What you've got here is a combination of animation and a graphics package with the workmanship engineered by Playtech, and designed to simulate the casino experience in a way that is the most accurate possible in the online environment.
When you play it, you'll learn a little French too, so pay attention.
Most people are keenly aware that there are two different versions of the game of roulette. In the American version, the roulette wheel is equipped with both the zero (0) and double zero (00). In the European version, there is only the single zero. So what does this mean to you? Well, in the European game, there is more of a chance of a red or a black number coming up on the wheel, which consists of 37 possibilities - the numbers from 1 to 36 in addition to the zero. French roulette, as you're probably guessing, is closest to the European version.
The object of the roulette game, from your standpoint (the player's) is to select the wager within the game layout, whether that wager is a single number, a series of numbers, or a proposition that represents a group of numbers, that will be represented by the result of a spin of the wheel.
There are terms you may wind up learning that are particular to French roulette. For example, "Pair" is an even bet, while "Impair" is for odd number bets; "Manque" represents the "low" numbers from 1-18, while "Passe" means the high numbers (from 19 to 36).
In your chip tray you have denominations of .01, .10, $1, $5, $10, $25, and $100, and you simply point and click (or more accurately, click and point) to get those bets on the table, clicking multiple times on a betting option to get more of them into a game.
When the wheel is spinning, you are not going to get such a good look at it from the long view. However, there is an inset which gives you a close-up look at where the virtual "ball" is going and where it winds up.
Here are some of the bets that are available in French roulette that you may have heard of before:
* Voisins de Zero - This puts a bet on zero (0), and also nine numbers to the left of zero and seven numbers to the right of zero as they appear on the roulette wheel. The payouts can vary, depending on which number winds up winning.
* Orphans - This paces a bet on the numbers 1, 6, 9, 14, 17, 20, 31 and 34. When numbers are next to each other on the rectangular layout, they share a split bet.
* Neighbors - Places a bet on a number as represented on the table, not to mention the two numbers both to the left and right of that table on the roulette wheel. This pays off at 35-1.
Also, you should know about the "La Partage" rule, in which if the wheel comes up zero, you lose only 50% of any even money (outside) bet you make. Remember, the even money bets are those where you are betting on 18 numbers at once, where it be Red/Black (Rouge/Noir), Even/Odd (Pair/Impair), or Low/High (Manque/Passe). |
