Abstract
In order to increase interest in a roulette game, roulette apparatus is provided with a counter to accumulate, and a display for displaying in the vicinity of the roulette table, a jackpot fund which increases as play progresses. A jackpot is paid out of the jackpot fund according to prescribed criteria. A parallel fund, not displayed to the players, may also be accumulated for replenishing the jackpot fund rapidly after a jackpot payout occurs.
