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.

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 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.

The invention relates to a device for facilitating the mixing of balls in drums of recreational games which is especially designed to improve the mixing of the balls (5) in a drum (3) of a recreational machine of chance. It consists of a horizontally long laminar part (1), in the form of a plate, provided at the ends thereof with means for attaching inside the drum (3) in an articulated or pivoting manner, according to the rotational shaft of said drum (3), said part (1) having an essentially rectangular configuration, the side edges of which have a convergence (6) so as to fit with the inner curvature of the drum (3), whereas the lower edge is provided with notches (7) which are suitable in terms of the shape and size thereof for allowing the balls (5) housed in the drum (3) to pass therethrough.

Systems and methods are disclosed for gaming operations, interfaces, and variations for multi-ball roulette games. In various embodiments, systems and methods may include a roulette wheel, a ball launcher, a pocket sensor, and a controller to manage a round of play. The controller may generate an animation on an interactive graphical user interface of a player station and receive bet information during a betting window. A first roulette ball and a second roulette ball may be launched on the roulette wheel. The pocket sensor may provide information related to a position of the first roulette ball, which triggers a game modification based on a first symbol associated with the position. The pocket sensor may then provide information related to the second roulette ball. Animations related to the gameplay and wager resolution may be provided on the interactive graphical user interface.

Multi-Ball roulette gaming systems and apparatuses are disclosed. A gaming apparatus may include an automated roulette wheel, a ball launcher configured to launch a plurality of roulette balls onto the automated roulette wheel at a specified time during a roulette gaming event, a standalone cabinet, a plurality of player stations positioned around the standalone cabinet, and a controller operating the roulette wheel, the ball launcher, and a roulette gaming event, based on communications with the plurality of player stations. The standalone cabinet may include a top surface supporting the automated roulette wheel and a hollow interior portion housing the ball launcher. The play stations may each include a display providing an interactive graphical user interface.
