Introduction to Single Zero Roulette
Single zero roulette is played by spinning a ball on a round wheel with thirty seven numbered slots. The objective of the game is to predict where the ball will come to rest in the spinning wheel. There are 37 individually numbered sections in the wheel, labelled with the numbers 0-36. Bets can be placed on any one of these 37 numbers or on various groups of numbers displayed on the table. By predicting the right number, you earn a return on your bet. The size of the payoff depends on how the bet was placed.
The theoretical return to player of this game is 97.38%.
Over a long period of time, the game is likely to average a return to the Player of 97.34% of the total bets made.
Participation Instructions
The Player's chips are stacked by denomination at the bottom right of the game window. To place a bet, the Player must move the cursor to the pictures of the chips and left-click the chip value that they want to use. The Player must then move the cursor to the positions on the table layout that they want to place bets and left-click in each of those positions. The system will not let the Player place a chip unless it is a valid bet position. Chips will automatically appear underneath the cursor. The bet amount will also appear at the lower left of the window. Each left-click with the cursor in the same position will increase the bet by one chip of the same value, up to the maximum bet for that position.
DOUBLE bet button will enable player to double up all the unconfirmed bets which have been placed on the table. Any bet which has been placed and confirmed will not be doubled.
If the Player wants to change to a different chip value, they must move the cursor back to the pictures of the chips at the lower right corner of the game window on the screen and left-click on the new chip value that they want to use. Then move the cursor back to the table layout and left-click as before to place bets.
To remove all bets from the table layout, left-click the CLEAR BETS button. To remove the last bet from the table layout, left click the UNDO button. Note both CLEAR BETS and UNDO can only be done before the CONFIRM BET button has been left-clicked. If the CLEAR BETS is left-clicked, then these bets will NOT be confirmed and NOT taken into the Player's account.
To replace the same bets as made for the previous spin, left-click the RE-BET button .
Players must place their bets before the 45 seconds Betting Timer at the right section of the screen expires. Betting is not allowed once the Betting Timer has expired.
All bets are confirmed and taken into the Player's account once the CONFIRM BET button is left-clicked. Any bets placed after the CONFIRM BET button has been left-clicked but before the Betting Timer has expired must be followed by the CONFIRM BET button being left-clicked. If this is not done, then these additional bets will NOT be confirmed and NOT taken into the Player's account.
If the Player places bets that are lower than the minimum bet limitation and left-clicks the CONFIRM BET button, an alert window will appear to offer the Player two options: top up and confirm or return to game. By left-clicking the TOP UP & CONFIRM button, the PLAYER can top up every invalid bet to the corresponding minimum limitation and subsequently all bets are confirmed and taken into the Players' account. By left-clicking the RETURN TO GAME button, the Player will return to the current bet options without any bets being confirmed.

The system will show the winning number and all winning bets will be highlighted on the table layout with a marker. Winning bets will have a marker chip placed on top of them. All losing bets will be collected and all winning bets paid. If a bet is a winner, the Player's winnings will be posted to the Player's credit balance and updated in the credits display upon selecting their next game or upon returning to the Lobby.
The history of the previous winning numbers is displayed in a window on the top left of the Player's screen. There are three different coloured numbers in the history table.
