Roulette

Slide your chips onto the felt and set the ball loose on the rim. Thirty-seven pockets — 0 and 1 through 36 — and one of them is about to answer everything you just backed.

Spread out however you like. Sit flat on red or black. Chase a hunch with a straight-up number. Cover a corner, cut a street, block off a dozen, or do all of it in the same round — the full European layout is open to you: straight up, split, street, corner, line, column, dozen, red/black, odd/even and high/low.

Then the payouts do the talking. 35:1 when your straight-up number drops. 17:1 on a split, 11:1 on a street, 8:1 on a corner, 5:1 on a line. 2:1 on a column or a dozen, 1:1 on the even money. One zero instead of two keeps the house edge at a lean 2.70% across every bet on the table — the European wheel, exactly as it should be.

The magic of roulette is the wait. No bonus round to trigger, no feature to unlock, nothing to explain. Just the long slow drop of the ball, the clatter across the frets, and a single number calling out every chip in play at once. Hedge with one hand, gamble with the other, and let the same spin answer both. Every round is provably fair and can be checked afterwards.

Chips down!
