well it's two neighbours to the left and the its two neighbours to the right. This highlighting will occur both on the racecourse as well as on the corresponding numbers on the Number Board. If you click on a number on the racecourse, you will place a wager of the selected chip value on each of the corresponding five numbers. These wagers will be placed on the Number Board, not on the racecourse.
For example, if the 1 credit chip is selected and you click the 0 spot on the racecourse this will place five separate wagers on the Number Board: 1 credit each on 0 and of its two left neighbours (26 and 3) and its two right neighbours (32 and 15).
If you change your mind, you may click the SHIFT key on the keyboard while clicking the mouse on the number on racecourse to clear all corresponding wagers from the Number Board.
French Bets:
French Bets place wagers across an established section of the wheel. Move the cursor over a French Bet area within the racecourse to see all of the numbers associated with that bet. This highlighting will occur both on the racecourse as well as on the corresponding numbers on the Number Board. If you click a French Bet within the racecourse, you will place a wager of the selected chip value on each of the corresponding set of numbers. These wagers will be placed on the Number Board, not on the racecourse.
Voisins
This is a shortened version of "Voisins du Zero", which stands for "neighbours of zero". This section, at the left side of the racecourse interior, covers all of the contiguous numbers on the wheel from 22 to 25 inclusive. This is done using 9 wagers of the selected chip size:
|
Tiers
This is a shortened version of "Tiers du Cylindre", which stands for "third of the wheel". This section, at the right side of the racecourse interior, covers all of the contiguous numbers on the wheel from 27 to 33 inclusive using 6 wagers of the selected chip size:
|
|
Also known as the Orphans, this section covers those sectors of the wheel not covered by Voisins or Tiers. Located in the center of the racecourse, this covers two sections: 17 to 6 inclusive and 1 to 9 inclusive using 5 wagers of the selected chip size:

|
Bet Limits
The table minimum limits and table maximum limits are listed on the table felt. If the minimum table bet is larger than a single chip, then you may make single chip bets as long as the total of all wagers meets the table minimum.
There is a maximum wager limit for each type of bet, as well as an overall table maximum limit. The limit for a bet on an individual spot is a fraction of the overall table maximum limit - for single number bets the maximum wager limit is one twentieth of the table limit, for multi-number bets you may bet up to one twentieth of the table limit for every number included in your position. The following table describes the maximum bet for each bet opportunity.
