African Roulette: betting on a thirteen-sector wheel
African Roulette is played on a wheel of thirteen sectors: the 0, plus six red and six black sectors numbered 1 to 12. The game belongs to the 1xGames lineup on 1xBet in Morocco, and the balance is held in MAD.
The screen opens with a white ball resting at the centre of the wheel. A "Your stake" indicator at the top shows the amount staked, and a red button captioned "Place a bet" appears beneath the wheel.
How the wheel turns
The "Spin" button launches the wheel and the ball at the same moment. When the wheel comes to a stop, the ball settles in one of the sectors. Around the rim, red and black take turns, and the numbers skip about rather than climbing in order: 12, for instance, is flanked by 5 and 3.
Placing chips and reading the odds
The betting table shows the numbers along with boxes set aside for groups of them. Drop one or more chips onto the table, or pick the chip of the value you need first and then the spot where it should go. The odds depend on the type of bet:
Bet type | What it covers | Numbers | Odds |
|---|---|---|---|
Single number (straight-up) | the number you pick | 1 | 12.6 |
Half | 1 to 6, or 7 to 12 | 6 | 2.1 |
Third | 1 to 4, 5 to 8, or 9 to 12 | 4 | 3.15 |
Colour | the "Red" box or the "Black" box | 6 | 2.1 |
Colour and half bets cover six numbers each and share 2.1. The odds on a third, 3.15, are one and a half times as high, and the straight-up odds of 12.6 are four times those of a third.
Deposits in Morocco and other sections
CIH Bank is one route for funding a MAD account, which is opened on the registration page. Beyond 1xGames, the online casino and the slots section hold further games, while live betting follows matches in progress.
