ABSTRACT:
An electronic game is housed in an enclosure that is free-standing and accessible by many players or in a structure suitable for one player.
The game duplicates much of the sight and sound associated with conventional roulette. One embodiment includes a circular matrix of light emitting diodes (LEDs) of red and green color that provides for the simulation of the roulette wheel by circulating the fixed numerical sequence of a standard roulette wheel in "marquee" fashion. The roulette ball is duplicated by a circle of lights just outside of the aforementioned circular number matrix. Sounds of the roulette ball spinnings are electronically generated and reproduced by a loudspeaker.
The player is allowed to electronically "spin" the wheel and electronically "spin" the ball at the start of each game. An automatic mode is provided wherein the game automatically spins the ball and wheel at varying speeds. Number selections or the like are accepted at the start of each spin sequence, and up until a certain time, whereafter, no more selections are taken. Thus, as in conventional roulette, the ball and wheel are in motion before the player is required to make a selection.
The selection surface is controlled by the game computer and can accept any of the over 100 selections allowed in roulette. Multiple selections per number are allowed as are multiple number selections. All control of the "wheel", "ball", selection surfaces, sounds and bonuses is by the game computer.
