Roulette UP! is a multi-spin side bet for roulette based on achieving a sequence of increasing numbers. It’s a community wager, much like the pass line in craps, where everyone wins or loses at the same time. UP! will give your players something to root for and will turn your roulette table into a party.
How To Play
- Each player makes a wager on the Roulette UP! wagering area.
- Similar to craps, the next spin establishes the point number.
- If 36 shows, the wager loses right away. There aren’t any roulette numbers greater than 36. Otherwise the bet continues and the wheel is spun again. If the next number spun is greater than the current point, it becomes the new point number. If not, the bet ends.
- The UP! wager lasts as long as each successive roulette spin makes a new point by beating the previous point, up to a dozen spins total, with the dealer tracking numbers on a special layout area or by using the recent-number display.
- When the sequence is over, the number of points is compared to a paytable to determine how much the players win.
- For example, the sequence 5, 8, 10, 22, 19 would be four points (5, 8, 10, 22 before 19 didn’t beat the point), while the same numbers in a different order, 5, 10, 8, 22, 19 would only be two points. For American roulette, 00 is considered greater than 0 and less than 1 to match the order on the layout.
The paytable for a one unit wager is:
| # of Points | Award (in units) |
| 12 (top award) | 2500 |
| 11 | 1000 |
| 10 | 500 |
| 9 | 250 |
| 8 | 100 |
| 7 | 50 |
| 6 | 25 |
| 5 | 10 |
| 4 | 5 |
| 3 | 2 |
| 2 | 0 (push) |
| 1 | -1 (lose) |
With this paytable, the house edge is 5.06% (American roulette) or 5.26% (European roulette).
