Crown Roulette is European roulette built for Apple Watch, and a full game on iPhone too. There is no money and no currency anywhere in it. You get ten chips a round for free, the ball decides what comes back, and you decide whether to bank it or let it ride.
A first game opens with a short tutorial on a practice hand: a number, a side bet, a French call, then your first spin. After that the real game starts with whichever daily spin is open.
How a round plays on Apple Watch
The wheel is the table. All 37 pockets are printed on it, in real wheel order, so a chip goes straight onto the number. Tap a pocket to put a chip on it, or turn the Digital Crown to walk the selector round the pockets. Tap UNDO in the middle of the wheel to take the last bet back. The six even-money bets sit as curved pills along the foot of the wheel: 1 to 18, odd, red, black, even, 19 to 36. CLEAR sweeps the table, and REBET lays last round’s chips again.
Press SPIN and the wheel winds up one way while the ball runs the other. It rolls round the rim, slows until the rim can no longer hold it, drops down the cone, knocks off a deflector and skips across the frets before it settles into a pocket, while the wheel coasts on a little longer with the ball sitting in it. The ball’s path is simulated for every spin rather than played back from an animation, and the clicks you hear come from each impact it actually makes. At the end of every spin the wheel turns into a real 3D wheel, and the drop, the bounces and the settle play out in slow motion before the result is called.
Three call bets are printed on the rim itself: VOISINS, TIERS and ORPHELINS, the classic French way to cover a whole stretch of the wheel. Tap one to lay it. Hold a pocket and you cover it and the two pockets either side.
Bank it, or let it ride
Whatever comes back stays on the spots that won, as a pot. Bank turns it into score, for good. Ride leaves the whole stack where it landed and spins again at the same odds. Hit again and the pot multiplies; miss and it is gone. There is no limit on rides.
The numbers are plain roulette numbers. One chip on a straight-up number that hits is 36. Ride it once more and hit, and it is 1,296. Ten chips on red that hit come back as 20. Chips come off your score when you spin and banked pots go back on, so the score works like a bankroll: it rises when your nerve pays off and falls when it does not. It never drops below 10, one full round, so there is always another hand.
Three daily spins
There are three spins a day: the Morning Spin, the Afternoon Spin and the Evening Spin. They open at 05:00, 12:00 and 18:00 on your own clock, so there is always one open. Each is one hand of ten chips on a random wheel. Ride the pot as long as you like; the run ends when you bank or when you lose it, and what comes back is your score. Every spin has its own Game Center leaderboard, highest first, and a streak counts the days you come back. The wheel is random on purpose. A wheel shared by everyone would have an answer that could be looked up, so every player gets a fresh spin and the same chance.
Everything the daily spins unlock is free forever. Royal Pass members get one retry on each spin, and the better of the two counts.
110 things to earn
24 chips, 12 wheels, 24 balls, 14 hub designs, 30 table felts and 6 original music tracks. Every wheel but the mahogany one is its own world: candy stripes, racing checks, blue-and-white porcelain, a galaxy, a tiger, one on fire. The felts go from Monte Carlo baize to Carrara marble, lapis lazuli, malachite, cobblestone, a putting green and asphalt. Six chips move, and balls like the eight ball and the Earth really roll as they run. None of them are sold. Each has a challenge attached: straight-up hits, zeros seen, rides won, pots banked, big banks of 36 or more, days played, or a feat like calling the zero straight up. A colour player and a number player unlock different things first, so the collection rewards playing every way the wheel can be played.
On your watch face
Twelve complications, drawn from live game data: your lifetime score, a countdown to the next daily spin, the felt you play on, and a gallery of every felt you have unlocked, each with the wheel sweeping in from the corner. Tap one and you are back at the table.
