Similar to the European variation of Roulette, in the game of American Roulette players wager on either a single number or a range of numbers, the colours red or black, or whether the number is odd or even. To determine the winning number and colour, a croupier spins the Roulette wheel in one direction and a ball in the opposite direction around the numbered track of the Roulette wheel. The ball eventually falls into one of 38 numbered and coloured pockets on the wheel (0, 00 and 1 to 36).
The same Inside and Outside Bets found in European Roulette are also available at American Roulette tables. Inside Bets are bets on numbers straight up or on a line between numbers that select a combination of numbers. Outside Bets are any of the bets in the boxes surrounding the numbers on the table.
To place Inside and Outside Bets:
All of the special features available in the game are located in the Advanced Panel. To open the panel, click on the Advanced tab in top right corner of the game screen.
Neighbour Bets allow players to wager on numbers that appear next to a certain number on the Roulette wheel. For example, a 1-number Neighbour Bet on 12 would include 12 as well as 29, the neighbouring number on the left, and 8, the neighbouring number on the right. Players can place up to 4-number Neighbour Bets (four numbers that appear adjacent to a number on the left and on the right sides).
To place Neighbour Bets:
The Neighbour Bets window will always showcase the five numbers that have won the greatest number of rounds (Hot) and the five numbers that have won the least number of rounds (Cold). Players can quickly and easily bet on one or all five Hot or Cold Numbers from the panel. Every number on the Roulette wheel is categorized by a level of 'hotness' or 'coldness'. This is illustrated on the wheel in the Neighbours window by designated colours that fill the pie-shaped space below each number on the Roulette wheel.
The autoplay feature allows you to automatically play a chosen number of successive game rounds without having to place your bets and click on the Spin button each time.
