The live table can be equipped with components that allow promotional display of game results and integration of electronic table game machines. The source of the game results can be configured and range from physical live wheels, automatic wheels and server-based RNGs to EGM-local RNGs. For the electronic table game machine in stand-alone mode (Single) the default game time is 30 seconds + collection animation time.

9 3 Game Rules The objective of Roulette is to bet on the outcome of a randomly selected number that is determined by the spinning of a roulette wheel. The game results can be determined by a live wheel, an automatic wheel or via a random number generator (RNG). The RNG can be located on a server or on the electronic gaming machine. The following steps make up a game: 1. The player places his bets. 2. The wheel is spun to determine the winning number. 3. Losing bets are removed and winning bets are paid out. 3.1 RTP and Pay Table The over-all Return To Player (RTP) of the Roulette game is %. 7

The currently selected chip representing a betting value is highlighted after selection.

The bet on a certain type of bet is increased with each selection by the currently selected chip value. The current bet on a certain type of bet is visualized according to table 4.2. The MAX chip value automatically sets the maximum possible bet on any given field, depending on residual credits and maximum bet settings. The chip values and chip colour (table 4.1) can be configured in server-based installations on the server.
