Las Vegas Roulette is a casino simulation game developed by APh Technological Consulting and published by Mattel Electronics for the Intellivision in 1980. The game emulates the American-style roulette wheel, featuring 38 pockets numbered 1 through 36, 0, and 00. Players can place various types of bets, including straight-up, split, street, corner, and outside bets such as odd/even, red/black, and high/low.
The screen layout consists of a standard roulette betting table, with a moving strip at the top representing the spinning wheel. Players place their bets on the table, and the wheel is spun to determine the winning number. The game calculates wins and losses based on the player’s bets and the outcome of the spin.
Las Vegas Roulette supports both single-player and two-player modes, allowing players to compete against each other or the computer. The game includes audio effects such as card shuffling and coin sounds, enhancing the immersive casino experience. The dealer’s behavior is designed to mimic that of a real casino, adding an element of strategy and challenge to the gameplay.
