The roulette is a relatively simple game that allows the player to win a significant sum. The ball rotates around a circle, which is divided into 37 or 38 numbered sectors, and stops randomly in one of them. The 37 number variant is called European roulette and has number 0 through 36, the 38 number is American and has numbers 00, 0, 1 …36. Moreover, the differences between American and European variants are not limited with the amount of sectors on the wheel (see below). The task of the player is to guess the sector that the ball will stop at in the next spin, and place his bet accordingly. (If you are already familiar with the rules you can skip the next chapter and read the instructions to the virtual play mode only).

For example: when the player bet on 7 on the racetrack, he makes 5 strakes at once for 20cents on the 7 and its adjacent numbers - 28, 12, 29 and 18.

The player gets back the winning bets and has the win according to the following payouts, with regarding to the total bet on Voisin:
