We've just pushed a change to add a 4th main button to allow you to double all of your active bets. We also now display the sum of your total much active bets. This should make it easier to quickly see how much you're betting, and also make it easier to vary your bets between spins.

Also, and you may already do this, can you data tag the field so that only the numeric keys show on mobile devices?

This change is now live!

This seems a little patchy.  For example, click on the top edge of the table, between the 12 and 15.  "10 to 15 sixline" pops up as the title.  Click right in the middle of the 'x' in 'sixline' and the box almost never closes.  But click a pixel or two to the left and it does.  I'm not sure what is determining whether the popup closes or not when I click on its title/description.

Ah, good catch! It turns out this was because of the arrow, which is actually just a square div rotated 45 degrees, not having a click handler assigned to it. This resulted in the small triangle at the top of the popup not responding to clicks. This is fixed now.


I just spun the roulette wheel for the first time since your recent changes.  And it's still spinning.  My Internet went out for a while, but it's back now.  I was thinking the wheel might stop when the Internet service came back, but no.

Edit: reloading the page shows my balance back to where it started, so in all likelihood the server never saw my bet.  The "repeat last" button was greyed out, too.  Should the web browser re-submit the bet when Internet service returns?  Because it doesn't appear to.

It does make sense that the wheel would just keep spinning forever, because the response from the server is what triggers the animation to stop.  Also, your bet won't get automatically re-submitted to the server - it just makes a single request.

We can probably handle this situation much more gracefully by adding a timeout to the request, and then alerting you that your internet is likely out. We'll look into doing that.

A suggestion: remember what game I was playing most recently, and take me back to that game when I visit your site.  Currently it always seems to start at blackjack, even though it's able to remember my last roulette bet between sessions.

That's a really good idea! I had thought of doing this when I launched Video Poker a while ago, but never ended up executing it. So, thanks for the reminder!
