The
Rules of Roulette
|
The
Roulette game was invented
in Europe in the 17th
century, over 300 years
ago, which makes it the
oldest casino game still
being played. For centuries
the patrons of casinos
the world over have been
fascinated by this game.
The Roulette wheel is
divided into 37 segments
on the 'French wheel'
(or 'European Wheel')
and 38 on the 'American
wheel' (our casino has
the European Roulette,
which has one zero). These
are numbered 1-36 with
a single zero on the French
Roulette and a double
zero on the American Roulette.
The segments are colored
red and black alternately,
starting with the red
number one. The zero and
the double zero segments
are both colored green.
A ball is flicked in a
clockwise direction around
the outer rim of the Roulette
wheel, which is spinning
in a counterclockwise
direction. The object
of the game is to bet
on the number on which
the ball will eventually
land.
Numbers that match those
on the wheel are arranged
on the Roulette table
in 3 columns of 12 numbers.
Your stake is placed on
the table and is considered
either an outside bet
or an inside bet.
The BeTheDealer Roulette
is unique in that you
can choose to play with
other live players just
like in a real casino.
We feature private as
well as public tables.
On a public table there
are up to two players
simultaneously - one player
plays as the "Dealer"
and the other plays as
the "Player". On a private
table you play alone against
a System dealer. In short,
you may choose to play
against a System dealer,
or you may choose to play
against a Real player,
with whom you can switch
roles as either Dealer
or as Player. In the Roulette
game the player places
a bet on a number, color,
odds or a group of numbers
on the Roulette table.
The Roulette ball is spun,
and winnings are determined
by the slot on the Roulette
wheel where the ball makes
a final stop. The amount
of the payoff depends
on how the bet was placed.
Playing the BeTheDealer
Roulette game is very
simple. The table is identical
to those found in casinos
around the world. Our
Roulette table is marked
with the numbers "0" and
"1-36" (we do not have
a "00"). The numbers are
alternately colored red
and black with "0" colored
green. The player begins
by clicking and placing
chips on the desired areas
on the table. Every betting
option (either an Inside
Bet or an Outside Bet)
is highlighted when the
mouse cursor is on it.
Once the 'Spin' button
has been pressed the wheel
is spun and when the ball
falls on a number - winnings
are automatically added
to your bankroll.

of intentional disconnections

the Player's bets will
be returned to his/her

will continue.

Playing
as Dealer
|
BeTheDealer
Casino offers you the
unique option of playing
the role of the Dealer.
This option increases
your chances of winning,
since you gain some of
the favorable odds reserved
for the casino. At the
end of every round the
casino takes a commission
of 1.5% of the total bets
bet against the Dealer.
Example
A Dealer chooses to play
in Table II. This means
that the Dealer meets
the minimum requirements
for playing in this table
type: a minimum of 850
Credit Points and a minimum
balance of $360. The system
then matches a Player
to the Dealer and after
the Dealer 'Approves'
the next round, the Player
places his/her bets on
the table. Let's say the
Player places $1 on "14",
$5 on "23", $5 on the
corner of "16,17,19,20"
and $5 on "Red" for a
total bet of $16. The
Player spins the roulette
and the number "7" comes
out. The Player loses
$11 on his inside number
bets and wins $5 on his
outside bet, since "7"
is Red.
All in all, the Player
loses 11-5 = $6. Since
the total bet against
the Dealer was $16, the
casino takes a commission
of 1.5%*16 = $0.24, which
means the Dealer wins
6-0.24 = $5.76 on this
round. The casino's edge
over the player in Roulette
is 2.7% (bear in mind
that this 2.7% is how
the casino makes a profit
on the Roulette) so as
the Dealer you actually
gain an edge of 1.2%.
Minimum Credit
Points and Balance
You can play as Dealer
once you have accumulated
enough Credit Points and
in addition you need to
have enough money in your
Balance, according to
the game's limits described
in the Game Options page.
The Minimum Balance required
is a bit higher than the
total winnings of the
Player in a given round,
which are: 2 * (Maximum
Bet outside) + 156 * (Maximum
Bet inside, per cell)
+ (Casino commission =
1.5%) *[ (Maximum Bet
outside) + 12 * (Maximum
Bet inside, per cell)
]
Game
Options
"Approve" Button
/ 'Auto-Approve' Feature
When playing as Dealer,
before each round commences
you must 'Approve' the
next round. After you
approve the round, the
Player can place his/her
bets and play the round.
The 'Auto-Approve' feature
lets you automatically
approve the next rounds,
without having to approve
every round individually.
Disconnections
Communication problems
over the Internet may
cause sudden disconnections.
We have designed our software
to cope with such incidents
in a manner that our clients
will be protected from
unjustifiable loss, while
eliminating the possibility
of intentional disconnections
and/or system abuse.
Should a disconnection
occur after the Dealer
pressed the 'Approve'
button, play will continue
until the Player has finished
his turn. This has no
effect on the Dealer,
since the Dealer is played
automatically according
to the rules of the game.
After connection is re-established
the Dealer can enter the
"History" page and see
the results of the last
round ("History" is available
for Money mode only).
