    Wondering how the new bot's roulette game works? You are in the right place! :D

    First, if you have not already done so, you should check out your own bot page where you can monitor your candy/hours watched, see the roulette table, and actually make bets while roulette games are running!

    To start playing, all you need to do is wait for a mod to start a roulette game and then go here to view the roulette table and chat commands to bet candy. Once you place your bet, LowcoBot will immediately remove the candy from you. Lose and the candy is gone, win and you'll get the candy you bet back plus additional candy for winning your bet (see payouts below).

    Example bet: !spin red 10

    Roulette is a very simple game. There is a wheel with 37 numbers (0-36). When a mod starts a game anyone in chat can bet their candy. The amount of candy you bet is immediately removed from your total. When the time is up (usually after 5 minutes) the bot "spins the wheel" and reports the winning number.

    Suppose the winning number is black 11. If you bet 1 candy on black, you get that one candy back plus one candy for winning your bet. This is known as a 1 to 1 bet. Any bet that has a 50% chance to win will be a 1 to 1 bet. Black has a 50% chance to win since half of the numbers from 1 to 36 are colored black (and the other half are red). Similarly 50% of the numbers are even, so betting even (or odd) is also a 1 to 1 bet.


    The lower the chance of your bet being successful, the higher the payout. Betting on the "1ST12" space is a 2 to 1 bet since only 33% of the numbers are between 1 and 12. If you bet 1 candy on 1ST12 and black 11 won, you would get the 1 candy back plus 2 more candy (hence the 2 to 1 bet). You can even go completely crazy and wager candy on a single number. Since the odds of a single number winning are 1 in 36 (2.77%), it is a 35 to 1 bet!

    Note that there is a 37th number, the green 0 at the end of the table. If 0 wins, bets like black/red, even/odd all lose! :eek:

    Here is a list of all possible bets and payouts:

    1 to 1 bets (1 candy bet wins 2, net +1)
    Black/Red
    Even/Odd
    Half1 (#s 1-18)/Half2 (#s 19-36)

    2 to 1 bets (1 candy bet wins 3, net +2)
    1ST12 (#s 1-12)/2ND12 (#s 13-24)/3RD12 (#s 25-36)
    Column A/B/C

    35 to 1 bets (1 candy bet wins 36, net +35)
    Any single number (0-36)

    Other FYI's:
    • You can bet as many times as you like each game, your candy will be removed for each bet
    • The bot will not give confirmation for any bets, but your candy total will drop
    • If you win, the bot will post a message "yourname profits 10 candy"
    • If you lose, or you win and lose the same amount, no message will appear
    • There is a limit of 5,000 candy per game, and you are only allowed to gamble as much as you have (i.e. you can't bet 10 candy if you only have 9)
    • Generally, mods start roulette games during breaks and at the end of the stream. If you really want to play, you can ask a mod, but we can't guarantee we will run one for you
