Pinball Roulette is a variant of traditional roulette and combines elements of the classic casino game with those of a pinball machine (pinball). Here is a detailed explanation of the game and its rules:
Playing Field and Equipment
- The playing field consists of a pinball-like layout and a roulette wheel with 37 or 38 slots (depending on whether there is a double zero).
- Players place their bets on a digital or physical betting board similar to traditional roulette.
Gameplay Pinball roulette
- Players place their bets on the betting board. This can range from bets on single numbers to colors (red or black) and other outside bets.
- Instead of a ball being spun in a wheel, a ball is launched in a pinball layout.
- The ball bounces around between pins until it finally lands in one of the numbered boxes.
- All winning bets are paid out according to the payout table.
Types of Bets
- Inside bets: Single numbers, splits (two numbers), streets (three numbers), etc.
- Outside bets: Red/black, even/even, high/low numbers, columns, dozens, etc.
Payouts
- Single number: 35:1
- Split: 17:1
- Street: 11:1
- Etc., depending on the type of bet.
Special Rules
- Depending on the casino, there may be extra features, such as bonus rounds inspired by pinball machines, where you can get extra winnings.
Strategies
- Although the game is largely chance-based, some players use betting systems such as Martingale or Fibonacci to influence their odds.
Advantages and Disadvantages Pinball
- Advantages are the unique gameplay and visual elements.
- Disadvantages are that the house edge is similar to traditional roulette, meaning the odds are not necessarily better for the player.
