Sample Results and Betting Advice
The examples on this page are explained using the Three Spin version. The same concepts can
be applied to the Four Spin and Five Spin version.
Each bet is active and unresolved until after the third spin. This may cause some bettors
to assume that they can only place the bet once every three spins. This page was designed to show
that locking out bets while prior bets are unresolved, may cause the bettor to miss out on some
winning combinations. On the other hand, the casino may elect to keep things simple by not allowing
new bets while other bets are unresolved.
On the other hand, in the interest of keeping things simple, casinos may elect to lock out
addional bets. And since the various multiple-roll side-bets at craps also lock players out until
resolved, it's not an unpresedented practice.
In either case, consider the following 21 random spins:

While these results may not be typical, the chance of missing a winner by not betting on
every spin, is very real.
Consider the spin history displays shown in these photos.
Starting at the top of the displays, each set of three spins produced the following Poker
For Roulette™ results.
Note that if these were on the five-spin version, some contain four and five of a kinds, full houses, and flushes.

Sands, Bethlehem, PA. Photo courtesy of Adam I., a friend of the Poker For Roulette™ team. Adam happened to walk up to the Roulette table after the second time the 5 hit. Since 5 is one of his numbers, he played the 5 and with it hitting another five times, he parlayed it up to a nice payday before finally taking the picture. Too bad this happened in a casino that does not yet have Poker For Roulette™.
