Triple Poker
Introduction
Triple Poker is a side bet in Live Automatic European Roulette by Fazi, a provider of live dealer games for Internet casinos. This game has three concentric reels, numbered 0 to 37, and one ball. Thus, every spin determines the outcome of three bets.
Rules
The game uses a roulette wheel with three concentric rings of numbers from 0 to 37 and one ball.
All the standard roulette bets are available. Making one is like making three bets, one for each ring.
In Addition, there is a Triple Poker bet, based on the poker value of the three winning numbers.
Although not addressed in the help file, I assume the 0 is treated like any other number, including 0-1-2 counting as a straight.
