Introduction
The Roulette Up side bet is a unique wager in roulette that pays out when the results of subsequent spins increase for at least three spins in a row. This option is provided by Galaxy Gaming.
Rules
- At the recent Global Gaming Expo, I encountered this specific side bet which operates on a double-zero roulette wheel.
- The cost of the side bet is $5.
- For this side bet, the sequence of numbers is set as follows: 00, 0, 1, 2, 3,..., 36.
- Once the side bet is placed, the game counts how many times the outcome of each spin exceeds that of the one before it.
- An electronic display keeps track of the various players and the timing of their bets.
- The pay table is as follows:
- Streak of 8 or more -- Pays Jackpot
- Streak of 7 -- Pays $1,000
- Streak of 6 -- Pays $300
- Streak of 5 -- Pays $100
- Streak of 4 -- Pays $50
- Streak of 3 -- Pays $10
- In addition to tracking players, the game display also highlights a mystery jackpot that activates unpredictably, with a 'must hit by' threshold set at $1,250.
Examples:
- For instance, the sequence 10-20-30-25 is considered a streak of 3, as the number 25 is lower than 30.
- In the series 5-10-15-20-35-35, we see a streak of 5, since the second occurrence of 35 does not surpass the first 35.

Analysis
The table below presents the findings of my analysis. The cell in the lower-right corner indicates that the fixed wins have an expected value of $3.52.
Roulette Up Analysis
Event | Pays | Probability | Return |
---|---|---|---|
8+ | ? | 0.000011 | ? |
7 | $1,000 | 0.000099 | 0.099054 |
6 | $300 | 0.000807 | 0.241975 |
5 | $100 | 0.005418 | 0.541795 |
4 | $50 | 0.029066 | 1.453287 |
3 | $10 | 0.118339 | 1.183390 |
1 or 2 | 0 | 0.846260 | 0.000000 |
Total+ | 1.000000 | 3.519501 |
The value per $10,000 in the jackpot meter is 2.25%.
The breakeven jackpot, assuming there is no value assigned to the Mystery Jackpot, is calculated to be $131,624.57.
I'm unsure about the reseed amount or the rate of contribution for the Mystery Jackpot, hence I'm unable to provide an analysis on that.
The subsequent table illustrates the precise number of permutations for streaks ranging in length from 1 to 38.
