Common Draw European Roulette Guide at CelticCasino.com

Roulette has its origins set in the England of the 1700s from a game named Roly Poly. This game had white and black dots without numbers. The French made a redesign in the late 1700's to add numbers. The initial American Roulette wheels had thirty one numbers with a zero, double zero, and a third number zero that was represented by an American eagle. Now days, the European wheels have only one zero and the American wheels usually have a zero and a double zero. Both the European and American wheels now have thirty six numbers.

Roulette is one of the most famous casino games in all of Europe.

You can usually have up to eight players that play against the house that is represented by the dealer, who moves the roulette wheel and manages the bets and payoffs. The European wheel has thirty seven spaces for thirty six numbers and one zero.

The common draw roulette is a game for multiple players. The players that are connected to the casino game see the exact same table. But, you cannot see where the rest of the players placed their bets. All the players have sixty second to make and confirm their wagers before the roulette wheel spins and the ball falls. Every player is able to see where the ball falls.

Basic Rules of Common Draw Roulette

To play in our roulette, you put your wager on the numbers in the roulette table or on the available betting boxes. The wheel spins on intervals of sixty seconds before the ball falls on certain space on the wheel.

There is a timer located above the window that times the games and signals the two distinct levels of the game.

Green Timer, every fifty seconds, where every player can put their wagers on the table and activate their wagers.

Red Timer, ten seconds before the ball initiates its spin, where every player have to accept their wagers, and cannot change the bet while waiting for the results.

The common draw version does not choose when the game starts, but, plays with the remainder of the players at the same time on line. Again, the player can only see his/her own wagers.

Only wagers that are confirmed by the player are valid wagers: you put your chips on the roulette table and once you have chosen your wager, confirm the wager by clicking the "Confirm Bets" button.

Once you have confirmed your wager, the player cannot do any bet changes, but, can only wait for the ending of the game.

Before the ball falls, in the last ten seconds, no additional wagers are permitted and no changes can be done to the wagers that have been made. Once the ball has fallen on the winning number and every wager has been collected from the table, can the player commence to put the new wagers while the croupier does the payout to the winners.

Those whose wagers were on the winning numbers or in the selected combinations to that number are the winners.

There are various types of roulette wagers. Every wager has a different case of numbers and a different set-up, as displayed in the section of "Winnings Table."

You can wager on any number, even the zero, by putting the chip on top of the number on the roulette table.

You can wager on two numbers by putting a chip on the line that separates the two numbers.

You can wager on three numbers by putting a chip on the inside left line of the table, by the three numbers with the corresponding row.

You may wager on four numbers by putting a chip at the border where the four numbers collide.

You may wager on the numbers zero, double zero, three, two, and one by putting your chip on the inside left line in between the one and zero.

You may wager on two street wagers. For example, the six various numbers found in two rows of three numbers, by putting a chip on the inside left line located where the line that divides the two rows meets it.

There are three sections marked as "2 to 1" at the bottom portion of a column with numbers. You can put wagers for all of these numbers by putting a chip in one of these sections. If any of the number in the column you selected wins, you get a payout of two to one with the zero and double zero being losing numbers.

You can wager on a bunch of twelve numbers by putting a chip in one of the three sections marked: "3^rd 12," "2^nd 12," "1^st 12." If any of your twelve numbers is the winner, you will get a payout of two to one with the zero and the double zeros being losing numbers.

Red/Black, Even/Odd, Low/High Bets

You can put a wager in one of the sections located on the left, long corner of the table that has half of the roulette numbers, not counting zero and double zero. Each section has eighteen numbers. You win equal money on a ratio of one to one on every one of these wagers with the zero and double zero being losing numbers.

You may wager with nine chips placed in this way: two chips on three numbers 3-2-0 and two numbers 29-25, and one chip on every one of the following splits: 32-35/22-19/18-21/12-15/4-7

You may wager with five chips placed this way: One chip on every one of the following splits: 31-34/17-20/14-17/6-9 and one chip on the one.

You may wager with six chips in the following way: Only one chip on every one of the following splits: 33-36/27-30/23-24/13-16/10-11/5-8.

Winning Number Display

The "winning number" shown displays the results of the thirteen previous spins.

(*) NOTE: You may put the wagers that include two, three, or even four numbers. For example, with the zero, you may put wagers on: 1+0, 1+2+0, 2+0, 3+0, or 1+2+3+0.

The Game play Sequence

All of our games are played by entering the game, selecting table limits, wagering, playing, and looking at the result for your bet and game play options. We will describe these levels of game play and tell you all the necessary information for you to become a great player.

Here are the descriptions for every part of the game play action:

Starting the game: After you chose a game from the casino game menu, a screen will pop up.

This is the game screen. You will have the game table, buttons, and the game console.

Choosing the table limits: Before you begin a game you could be shown with a window that offers you three options for the table limits. These are the table limits that affect your betting since you cannot bet more than the maximum or less than the minimum. These table limits affect ALL bet zones. In blackjack, the table limits affect every bet location individually. If you are not asked to choose a betting limit the game has been given a limit by the online casino and is shown on the table's plaque.

Placing your bet: Once you have chosen your limits for the table, the limits screen will be taken off (the table limits will still be shown on the table's plaque to the right corner of the chip section on the table). On the left corner, on the bottom of the table there are a bunch of chips, every chip with a different value shown in its surface. On the table, there are many bet zones. These zones are demonstrated with lighter circles. In several games you may move the mouse to look at the various bet zones.

To place a bet press on the desired chip, then press in the bet zone. The selected chip will appear in the bet zone. The quantity on the chip will be subtracted from your Balanced and placed with your bet.

To remove a bet, control-click on the chosen chip (click and hold the control button and then press on the chip). The chip will be withdrawn from the table, and the chip's value will be subtracted from your Bet and placed back with your balance.

Deal/Roll/Spin: According to the game that you are playing, you have to begin the game play by clicking the deal, roll, or spin icons. These icons will be found in the middle of the table. When you click the button, the dealer will draw the initial cards, spin the roulette wheel, or spin the sic bo tumbler to commence the game.

Game play: The way the game progresses is based on the individual game being played. Games like Blackjack have a game progression that goes through several stages that makes the player to choose amongst many plays. Other games, such as Baccarat, only have one stage where the cards are drawn and the player either wins or loses.
