Basic Outline of sidebet rules / how to play
Double Action Roulette is introduced by TCSJOHNHUXLEY and is played on their Mark VII Roulette Wheel. The game offers a unique variation to the traditional game of Roulette, delivering two winning numbers from a single spin. This is achieved using two sets of numbers (inner and outer rings) situated in opposing order on a single wheel, one spin marks two numbers.
The Double Action table layout consists of two identical betting areas. Each area accommodates bets for one of the two sets of numbers on the wheel. In addition, new areas including the Double Action Track are available for placing bets on double numbers occurring - paying up to 1200 to 1. The game demands no complicated rules.
The Wheel
The wheel is divided into two opposite spinning sets of numbers. Each wheel is evenly divided into 37 equal segments, numbered 1 to 36. Numbers are divided into red and black with the exception of 0, which is green.
The object of the game is to predict which numbered compartment the ball will fall into by placing a wager on the appropriate number on the layout or layouts. Wagers may also be placed to predict a sequence of numbers. The best odds are given for predicting the number outright (“straight up”) and the odds diminish depending on the range of numbers in the sequence, line or block. Players are not normally limited in the number or range of bets they may place on the same “spin” unless otherwise specified locally.
It is also possible to wager on whether the numbers will be red or black, odd or even, low or high (often called the “outside / even chance bets”).
