## Abstract

An electronic roulette wagering method, apparatus, and computer readable storage which displays a set of twelve bonus symbols. Each of the twelve bonus symbols is associated only with a row of three adjacent numbers. If on each spin of the roulette wheel, the ball lands on one of the associated three numbers, then the wager wins and a payout is made. Typically, a payout on a second (and thereafter) consecutive winning spin is higher than a payout for the first winning spin.
