There is a considerable difference between classic and automatic
roulette such in the visual sense and in the sense of working.
Three main advantages of automatic roulette are:
•
There is no need for croupier or other
special staff
•
The game time is four times faster than game
cycle of classic roulette – that results in higher pay-in
and for this reason the higher profit of casino
•
Automated roulette is a perfect solution for
players trying to experience the game in a more private
environment
The demand for that kind of experience is increasing which is
also shown in the trend of casinos that traded some of the
classic roulettes with automated ones and in that way expanded
their offer
Automatic roulettes are easy to understand and easy to play.
Players who are not familiar with electronic roulette game can
use the quick help menu, where they can find the rules and bet
limits of the gaming machine. The game rules, betting and
winning options are the same as in classic roulette game.
Automated roulettes do not reduce the pleasure, as players still
remain the part of the game.
The whole system is based on a very powerful central computer
running on WINDOWS XP environment which communicates with
playing stations through USB v2.0 communication protocol. It
means that playing stations are independent and have no
influence on each other. One computer controls and manages all
system functions, all consoles, and mechanics.
Game cycle lasts about one and a half minute. It starts when the
roulette voice croupier announces: “Lay your bets, please”.
Compressed air launches the ball in the roulette cylinder.
During this time players can place their bets, until the rolling
of the ball slows down which is perceived by the rim sensors
placed in the cylinder’s rim. The voice croupier announces: “No
more bets”.
Ball stops in one of numbered pockets and two independent
systems of improved optical sensors read the number. Then
computer calculates wins and losses depending on bets value.
After that the game continues.
You need initial credit in order to start the game. It can be
inserted in different ways:
• Bill acceptor
• Electronic smart card by the attendant
• Through external “cash desk” computer
By pressing on foil keyboard you place your bets. You can see
the combination of your bets on the screen in front of you. With
additional buttons on the keyboard you can play faster and
easier. You can multiply your bets as you wish until bet limits
are reached. You can delete bets or repeat your bet combination
of previous game. It is also possible to place different series
(Large series, Zero Spiel, Small series, Orphans, Neighbours,
Finales). Voice croupier guides the player through the game and
whole game course can be seen on the screen.
To insure fair play, the computer randomly changes the strength
of launched ball, position and rotating speed of the roulette
wheel for each game. Also betting times can be changed. This
totally eliminates predictability of the winning number. The
result depends exclusively on the free ball fall and roulette
wheel movement. The roulette wheel is placed in the centre of
the machine and it’s physically separated from the player
stations. Physical force can’t have any influence on the result.
The roulette ball is made of no-metal material (phenol resin) so
that magnetic or electric force has no affect on it.
The computer stores all data and game history. In case of player’s
protest the game history can be examined to explain the
misunderstandings. In case of blackout all the data can be
recalled, so that machine is able to establish the state of last
game without any loss of data.
Statistics also include information of every single game, pay-in,
payout, position and value of bets, credit state, wins, profit,
currency data, all wining numbers etc.
