Roulette: European roulette at the Queen of Hearts' table

About Roulette

This is European roulette, the single-zero kind, set up at the Queen of Hearts' table. The wheel has all 37 pockets in the classic order — 0, 32, 15, 19, 4, 21… — and the layout has every bet a real casino offers: straight up, split, street, corner, six line, dozen, column, red and black, even and odd, 1 to 18 and 19 to 36. You sit down with $2,000 in play money and can put up to $500 on the table each round, counting every chip on the layout. The number comes from a fair draw the moment you hit SPIN; the 3D wheel just shows the ball getting there, bouncing over the frets until it settles. When it stops, a gold heart marks the number on the layout, the winning bets light up and your balance counts up what you won. If you can't cover the $5 chip, the night is over; CASH OUT ends the night whenever you want and takes your balance to the top-five board.

In Selminha's words

“Roulette is the casino game everyone recognizes from across the room — the ball rattling around the track, the wheel spinning, the dealer calling no more bets. I wanted that whole moment on screen, no shortcuts: a 3D wheel in lacquered wood, with the ball racing around, hitting the diamonds and hopping over the frets until it settles. I went with European roulette, the single-zero wheel, which is the fairest of them all, and put in the full layout with every bet you can make at a real table. For anyone learning, the table tells you each bet's name and what it pays the moment your chip lands — you pick it up as you play.”

How to play Roulette and what each bet pays

1. Pick a chip at the bottom — 5, 25, 100 or 500 — and tap the layout where you want to bet. Every tap adds one more chip.
2. The middle of a number is a straight up. The line between two numbers is a split; the corner where four meet is a corner bet. The outer edge next to 1, 4, 7 holds the street (three numbers) and the six line (six).
3. The outside boxes cover lots of numbers at once: dozens, columns (2 TO 1), red, black, even, odd, 1–18 and 19–36.
4. When a chip lands, the bet's name and what it pays show up on screen. The most you can have on the table is $500 a round.
5. UNDO takes back the last chip, CLEAR takes them all, and DOUBLE doubles what's on the layout. After a spin, REBET puts your last bet back down.
6. SPIN sends the ball. When it stops, the gold heart marks the number, the table takes the losing chips, pays the winning ones and hands it all to your balance; the plate shows the round result (what you won or lost, or BROKE EVEN). NEW ROUND clears the layout; CASH OUT asks first and ends the night with whatever you have.

The bets and what they pay

Straight up — 35 to 1

One number, with the chip in the middle of its box. It's the biggest payout on the table.

Split — 17 to 1

Two numbers next to each other on the layout, with the chip on the line between them. Zero with 1, 2 or 3 counts too.

Street — 11 to 1

A row of three numbers, with the chip on the outer edge (the 1, 4, 7 side). The trios with zero — 0, 1, 2 or 0, 2, 3 — pay the same.

Corner — 8 to 1

Four numbers that meet at a corner. The first four (0, 1, 2 and 3) also pay 8 to 1.

Six line — 5 to 1

Two rows in a row, six numbers, with the chip on the outer edge between them.

Dozen and column — 2 to 1

Twelve numbers at once: the 1st, 2nd or 3rd dozen, or one of the three columns (the 2 TO 1 boxes).

Red, black, even, odd, 1–18 and 19–36 — 1 to 1

Half the layout at once, minus the zero. It pays the same as your bet.

The rules at this table

A single zero

This is European roulette: 37 pockets, 0 through 36. The American wheel adds a 00, which makes it cost players almost twice as much.

Every bet runs on the same math

Each bet pays 36 divided by how many numbers it covers, minus 1. That's why a straight up pays 35 and red pays 1.

The zero belongs to the house

When zero hits, the outside bets (color, even, odd, halves, dozens and columns) lose. That's where the house edge comes from: 2.7% of everything bet, on any bet.

Money and limits

You sit down with $2,000 in play money. The smallest chip is $5, and the most you can have on the table is $500 a round, counting every chip on the layout.

A fair draw

The number comes from the browser's own random number generator the moment you hit SPIN. The wheel shows the ball getting there; nobody picks the result.

Controls on phone and computer

Computer

Tap the chips and the layout to bet · SPACE spins the wheel · ⌫ undoes the last chip · ↑ ↓ ← → move between buttons · ENTER selects · ESC pauses · M turns the sound on and off

Touch

Phone upright and full screen: the layout stands upright with the zero at the top, and the wheel comes up big over it when you spin. On a tablet the table follows the way you're holding it and never asks you to rotate; held sideways, the wheel stays in view next to the layout.

What the table shows you

Every bet's name

When a chip lands, the table tells you which bet it is and what it pays. On a computer, just hover over a box to see the numbers it covers.

The gold heart

After the spin, a gold heart with the number sits on the winning pocket's box, like the dealer's marker, and the winning bets light up.

The last 10 numbers

A card shows the last ten numbers that came up, newest first, each one printed in its own color. They don't change the odds of the next spin: the wheel has no memory.
