Round and round the little ball spins, until it drops and you win!
Rushmore Casino Online offers two versions of Roulette via Realtime Gaming: European roulette and American roulette.
Rushmore Casino European Roulette
In European Roulette, a small, white ball spins around a turning wheel with numbered slots that are colored red and black (except for 0, which stands out as the lone green slot). The goal of European Roulette is to predict which color, number, or group of numbers the roulette ball will land and wager accordingly In European Roulette, the roulette wheel has 37 numbered slots, including the 0 slot. This gives the players 1 chance in 37 to bet on a winning number. The American wheel includes the 0 mark, but it also has a 00 mark, raising the odds of that game to 1 in 38. Without the 00 spot found in American roulette, there’s no way in European roulette to be tempted by a five-number bet, the worst possible wager because the odds of winning are stacked so high against a player.
While the numbers look randomly ordered, in fact they are arranged this way so that the odds of landing on high, odd, low or even numbers are evenly distributed, according to mathematical probability. And since this is a “virtual” roulette game, the player has to rely on the software’s random number generator to equalize the chances of winning, unlike a real-life roulette wheel that could be thrown out of balance by mechanical methods.
To place a bet in European Roulette, the player clicks chips to build a bet. Chips come in $1, $5, $25 and $100 amounts. The minimum bet is $1 and the maximum bet is $250. Once the bet amount is established, each time the player click a space on the board, the betting amount will be wagered. If a player wishes to remove a bet from the gaming table, he or she first clicks the “remove” button, then clicks the bet to be taken off the table, and then clicks the “remove” button again to return to betting mode.
Rushmore Casino American Roulette
American Roulette resembles its European cousin with a white ball spinning around a turning table while players wait eagerly for the ball to drop – preferably into the number or color on which they’ve bet! An American roulette wheel consists of 38 different slots, two green segments numbered “0″ and “00″ and all the numbers from 1 to 36, with the odd numbers colored red and the even numbers colored black.
This combination on the American Roulette wheel produces odds of winning that are 1 in 38, rather than the more favorable 1 in 37 odds on a European wheel. Aside from the two green numbers that are placed opposite each other, the numbers 1-36 may look as if they’re arranged randomly, but in fact they’ve been set up to mathematically balance all their aspects: high, low, odd, even.
Unlike the European roulette table, the American table doesn’t have a secondary rank of numbers along the outside to place different kinds of multiple bets. Nonetheless you can place multiple bets according to where you predict the ball will come to a stop.
And while a real-life roulette wheel could be thrown out of balance by any number of mechanical effects, Rushmore Casino’s online game operates according to the random number generator created by Realtime Gaming software. To place a bet in the American Roulette game at Rushmore Casino, the player clicks chips to build the amount of a bet. Chips come in $1, $5, $25 and $100 amounts. The minimum bet is $1 and the maximum bet is $250. Once a player sets the amount of a bet, this amount will be placed each time the player clicks a space on the board. Should a player wish to remove a bet from the gaming table, he or she would first click the “remove” button, click the bet to take it off the table, and then click the “remove” button again to return to betting mode.
