To start, click on a chip
denomination in the control panel and then click
on bet spots in the table layout to place bets.
Each left-click
on a bet spot places a chip and each
right-click
removes a chip. If you place more than the maximum
bet on any given spot, your bet will automatically
be reduced to the maximum allowed. The total
amount of all the bets you have on the table will
be shown in the Total
Bet counter.
As you mouse-over each bet spot
on the table layout, text will appear at the
bottom of the control panel to tell you the bet
name, payout odds, amount already placed and
maximum bet for that spot. For example: "$5 bet on
the Joker pays 43 to 1 ($50 Max Bet)".
Note that you do not have to
bet the amount shown on the bet spots. You can bet
hundreds on the $2 spot, or just $1 on the $10
spot. The spot numbers indicate what you’ll win
for a $1 bet (the minimum). So, a $1 bet on the
$10 spot wins $10.
When you have all your bets
placed, you are ready to spin the wheel. Click
Spin on the
control panel. The wheel will spin up and then
slowly come to a stop as the leather strap offers
resistance to the pegs. When the strap settles
between two pegs, the final value will appear on
the Results Board
on the left-hand side, winning bet spots will
light up on the table, bets will be settled and
the total amount paid out to you will be shown in
the Message Window
in the upper right.
Simply click
Re-bet to replay
the bets you had on the previous spin, or place
new bets and click Spin for another round. Have
fun and good luck!

Little Old Lady Knows How to Gamble
A little old lady went into the Bank of Canada one day,
carrying a bag of money. She insisted that she must speak with
the president of the bank to open a savings account because, "It's
a lot of money!" After much hemming and hawing, the bank staff
finally ushered her into the president's office.
The bank president then asked her how much she would like to
deposit. She replied, "$165,000!" and dumped the cash out of
her bag onto his desk. The president was, of course, curious
as to how she came by all this cash, so he asked her, "Ma'am,
I'm surprised you're carrying so much cash around. Where did
you get this money?" The old lady replied, "I make bets."
The president then asked, "Bets? What kind of bets?" The old
woman said, "Well, for example, I'll bet you $25,000 that your
balls are square." "Ha!" laughed the president, "That's a
stupid bet. You can never win that kind of bet!" The old lady
challenged, "So, would you like to take my bet?" "Sure," said
the president, "I'll bet $25,000 that my balls are not square!"
The little old lady then said, "Okay, but since there is a lot
of money involved, may I bring my lawyer with me tomorrow at
10:00 am as a witness?" "Sure!" replied the confident
president.
That night, the president got very nervous about the bet and
spent a long time in front of a mirror checking his balls,
turning from side to side, again and again. He thoroughly
checked them out until he was sure that there was absolutely
no way his balls were square and that he would win the bet.
The next morning, at precisely 10 am, the little old lady
appeared with her lawyer at the president's office. She
introduced the lawyer to the president and repeated the bet:
"$25,000 says the president's balls are square!" The president
agreed with the bet again and the old lady asked him to drop
his pants so they could all see. The president complied. The
little old lady peered closely at his balls and then asked if
she could feel them. "Well, Okay," said the president,"$25,000
is a lot of money, so I guess you should be absolutely sure."
Just then, he noticed that the lawyer was quietly banging his
head against the wall. The president asked the old lady, "What
the hell's the matter with your lawyer?" She replied, "Nothing,
except I bet him $50,000 that at 10 am today, I'd have the
president of the Bank of Canada's balls in my hand." |
