A device for setting up a game with a ball, the device being reversibly dismountable so that it can be assembled and/or played with anywhere on an existing plate surface. The device includes at least one ball clamping unit with a first side wall, a second side wall, and a ball admission opening which is arranged between the first side wall and the second side wall. The ball is clamped in the at least one ball clamping unit so that the ball remains on the existing plate surface when the ball enters the ball admission opening. The at least one ball clamping unit is detachably fastened to the existing plate surface in an assembled state.

A roulette machine having a launch device including an automatic ball-change device is described. The ball-change device includes a rotatable main wheel comprising a plurality of pockets, and a rotatable switch wheel switching between an open position and a closed position. The main wheel receives and stores a plurality of roulette balls for future use and facilitates changing of a current game ball and, with the switch wheel, delivering the roulette ball to a launch start position or other desired output. The main wheel and the switch wheel may be independently rotatable, and coordinate with one or more sensors to determine a timing and delivery of a specifically-selected game ball to start a game cycle.
