According to various embodiments, an apparatus may laser project a customized ordering of numbers onto a roulette wheel.

A tilt detection system including a roulette wheel, at least one inclination sensor positioned on or within a rim of the roulette wheel, and a display module comprising a plurality of light outputs. The tilt detection system can obtain positional data during operation of the roulette wheel and determine tilt data indicative of the roulette wheel's position relative to a baseline indicative of a leveled state. A roulette wheel tilt status, e.g., level, warning, and error, may be determined based on the tilt data, and a display module can activate the plurality of light outputs based on the tilt status. Two or more stepper motors may lever the roulette wheel in response to the tilt status.

A wagering system including a roulette wheel, multiple balls of a first or second color, a selector for selecting a ball, and a processor that causes the system to randomly select a ball for use in the game which is determined when the selected ball stops at a numbered wheel position, selects one or more side bet numbers when a side bet is placed by a player, and resolves side bet wagers as follows: side bet wagers are forfeit when a first colored ball is selected or paid at lower odds; side bet wager may be forfeit when either ball is selected and the number position on the roulette wheel does not match the side bet number; and side bet wagers are resolved at higher odds when the second colored ball is the selected ball and the number position on the roulette wheel matches the side bet number.

A gaming system, device and method are disclosed herein. The system, in an embodiment, involves a play area having a plurality of grid columns and grid rows. The system involves receiving a selection of one of the grid spaces. The system determines at least one of the grid spaces based on a relationship among a plurality of factors, including data related to an event occurring outside of the game, at least one column symbol and at least one row symbol. The system is operable to cause an output device to indicate an outcome as a result of the selected grid space being the at least one grid space that is determined based on the relationship.

Embodiments of various games are described. One example embodiment includes a plurality of wheels on which players may place a bet. A different number of wheels may be used from game to game.

A roulette game enables single-spin formation of meaningful character strings, which character strings may be coupled to tones for enhancing the gaming experience. The meaningful character strings may be defined by solfege-enabling letter groups, which letter groups may prompt underlying tones in solmization. The syllabic roulette game comprises a roulette wheel, a wager-enabling layout, and a plurality of balls. The wheel comprises alphabetic characters against a rainbow colored backdrop for enabling various payout schemes. A color-coordinated wager support surface is preferably disposed adjacent the roulette wheel for facilitating wager placement.

A gaming system combines roulette and mahjong gaming into a single new game for ball-effecting a mahjong event. The game may comprise a grouped series of roulette wheel assemblies bearing mahjong symbols and a plurality of balls respectively receivable in ball-receiving sectors for identifying a number of mahjong symbols. The group of mahjong symbols identified by the randomly received balls defines a wagerable mahjong event. Players may participate in the gaming in a player participation area, which area is opposed a theatrical or auditorium type visual display of the grouped roulette wheel assembly action. Players may input their wagers in the player participation area and watch the roulette action unfold on the visual displays. Certain methodology for effecting the mahjong event is further supported by the roulette medium.

The present inventions concerns a roulette apparatus (1) comprising at least one graphical roulette-display-system (10) and a mechanical wheel (20) having a plurality of pockets (21) adapted to receive a ball, wherein the mechanical wheel (20) and the at least one graphical roulette-display-system (10) is controlled by an electronic-control-system (30) and wherein the at least one graphical roulette-display-system (10) displays a field of numbers and/or symbols and the roulette apparatus (1) further comprising at least one wheel control unit (60) adapted to influence the rotation and/or movement of the mechanical wheel (20) according to the electronic-control-system (30) in order to bring the wheel into a position based on an information received from the electronic-control-system (30).
