30-2299.02The Play - Roulette with Straights and 8's. Effective 2/14/18Straights and 8's is a patent-pending roulette variation game, the rights to which are owned by Aces Up Gaming of Wheat Ridge, CO and which may be transferred or assigned. Straights and 8's shall be played according to the following rules:
(1) Players must place their Straights and 8's wager in the designated wagering position before the dealer signals for no more bets.(2) The dealer will spin the ball and wave for no more bets per standard house procedures.(3) The dealer will collect each Straights and 8's wager that has been placed and will move them to the corresponding numbered position that represents the player's position on the roulette table. Players are not allowed to make additional Straights and 8's wagers until the current Straights and 8's game sequence has ended.(4) The dealer will mark the roulette number and immediately mark the number on the Straights and 8's number track. That number will stay marked until the game sequence has ended. The dealer will follow standard house procedures for servicing all regular roulette wagers.(5) After the first Straights and 8's number has been established, the dealer will spin the ball for the next game. The dealer will mark the roulette number and immediately mark the number on the Straights and 8's number track, then follow normal house procedures for roulette once the second number is established. If the second number is within two numbers of the first number marked (i.e. if the number was a 5 and the second number is a 3, 4, 6 or 7) or if the first number was an 8, 18 or 28 and the second number is also an 8, 18 or 28, the dealer will leave the markers on the Straights and 8's number track. If the second number is out of range for a winning pay out, the bet loses and is collected by the dealer.(6) If the second number marked is within the range for a winning pay out, the dealer will spin the ball for a third game. The dealer will mark the roulette number and immediately mark the number on the Straights and 8's number track, then follow normal house procedures for roulette once the third number is established. If the third number falls outside the range for a winning 3 number pay out, the game sequence has ended and the dealer will pay the wager according to the posted pay schedule. The third spin is specifically to see if a winning 2 number pay out can be increased to a 3 number pay out; it will not create a combination of two pay outs.(7) If 0 or 00 is marked for the first or second number, the Straights and 8's wager loses and the dealer will collect the bet. If 0 or 00 is marked for the third number, the Straights and 8's game sequence has ended and the dealer will pay the wager according to the posted pay schedule.(8) Pay out examples: (a) First number is a 5 and the second number is a 3. This is a 2 numbers with 1 Number Gap win that pays 4 to 1. If the third number is a 4, this pay out becomes a 3 Sequential Numbers in a Row win that pays 50 to 1.(b) First number is a 12 and the second number is a 13. This is a 2 Sequential Numbers in a Row win. If the third number is a 10, the pay out will remain a 2 Sequential Numbers in a Row win that pays 7 to 1.(c) First number is 5 and the second number is a 3. This is a 2 Numbers with 1 Number Gap pay out. If the third number is a 2 or a 6, the pay out will remain a 2 Numbers with 1 Number Gap win that pays 4 to 1.(d) First number is an 18 and the second number is a 28. This is a 2 Numbers with 8's in a Row pay out. If the third number is a 29, the pay out will remain a 2 Numbers with 8's in a Row win that pays 4 to 1.(e) First number is a 5 and the second number is a 7. This is a 2 Numbers with a 1 Number Gap win that pays 4 to 1. If the third number is an 8, the pay out will remain a 2 Numbers with a 1 Number Gap win that pays 4 to 1. This does not create a 2 Sequential Numbers in a Row win since the 7 was the second number and the 8 was the third number.(8) Pay table: Consecutive Spins Pay Table | Pays |
2 Numbers with a 1 Number Gap (first two numbers marked) | 4 to 1 |
2 Numbers with 8's in a Row (first two numbers marked) | 4 to 1 |
2 Sequential Numbers in a Row (first two numbers marked) | 7 to 1 |
3 Sequential Numbers with 8's (8, 18 or 28) in a Row | 50 to 1 |
3 Sequential Numbers in a Row | 50 to 1 |
8-18-28 in the first three spins, any order | 299 to 1 |

If the previous number does not hit, the Spinner Winner wager will lose.(3) When the same number is hit on consecutive spins, the dealer will resolve all the traditional roulette wagers before initiating the Spinner Winner Bonus round. Spinner Winner Bets will remain on the felt until the pay outs are determined.(4) The dealer initiates the Bonus round by placing two or three balls (dependent upon which version the retail licensee has opted to use) in the U-Spin. Dependent upon posted house rules, either the dealer or a player will press the button to eject the balls onto the wheel. Where these balls land will determine the Bonus round pay out. (a) When using three balls, in the event more than one ball lands in the same pocket, the dealer will re-load one of those balls into the U-Spin and re-spin it. Any balls already in pockets by themselves will not be re-spun.(5) Pay tables: Two Ball Version - Single 0 Wheel |

