Abstract
A method and system for providing an electronic wagering game that simulates the game play of roulette. The system comprises a dealer control terminal for managing the wagering game, a display in communication with the dealer control device for presenting a virtual and animated display of a traditional roulette wagering layout, a plurality of player terminals configured for wagering on the wagering game, and a game outcome determining device. The outcome determining device is preferably a card handling and/or shuffling device which is used in conjunction with cards having indicia corresponding to the numbers and colors present on a standard casino roulette wheel. The preferred method includes the steps of receiving wagers according to conventional roulette rules, randomly shuffling cards using the shuffling device, dealing one randomly shuffled card from the card handling device, inputting the indicia on the one dealt card into the game to resolve all wagers, and actuating an animated presentation designed to display events leading to a virtual roulette conclusion substantially similar to the indicia on the one dealt card.
