Abstract: An electronic gaming machine that closely emulates the actions, look and feel of a live action roulette game including betting table layout, roulette wheel operation and croupier interactions with the game players is accomplished by a CRT displayed game table and a tower CRT displaying the graphic image of a roulette wheel and the video appearance and speech of the dealer. The roulette game consists of five player stations surrounding a simulated game table consisting of two large horizontal CRT monitors which display the roulette betting field. The game is firmware controlled from a game table chassis which communicates with each player station and with the tower video system. Each player via a track ball and control buttons, places or deletes bets on the displayed betting field during the wagering phase. As the game progresses announcements to the players appear on the CRT betting table and on the tower video monitor by the live video appearance of the current game dealer.