30-2299.04The play - Roulette Up.Roulette Up is a copyrighted, trademarked, and patented roulette variation game, the rights to which are owned by Galaxy Gaming, Inc. of Las Vegas, Nevada and which may be transferred or assigned. Roulette Up must be played according to the following rules:
(1) Roulette Up contains bonus (felt) and progressive wagers that are house-banked optional proposition wagers used in the game of roulette.(2) Roulette Up is based on the sequence of spins after the wager is placed, betting that the numbers spun will be in an increasing sequence. The wagers are paid based on the streak length (amount of spins of increasing numbers) before the streak ends, according to the respective pay tables (below).(3) There is no effect on the primary game of roulette regardless of the outcome of the Roulette Up bonus and/or progressive wager.START OF GAME
(1) Prior to the start of each round of roulette play, players may optionally make a Roulette Up bonus and/or progressive wager in combination with their primary roulette wager(s). The retail licensee will choose whether or not players are required to make a standard roulette wager in order to be eligible to make any Roulette Up wagers.(2) The Roulette Up bonus and progressive wagers are placed on their designated spots on the table layout at the same time as any primary roulette wagers. Note that Roulette Up bonus and progressive wagers may only be placed if there is not a streak (round) currently active.(3) A player may optionally place a wager for the benefit of the dealer. That wager is placed on top of or near his/her standard roulette wager, the Roulette Up bonus wager, or both. All tip wagers are the discretion of the retail licensee.(4) When a Roulette Up progressive wager is placed on the sensor, that sensor will flash, indicating a wager is present. Once all, and if any, Roulette Up progressive wagers have been made, the dealer will lock in those wagers by pressing the dealer button. The dealer will ensure that all sensors, with wagers, that were previously flashing, are now continuously lit, while sensors without any wagers remain unlit. The dealer then collects all Roulette Up progressive wagers, as they are paid on a "for 1" basis.(5) All Roulette Up bonus wagers will remain on their designated bet spots on the layout until the streak has ended, as detailed below, since the wagers are always active for at least two spins after the initial wagers are placed.(6) The minimum and maximum wagering limits of the Roulette Up bonus wager, and the fixed dollar amount of the Roulette Up progressive wager, are determined by the house and/or Colorado law. The wagering limits and any aggregate pay out limitations must be posted on the table or layout.(7) The Roulette Up wagers are closed for betting at the same time as any of the standard roulette wagers, based on house procedures.(8) The first spin after any Roulette Up wagers are placed establishes the starting number. A lammer or dolly is placed in the "1" box of the Up Streak tracker on the table layout, denoting that the current streak length is 1.CONTINUATION AND END OF THE STREAK
(1) The Roulette Up bonus and/or progressive wagers are active for as long as each subsequent spin is a greater number than the previous number. The streak length is tracked on the Up Streak tracker on the table layout after each increasing number is spun, by moving the lammer or dolly along the boxes based on the amount of subsequent increasing spins. Note that 00 is considered greater than 0 and less than 1.(2) While the Roulette Up bonus and progressive wagers remain active (the streak continues), no new Roulette Up bonus or progressive wagers can be made.(3) The Roulette Up bonus and progressive wager ends when one of the following streak-ending events occur: (a) The most recent number spun is less than or equal to the previous number.(b) The most recent number spun is 36 (which cannot be exceeded and hence, no need to wait for another spin).(c) The longest streak length available on the Roulette Up bonus or progressive pay table(s) has been reached. Note: None of the above streak-ending events move the Up Streak tracker on the table layout (e.g., increase the streak length).
END OF STREAK, DETERMINATION OF WINNER; TAKE OR PAY PROCEDURES
(1) Once the streak ends, the dealer will reconcile all Roulette Up bonus and progressive wagers according to the streak length, as posted on the corresponding pay table(s). Players will only be awarded for the highest qualifying streak length, according to the pay table(s).(a) If the ending streak is not long enough to achieve a winning event, the dealer collects all Roulette Up Bonus wagers.(b) If the ending streak is long enough to achieve a winning event for the Roulette Up bonus and/or progressive wagers, according to the corresponding pay table(s), then all qualifying Roulette Up bonus and/or progressive wagers are paid accordingly.(2) Once all Roulette Up bonus and/or progressive wagers have been reconciled, wagering on Roulette Up is once again available.
