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.

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 or timeout
occur after the Player placed his/her
bets and before the Player pressed the
'Spin' button, the Player's bets will
be returned to his/her Balance.
Should a disconnection or timeout
occur after the Player placed his/her
bets and pressed 'Spin' and before the
ball landed on a number, the round
will continue.
After connection is re-established the
Player can enter the "History"
page and see the results of the last
round ("History" is
available for Money mode only).
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).
