COMMON DRAW SINGLE ZERO ROULETTE

Objective

The objective is to predict which number slot on the Roulette wheel that the ball will land on when the wheel stops spinning. The wheel spins at set intervals. Multiple players make bets at the same time, and everyone's results are determined by the same spin.

Single Zero

The Roulette Wheel is marked with numbers 1 through 36, and a 0. The numbers are alternately coloured red and black, and the 0 is green. When the ball lands on 0, half of all even money bets (colour bet, even/odd, high/low) on the table (le partage) are returned.

How to Play

Click on the chip stack to select the desired bet amount. To view the betting limits and payouts, mouse over the card on the table labelled Table Limits and Payouts.

Once you have set your bet amount, click the area(s) of the table where you would like to place bet(s). The appropriate chips will appear on the table.

To remove your bet(s) Shift left click the appropriate bets on the table. The chips will disappear from the table. Click the Repeat Bets button to repeat all of your table bets from the previous spin.

You can make bets up until 10 seconds before the next draw.

Once you have placed your bet(s), click the Confirm Bets button. You can only submit once for each spin, but you can make multiple bet types before submitting. A message will tell you whether your bets were accepted, or if they were rejected because betting was closed for the next spin.

When the ball has stopped in a slot its number will be marked on the table layout with a marker. Any winnings or losses are displayed in the Player Information panel below the Roulette Wheel. If you win, your balance increases and chips are added to your chip tray. Losses are subtracted from your balance.

To place another bet, click on the Clear Table button. For convenience, the value of the last chip clicked on the chip stack is held in memory and can be repeated without returning to the chip stack. Simply click on the desired bet spot to place the chip. Each click on the same bet spot will increase your bet by 1 chip.

Chatting

To "talk" to other players in the game, click on Chat in the bottom left side of the screen to bring up the chat window. The chat window will also broadcast the nicknames of the players who won the spin.

Click in the space marked with >> , type your message, and press Enter or click on Send. You can enter a maximum of 100 characters, including spaces, at one time. There may be a brief delay between when you submit the message and when it shows up.

Use the scroll bar to see previously entered messages. You won't be able to see any messages that were written before you started playing the game.

If you enter a hyperlink in the chat, it will work for you but not for other players.

Offensive Language

The operator of this site can set up a list of offensive words, and if you enter one of these words, you will be able to see it but other players won't. Therefore, you won't be able to know which words are banned and which are not. Please try to keep your comments clean. If another player enters a word that has been banned, you may see something like ****, or it may be replaced by another word.

Chat Bans

Be aware that operators can read all the chat messages and ban you from the chat if you offend someone! If this happens, it will look like your messages are still getting sent, but the system will be blocking your messages as they come through so they aren't displayed to anyone else. You may be banned for a set number of days or permanently.

Disconnections

In the event that your screen goes black and you get a message telling you to reload the game, just click on Ok and the game will reload. You are still in the game and any bets already submitted can still win even if you cannot see the game window temporarily.

Types of Bets

The table is divided into 4 different betting sections:

Inside bets are made in the individual numbers area. Outside Bets are the 12 group bet spaces outside of the individual numbers area

You place Neighbour bets on the oval layout located above the square betting section that houses the inside and outside bets. The oval shows the numbers as they are ordered on the roulette wheel.

The Special Bets pop up menu (located near the bottom left corner of the screen) allows you to select and place popular number-related bets.
