3.3 The Game
3.3.1 Roulette is played on a table which consists of two parts; a wheel and a layout (the table).
3.3.2 The wheel is divided into 37 small pockets around with different numbers next to each hole; the numbers go from 1 to 36 and 0. 18 of the numbers are red. 18 of the numbers are black and 0 is green.
3.3.3 The same numbers appear in order on the table and constitute betting fields, in addition there are also betting fields for red and black, even and odd and a large number of different number combinations.
3.3.4 Players can place bets on one or more numbers and/or combinations. The dealer spins the wheel in one direction and the ball in another direction. The ball will eventually lose speed and fall into one of the pockets, the number the ball hits is the winning number. The camera will then zoom in on the wheel to show the winning number.
3.3.5 How much you win depends on how many possibilities you have covered, the fewer possibilities the bigger the payout. After all bets have been taken or paid, new bets can be placed and the ball is spun again.
The objective in Live Baccarat is to predict whose hand will win by having the value closest to 9.
