The larger bar graph shows the number of times that each number has won. To the left of the graph is the message "SCALE X" followed by a number. Multiply this number by the number along the side of the graph to get the correct number of spins. To simulate a number of spins, click on SPIN SIMULATION. A window will pop up with the message "SIMULATE A NUMBER OF SPINS OF THE WHEEL UP TO 30,000." Click on the up and down arrows in the window to increase or decrease the number of spins. Click on START to begin the simulation. When you are finished, click on QUIT to return to the game. OTHER OPTIONS European Wheel The European roulette wheel does not have a green 00 space. This reduces the house advantage and gives the player slightly better odds. To play with a European wheel, click on the EUROPEAN WHEEL button. Surrender If surrender is allowed, the player only loses half of a 1-to-1 bet (Red/Black, Odd/Even, or 1-18/19-36) made when a green number (0 or 00) comes up. To play with this option, click on SURRENDER. Chip Value To change the value of a single chip, click on SET CHIP VALUE. Type in the value of a chip and press [ENTER]. ** END OF FILE **
