So what is it Double ball roulette? It is a wheel that has two balls instead of just one that rotates around the inside edge. You may be wondering how two balls can spin around a track without hitting each other and bouncing off the table. Compressed air is used to fire simultaneously both balls of a tube so that the second ball always follows the first, eliminating any possibility of collision. To make it more exciting, a remote control button is rotated between the players to fire the air gun and roll the balls.
The bet layout for Double Ball is the same as traditional Double Zero roulette, however the payouts differ in that the player has two chances of winning instead of just one.
For him outside bets (red, black, odd, even, etc.) both the balls would have to land on betting spots selected by the players. For example, a bet on black would require both balls to land on black numbers in order to win. Winning payouts for outside bets have been increased to 3/1 instead of 1/1 even money as in traditional roulette.
For him inside bets (a bet only on the numbers) either ball can win, but the payouts are lower than in the traditional game because the player now has two chances to win per spin instead of just one. For example, a straight bet on a single number would return 17/1 instead of 35/1. If both balls land in the same winning pocket, the bet would return 35/1.
If you have never played roulette before, I will detail the betting options, the amounts of the payouts won and the differences between traditional and double ball.
